In a statement, Alexandra said: “Playing Emma, on the most iconic street there is, has been the best experience of my life.”
“Four years have gone so fast. Compared to other cast members I still feel like a newbie, which makes my decision to leave all the more difficult.”
“But I feel it’s the right time for me. I can’t thank everyone at Coronation Street enough for welcoming me and trusting me to tell so many wonderful and heartfelt stories. And for the friendships. When I see pink, I will always think of Emma.”

Coronation Street boss Iain McLeod said of Alexandra’s exit: “Emma has found herself in a massive pickle — one which will cause her to wave goodbye to the cobbles. At least for now.”
“Alexandra has been pure Corrie gold and I wish her all the best.”
