Coronation Street icon killed off next week in heartbreaking scenes - a whopping 17 years on from soap debut
Coronation Street icon Julie Carp will be killed off next week in heartbreaking scenes. Actress Katy Cavanagh, 51, joined the ITV soap as the factory machinist back in 2008. The star's first stint on the Cobbles was from 2008 to 2015. She later rejoined the cast this year. But now 17 years since her debut, Katy's alter-ego Julie is being killed off next week after a battle with a rare form of cancer Sarcoma. Julie returned to Weatherfield back in February and shared the heartbreaking news of her diagnosis with her family, leaving sister Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) heartbroken. Over the past few months she has been spending time with her loved ones, including Eileen and her nephew Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce). According to The Sun, the scenes include Julie talking to a camera about how important it is to build loving relationships. Eileen is left reeling after her boyfriend George (Tony Maudsley) forgets that he promised to take her and Julie out for the day, she decides to take matters into her own hands. The sisters head off to sit by a lake together and they have a very special time together. But elsewhere George gets his hands on the video that Julie recorded, and it mentions that Eileen should stay clear of him. Things take a sad turn when Julie asks her sister to get them a drink from a nearby cafe. When Eileen returns to her sister, she starts to panic when she finds her lying in silence on her back and sadly fails to find a pulse. Earlier this year Todd accidentally found Julie's medicine that she was taking for her diagnosis. Julie told Todd: 'Sarcoma. That's what the cancer is called. It started in the soft tissue around my stomach.' She continued: 'It's stage four, it's spread to my liver and lungs. 'The chemo can slow it down but it can't cure it.' A devastated Todd asked her how long she had left, to which she said: 'If I'm lucky I'll see this summer.' Speaking about her return to Weatherfield, Katy said: 'It was really lovely to get the call. 'It is something I haven't thought about for many years. 'And I'm very fond of Julie, so it was a good feeling. 'It also felt good to be asked to be part of Eileen's departure story it is perfect to come and have some closure on Julie and Eileen. 'Sue and I go back to my very first job on The Cops so it is a full circle moment. It also attracted me as it was for a short set period of time and I could fit it in with the other things going on in my life.' Sue - who plays Eileen - announced she was leaving the ITV soap last year. Coronation Street isn't the only programme that Katy has appeared in over the years. She has appeared in Holby City, The Bill, Shameless and Blue Murder. Katy is married to Chris Jupe and the pair share three kids.
