After four years on Coronation Street playing Emma Brooker, Alexandra Mardell is leaving the show later this year.
In a public statement, she says:
"Playing Emma, on the most iconic series there is, has been the best experience of my life. 4 years has gone so fast. Compared to other cast members, I still feel like a newbie which makes my decision to leaev all the more difficult. But now is the right time as a number of exciting opportunities beckon. Although who knows, maybe the street hasn't seen the last of Emma Brooker. I can't thank everyone at Coronation Street enough for welcoming me and trusting me to tell so many wonderful and heartfelt stories. And of course for the friendships with the amazing fans. When I see pink, I will always think of Emma."
