‘Coronation Street’ actress Alison King has revealed she’s filmed her final scenes as Carla Connor.
After 10 years in the ‘Corrie’ role, her co-stars revealed on Twitter on Thursday that it was her final day on set, with Ryan Thomas - who announced last year he was also stepping down from his role as Jason Grimshaw - among the first to wish her luck as she bids farewell to the cobbles.
Sharing a photo of the two of them on Instagram, he wrote: “My bestie Ali King leaves today, a new start a new beginning wishing all the luck in the world and 3 weeks time I'll be joining her.”
Similarly, Antony Cotton expressed his sadness at waving off one of his colleagues, tweeting: “Weatherfield won't be the same without her. I am bereft.”
Alison’s ‘Corrie’ departure has been a long time coming, as she first announced she was leaving the ITV soap just under a year ago.
Reports at the time suggested that she was only taking a temporary break, but she set the record straight in January, insisting: “It's been put out there that I'm taking a sabbatical, but I'm not. They’ve very graciously left the doors open for me to come back if I want to. And I haven't ruled that out. But this is a new chapter for me.
Alison’s ‘Corrie’ departure is to air later this year, with this summer’s shocking storylines revolving around other members of the Underworld factory.
