You may remember those rumours that were floating around last month about Barbara Knox supposedly leaving Coronation Street. They were debunked as the usual slow-news-day type of thing that comes up every now and then.Today, the Mirror has a piece that may explain where those other rumours came from. Barbara Knox is apparently going to take some time off for an unspecified health issue but *will* be back. She'll be off screen for approximately six weeks and her absence will be explained. (I imagine Mavis will be getting another visit!)
There's a quote, albeit by an unspecified "source" that says: "Barbara felt bad that she had to go, but she explained it was in no way a serious health issue and that she'd be back. We had no option but to rewrite storylines and also shoot a scene in the Rovers Return to explain why should wouldn't be around for a while."
