Coronation Street Actress Quits
Actress Sue Cleaver is to leave Coronation Street after 25 years, but is keeping the “door open” to make a return to the soap.
Cleaver, 61, has played the outspoken and uncomplicated Eileen Grimshaw in the ITV show since 2000.
Cleaver said: “I’ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.
“The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures and live fearlessly.”
It is understood that Cleaver made the decision in the summer, after her appearance in the Sister Act musical tour. She returned to the stage for the first time in about three decades.
She will have an exit storyline which will air in the spring.
