Coronation Street Spoilers – Actress Shuts Door On Soap Forever
Coronation Street spoilers reveal that the actress spoke to Sunday Express magazine. She explained her decision to never return to the soap.
“It was a massive decision for me to make, but I believe I did it for the right reasons. I felt Liz had run her course. I’d hate to cheat any fans… I felt like she’d lost her way. Sadly, you can’t decide your own storylines and since I’m not going to film an exit they could even kill me off-screen. If they do I’ll accept it with grace. I’ve thought long and hard about this and I know that this time I’ve shut the door forever.”

Liz McDonald was a fan-favorite character and people love the actress, as well. So, this is very sad news but we totally understand and respect her decision. We wish her the very best and as for if Liz’s absence is explained in the future, we will just have to keep watching the ITV soap opera to find out how that is handled.
