Watch the moment Coronation Street favourite quits the Cobbles in emotional goodbye – before shock twist
THIS was the moment when a Coronation Street fan favourite quit the Cobbles in an emotional goodbye.
But in true ITV soap fashion, a shock twist was dramatically revealed at the end of the episode.
Charlotte Jordan, 30, first joined Coronation Street as Daisy Midgley in 2020.
After five years, she chose to leave the soap and now her departure was finally revealed on-screen.
In recent scenes, Daisy watched her mother Christina (Amy Robbins) confess her plan to scam Jenny (Sally Anne Matthews) out of £60K.
She was going to run off with her lover into the sunset abroad without a thought for Jenny or even her own daughter.
So Daisy informed the police and coerced her pal Kit (Jacob Roberts) to keep her mum in custody for the night so she could work out her plan.
Despite Jenny bursting into tears when she begged her to stay, Daisy insisted that she needed to go to Brighton for a fresh start.
However, after Amy was released, she argued with Jenny and they both realised the extent of Daisy’s scheme.
The episode ended with Daisy using the money to do good deeds for those in her life by giving them written notes as a parting gift.
She supplied a dying Julie (Katy Cavanagh) with a wad of cash as she apologised for ‘ruining her fundraiser’.
Kit had a large bottle of whisky by his desk as she thanked him for making her smile and for keeping her mum in the cell for the night.
On-off lover Daniel (Rob Mallard) was in tears as he hugged his son Bertie as Daisy revealed that she gave them tickets for a dream trip to Disneyland.
At the back of the Rovers, Jenny was in tears as she lost everything, although Daisy was apologetic and she sank a bottle of wine.
Her voiceover read the letter out loud as she explained: “For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.”
But there was one last twist in store as Daisy was in the cab and ready to start her new life away from Weatherfield.
