Coronation Street’s Charlotte Jordan quits soap after 4 years

In a surprising turn of events, Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan, best known for portraying the popular character Daisy Midgeley, has announced her departure from the long-running soap after a successful four-year stint. The actress, who joined the show in November 2020 as Jenny Connor’s stepdaughter, confirmed her exit in an emotional statement, sharing her thoughts with The Mirror.

“My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish,” Charlotte said. “After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities. It’s been a privilege to be part of a wonderful institution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.” Her heartfelt message signals the end of an era for the beloved barmaid, whose storylines have captivated audiences.

During her time on the soap, Charlotte’s portrayal of Daisy has been met with widespread praise, and she has become a fan-favorite character at the Rovers Return. Her role has been central to some of the show’s most memorable and dramatic moments, including a chilling acid attack storyline in 2023. Daisy was horrifically attacked by Justin Rutherford (Andrew Still) on her wedding day, a harrowing event that earned Charlotte a British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance.

Currently, Daisy is involved in a tense pregnancy storyline, leaving fans on edge as the barmaid is caught between two potential fathers: Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) and Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard). The gripping plotline adds an extra layer of intrigue and drama as Charlotte’s departure looms, leaving fans wondering how the story will be resolved.

Charlotte’s exit follows a series of high-profile departures from Coronation Street, marking the end of an era for several beloved characters. Colson Smith, who has portrayed Craig Tinker for 14 years, recently announced his departure from the show. The actor revealed that Craig’s time on the cobbles will conclude in 2025, and he expressed his deep appreciation for his role. “I’ve loved every single second of my 14-year stay as a resident on the GREATEST street in the world,” Colson shared in a social media post, reflecting on his time with the soap.

January also saw the departure of Coronation Street legend Sue Cleaver, who has been part of the show for an impressive 25 years as Eileen Grimshaw. Sue revealed that she was ready to embrace change and explore new opportunities, with her final scenes set to air in the spring.

In addition, actor Luca Toolan’s character Mason Radcliffe met a tragic end in recent episodes. Mason, who had been on the soap for a year, was fatally stabbed by his brothers, Matty and Logan, after they discovered he had assisted the police in gathering evidence that linked them to the murder of DS Lisa Swain’s wife, Becky. His death marks the conclusion of another dramatic storyline for Coronation Street fans.

With multiple cast departures and ongoing storylines reaching their emotional peaks, Coronation Street fans are left wondering what the future holds for the iconic soap. Charlotte Jordan’s exit, in particular, has raised anticipation around Daisy’s fate and how her dramatic storyline will unfold in the weeks ahead. As more beloved stars bid farewell to the cobbles, it’s clear that the show is preparing for another significant shift in its evolving narrative.
