What will Michelle Connor’s exit storyline be?
Again not much is known about how Michelle will leave the cobbles at this stage, but we’re pretty sure she won’t be exiting in a coffin.
Kym appeared on Loose Women shortly after her exit was revealed and explained it would be more of a break than a permanent goodbye.
She told the panel: “I've said I'm taking a break, so yeah. I think it's just a break for me. Being there for 13 years without taking anytime away..."
"It has flown by and I've had such a wonderful time on that show. I've learnt so much and I've made friends for life.
"But it's time for me to take a little break. I just want to scratch a few itches."
"There were reports that I was going to appear in the next series of Strictly or I'm A Celeb ... as wonderful as those shows are, I'm not leaving Corrie after thirteen years to do reality TV."
