Coronation Street fans 'in tears' as Daisy Midgeley leaves in soap's most 'iconic exit'
Coronation Street fans have been left in tears as Daisy Midgeley said goodbye to the cobbles in an 'iconic' exit - with fans hailing it as one of the soaps best exits in a while
Coronation Street fans were left in tears after Friday night's episode, as the soap said goodbye to Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) after five years on the cobbles.
Daisy's exit came just as she was taking revenge on stepmother Jenny Connor, Sally's character, over some money she had gained from shares given to her by Daisy's dad. She kept the £60k windfall from Daisy at a time that they were both in debt to Carla Connor, sparking a revenge plan.
During tonight's episode, Jenny was seen trying to persuade Daisy to say, as she responded: "It's only Brighton, to start with anyway." Daisy then went on to say her emotional goodbyes to Ryan Connor and Bertie and Daniel Osbourne.
Towards the end of the episode, Jenny and Christina came to the realisation that Daisy had left Weatherfield with Jenny's money that she thought she was investing in catfisher Dom. "I didn't think she had it in her," her mother Christina laughed.
Jenny was then seen in tears running after the taxi, as she rang Daisy in tears screaming: "I should report you to the police! No one would blame me!"
Daisy's voice was then heard reading a letter to some of the residents, including Bernie and Daniel as she bought them tickets to Disneyland Paris, as the song Movin' On Up was heard playing in the background.
The character was then seen checking flights from Manchester to Bali at the back of the taxi, as she put her sunglasses on, telling the driver to "turn it up," as fans hailed the exit "iconic".
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, after watching the show, one fan penned: "but let's actually acknowledge that this is the best exit corrie has done in a longgg time!! gorgeous episode with such emotive scenes, daisy will be missed for sure #corrie," while a second agreed: "Need Daisy to have her own spin off show. Iconic final scene from ar diva… you don't realise what you have till it's gone."
"Daisy Midgeley, what an iconic exit!! Still fuming they got rid of her," exclaimed a third fan, while another said: "omg that Daisy exit was actually so sooo good, especially that closing scene to Primal Scream Movin' On Up - obsessed #Corrie."
A fifth emotional fan simply wrote: "I love you Daisy Midgeley," along with a crying emoji.
However, fans may be able to wipe their tears soon, as Charlotte revealed the door had been left open for her. She hinted she could be back, suggesting it wasn't a "forever" farewell.
She said: "It's a very special building, and I have loved it. And it's just goodbye for now, not goodbye forever." Charlotte also talked about her final day on set and filming her last ever scenes.

She was joined by a plethora of famous faces including football legend Jamie Carragher and TV favourites such as Linda Robson, Dr Ranj, Real Housewives of Cheshire stars Seema Malhotra and Leanne Brown, and Nermina Pieters-Mekic. Fashion guru and DJ Gok Wan led the entertainment, with UK Garage stars Lisa Maffia and Romeo, of So Solid Crew, delivering a roof-raising performance.

EastEnders boss leaves 'hidden message' to fans in emotional final episode
Chris Clenshaw's final EastEnders episode as Executive Producer aired tonight - with fans thinking he sent a 'hidden message' to them through Kat and Alfie's emotional chat It was the end of an era in EastEnders tonight, as Chris Clenshaw's final episode as Executive Producer aired. Chris has been leading the BBC soap since 2022, and announced he'd be stepping down earlier this year. During his time as producer, Chris created many bold and storylines that will go down in the show's history, including The Six flashforward whodunit, and the return of Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins). It was a memorable final episode for Chris, as iconic couple Kat and Alfie tied the knot for the third time - despite Kat calling the wedding off earlier in the week. At the end of the episode, the newlyweds took a moment to themselves, as they reflected on their relationship over the years. However, fans believed Chris added a hidden message from himself in the couple's conversation. As the couple reflected on the day on the open top bus, Kat said: "What a mad day." Alfie then responded: "Yeah. Well it's been a mad few years hasn't it?" to which Kat responded: "Oh, I'm knackered. I wouldn't change a thing." Fans then took to X, formerly known as Twitter to suspect it was a message from Chris. "This is deffo a message from Chris Clenshaw as it's his final episode under executive producer #eastenders," said one, while another penned: "So cute!" Previously speaking on his decision to step down earlier this year, Chris said: "It has been the honour of my life to work on the show. "I made the tough decision that I would step down after the 40th anniversary many months ago – to keep EastEnders creatively refreshed as it's a show that needs to constantly evolve. After what will be three years at the helm and leading the team through its milestone celebrations, the time feels right that I hand over the keys to The Queen Vic." He then went on to say how "grateful and proud" he was to the cast and crew. Ben Wadey has taken over the role as Executive Producer, with his first episode set to air on Monday (June 16). Teasing a huge moment to come, Ben said: 'Next week marks the start of something big in Walford that we hope will get everyone talking, and it's only just the beginning. We've got twists, shocks, and plenty of drama lined up for a summer you don't want to miss.'
