Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw on Coronation Street is leaving the soap after 25 years.
In a statement Sue said:
“I’ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street. The door is still firmly open but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures and live fearlessly.”
Kate Brooks, the soap’s new producer, said the team was “sad” to say goodbye to the iconic actor and her character Eileen Grimshaw.
“Over the past 25 years, Eileen Grimshaw has been at the heart of some of the most memorable and iconic Corrie storylines, and her onscreen rivalry with Gail Platt will undoubtedly go down in Corrie folklore.”
“There’s certainly no one quite like Eileen, and her character will be hugely missed on the Cobbles. We wish Sue all the very best as she embarks on her next exciting chapter.”

Craig and daisy are going too. I'll miss daisy.
So sad, I'll miss Sue and Eileen. Her absence will be felt. Such a strong character.
I expected Sue to leave years ago after qualifying as a counsellor. She's well out of Corrie these days.
