Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[GloriaW]

Actually, Stephanie left suddenly because of the death of her brother, but was due to leave very soon anyway because her contract was up, which is why she didn't come back. It was her decision not to renew her contract. See the 23rd August comment on her Twitter feed:

So she was never going to play a role in Hayley's cancer storyline in the long term.

Hmm...who do I choose to believe - Stephanie Cole herself or a TV magazine

And I hardly think that Stephanie is likely to make up the death of a brother as an exucse for leaving early. The magazine is only using "an insider", they give no actual person.

And from WIKI:

n August 2013 it was announced that Cole had left Coronation Street, just episodes after her onscreen daughter-in-law had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer .[4]. It was initially speculated that her sudden departure was due to illness but Cole later confirmed on Twitter that she was not ill and that her already pending departure had been brought forward due to the death of her brother [5].

But whatever the reason, she left before they intended and had to do a rewrite.

Yes, Wiki has it right. It's such a shame Stephanie chose to leave, and even worse had to depart suddenly before she was due to leave. She was such an entertaining character, and the hurried departure didn't ring true at all

Here's hoping she'd like to return to Corrie one day.

Great character actress and loved her even more on Doc Martin.
