In this week's Inside Soap magazine there's an article about how Coronation Street fans have rallied to Save Rita after the rumour appeared in The Sun saying she was going to be killed off.
Well, the rumour in The Sun remains just that for the moment - a rumour.
But, sadly, what can be confirmed today is that Rita will indeed be diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Inside Soap magazine say that this has been confirmed by soaps queen Sharon Marshall on ITV's This Morning show.
However, Corrie bosses are remaining tight-lipped on whether Rita is destined for The Kabin in the sky.
