The list doesn't include one of my favourite exists on Coronation Street - that of Alma Baldwin.
Does it include your favourite exit - whether sad, bad or ridiculous? It doesn't have to be a death, it could be someone riding off into the sunset in a Streetcar.
What's your most memorable Coronation Street exit?

Although fairly recent I liked Lewis Archer's exit, duping Gail and leaving the DVD. As for NON exits whatever happened to Auntie Pam and Bill Webster, their 'exit' was just being never mentioned again.
I'd have to go for any of Martha, Val or Ernie. Deaths of the main long-running characters were so rare then that the shock value was greater. Now it's just humdrum.
Alma's will always stay with me, however I think my favourite will always be Elsie Tanner's second exit in 1984.
Ernie Bishop, Elsie Tanner, Hilda Ogden, Richard Hillman. I'm thinking of making a poll in the next few weeks asking the same question in my A-Z feature. :)
My perfect exit hasn't happened yet...still waiting for them to git shed of Tracy B. I would love for her to find real happiness with Rob and then her murder case is re-opened and it's back to the big house for her.
I would have to say Becky's departure. It was bittersweet, but she got her happy ending.
I do wish she'd come back though!
And Tracy can leave anytime...
Derek Wilton and his roadside heart attack next to the giant paper clip.
Has to be Becky, finding happiness in the end, but Lewis is a real close second - brilliant ending for him and Gail.
Best sad ending - death of Alma.
Best happy ending - Becky finding love and leaving.
Best "relief" ending - leaving of Lloyd's awful girlfriend "Cherrr-ul" with the revolting Chris.

Yes agree with Renee Roberts that was another good exit !
Stan Ogden. I'll never forget Hilda crying over his old glasses with the tape holding them together.
Claire Peacock, when she flees England with her kids. I never cared for the character much, but I loved how Graeme, Becky, and Steve put their combined street cred to work getting false passports and outsmarting the police. It was a good moment for Jason too, who drove the getaway car.
Yes, Claire's exit was a good one. And Natasha the hairdresser (remember her?) - telling people some home truths AND getting Gail sacked from the medical centre on her way out.
