The paper says that Liz will finish her shift, lovingly place the bar towels over the beer pumps and slowly put on her coat. Viewers will see Liz walk slowly to the door and pause for a final time before flicking off the light.
Liz runs out on Steve to start a new life in Spain after failing to buy the Rovers for herself. And she goes without saying goodbye to ex-husband Jim McDonald - who is jailed for 20 years for a failed bid to rob a bank to get money for the pub. The ex-squaddie gets such a long stretch due to his conviction for drug-dealer Jez Quigley's murder in 2000. He begs Liz to wait for him. She agrees, but after leaving the jail she secretly quits the country.
Aw... no... I was hoping for a big fat Liz and Jim reunion in which they both ride off into the Salford sunset together, so I was.
