I'm guessing that because of the interview in this New Zealand magazine, that they are so far behind the UK in terms of storylines that they're only just now seeing Tina being killed off. Can any New Zealand viewers confirm, please?
Michelle tells New Zealand's TV guide: "I was shocked. Initially we thought the door would be left open for her, which I think is every actor's ideal scenario. A few months later (after Keegan told her bosses she wanted to leave the Street), the producers come up with this amazing exit storyline for Tina – that she was going to be killed.
"My heart stopped when I found out. I do understand why she's being killed. It's an amazing storyline and it will affect so many characters on the Street for the next year."
Speaking about leaving Coronation Street, Michelle says: "I talked it over quite a lot with Kate Kelly (who played Becky McDonald), both before and after she left the show. She always said 'When the time is right you'll know'. That's what happened with me. The time felt right."
