Charlotte Jordan’s Bold Exit
Charlotte Jordan, beloved for her portrayal of Daisy Midgeley, has officially announced her departure from Coronation Street, marking the end of a remarkable chapter in the ITV soap’s history. The 29-year-old actress, whose performances captivated audiences and critics alike, shared that she’s stepping away to embrace new opportunities.
Having won the coveted Best Dramatic Performance award at the 2023 British Soap Awards, Jordan’s time on the cobbles will be remembered for her gripping storylines. From Daisy’s involvement in a controversial multi-level marketing scheme to the intense acid attack plotline, her compelling performances have cemented her legacy as one of the show’s standout stars.
Reflecting on her journey, Jordan said, “I’ll forever treasure my time on Coronation Street. It’s been an incredible privilege to be part of such an iconic series and work alongside colleagues who have taught me so much.”
Jordan isn’t the only familiar face bidding farewell. Colson Smith (Craig Tinker), Sue Cleaver (Eileen Grimshaw), and Luca Toolan (Mason Radcliffe) have also announced their exits, fueling speculation about a wave of changes on the long-running soap. Additionally, rumors suggest Sue Devaney’s character Debbie Webster might face an uncertain fate.
Behind the scenes, Coronation Street is undergoing significant shifts. Former Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks stepped into a creative leadership role in April 2024, bringing fresh ideas to the table while navigating budget challenges that have impacted both Coronation Street and Emmerdale. Brooks has vowed to maintain the show’s rich legacy while adapting to the evolving television landscape.
According to a production insider, Jordan’s exit has been in the works for some time. “She informed the team of her decision last April, allowing plenty of time to craft an unforgettable farewell storyline,” the source revealed. Fans can anticipate Daisy’s final moments on screen through early summer.
As Coronation Street embarks on a transitional phase, Jordan’s departure signifies the end of an era for the soap. Yet, it also heralds exciting new horizons for one of its brightest talents as she steps into the next stage of her career.
