Speaking with Charlotte Jordan about Daisy making her exit next week - how is she feeling about leaving Weatherfield? “I think it's very bittersweet for Daisy. Weatherfield has been her home for a while now and, early on, was giving her all the things she wanted – family, community, stability, people to love more than she perhaps loves herself, but it's also been the source of so much trauma for her. I think we've watched her slowly try to pick up the pieces since her stalking storyline, but she's ultimately realised she doesn't need to stay in a place that's caused her so much heartbreak. And it's just as well she's running far away to the other side of the planet as she's left a mountain of destruction and angry people in her wake!” Talking about how she is feeling, Charlotte added “As for me, I'm feeling really grateful for my years on the show and the people I've gotten to work with. Kate has been so supportive about me wanting to go back out into the audition circuit and very generous with Daisy’s exit story as she really wanted to do the character justice. And I can't tell you how much fun the other cast members and I had playing out this last hurrah.”

It's an emotional exit for Daisy, how was filming it? And what was your first day like? “I'm not a big crier. But let me tell you, I cried on and off for about four hours straight. My last scene was with the beautiful Rob Mallard, and we were meant to cry in the scene but we were both dry as a bone. As soon as they yelled our final "cut", we both burst into tears. Typical.” Before continuing “The Corrie gang made it so special for me. The canteen made me my favourite lunch - which made me cry. The art department drew me a beautiful card - which made me cry. I would look over to Channique or Julia or Sal during our last lunch break and see them crying - which made me cry. I think I was medically dehydrated by the end of the day. It's a very special building, and I have loved it. And it's just goodbye for now, not goodbye forever.”

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday's at 8pm on ITV with episodes available from 7am on ITVX.
