In the wake of the devastating news that we're going to lose beloved Hayley Cropper by the end of the year, let me start the avalanche of posts about the character's departure.
Hayley has always been a delight and a character whose dignity was to be admired. Her smile and optimism will stay in my heart. There will be a Hayley shaped hole in the show for a long time to come. More about my thoughts over here.

I so agree with you, Tvor. I'm absolutely gutted that she is leaving; the character of Hayley and her portrayal by Julie H always drags Corrie out of the mire even when Car-Crash Corrie plumbs even greater depths. Sorry for the mixed metaphors there but I am too upset to think straight.

Oh God, I can't even begin to think about it....
