She has actually just now signed a contract for at least another year![]()
Coronation Street has been quite happy to say farewell to a number of characters this last year or so (the vast majority of them at the hands of Pat Phelan), but it's good to know one Weatherfield favourite won't be snuffing it any time soon.
Kym Marsh has used her OK! Magazine column to confirm that her character Michelle Connor isn't going anywhere soon.
"I'm really pleased to announce I've signed to Corrie for another year," she wrote. "It's great to know that I'll be there for another 12 months doing what I love doing and being with my friends."
Just because Michelle won't be getting killed off doesn't mean there won't be drama for her.
She's getting married to Robert Preston soon, and if you think that's going off without a hitch then you're probably wrong. This is Soapland, after all.
And off screen, Kym delighted fans last weekend when she got on the old microphone and performed her former group Hear'Say's number one chart smash 'Pure and Simple'.
Only in Manchester, eh?
