Next week marks the end of an era on Coronation Street, as fan-favorite Daisy Midgeley takes her final bow — and leaves behind a trail of heartbreak, unfinished goodbyes, and a Weatherfield that may never feel quite the same again.

Portrayed by the luminous Charlotte Jordan since 2020, Daisy burst onto the cobbles like a cocktail of chaos and charm. As the brash, complicated stepdaughter of Jenny Connor, she was instantly divisive — but quickly evolved into one of the most compelling characters the soap has seen in years. And now, five years on, her journey is coming to a bittersweet, tear-soaked conclusion.

The week commencing April 28 will be Daisy’s last in Weatherfield. But don’t expect a quiet goodbye. Her exit comes on the back of one of the most emotionally harrowing periods of her life. Earlier this year, Daisy suffered the unimaginable — the tragic loss of her baby. And as if grief weren’t enough, her strained relationship with Jenny reached a breaking point. Desperate, hurting, and perhaps vengeful, Daisy manipulated her estranged mother, Christina, into a twisted scheme to catfish Jenny.

It was Daisy at her most desperate — full of pain, secrets, and dangerous emotional logic. But it was also Daisy at her most human.

For Charlotte Jordan, this final chapter is “bittersweet.” In a newly released interview, the actress opened up about what the character — and her exit — means to her. “Weatherfield gave Daisy everything she thought she wanted,” Charlotte shared. “Family, community, stability… people to love more than she perhaps loves herself. But it also gave her trauma. So much trauma.”

And the trauma wasn’t just fictional. For Charlotte, saying goodbye to Coronation Street was a deeply emotional experience. Her final day on set saw tears flowing from cast and crew alike — a testament to the bond she’d built over the years. “I’m not a big crier,” she confessed. “But I cried on and off for four hours straight.”

Her final scene was filmed alongside Rob Mallard, who plays Daniel Osbourne — the on-again, off-again love of Daisy’s life. Ironically, though their characters were scripted to cry, both Charlotte and Rob were dry-eyed… until the final “cut.” Then, the tears came freely. “Typical,” she laughed through the emotion.

Even behind the scenes, Daisy’s departure was treated like royalty. The canteen prepared her favorite lunch (cue more tears), the art department gave her a handmade card (more tears), and she couldn’t glance at her co-stars Channique Sterling-Brown (Dee-Dee), Julia Goulding (Shona), or Sally Ann Matthews (Jenny) without another round of weeping. “I think I was medically dehydrated by the end of the day,” Charlotte joked.

Daisy’s exit, according to insiders, is being given the weight and complexity it deserves. Producer Kate Brooks ensured that Charlotte’s departure was not only supportive professionally, but artistically meaningful. “She really wanted to do Daisy justice,” Charlotte said. And the result? A goodbye filled with nuance, catharsis, and, possibly, a thread of hope.

While full details of Daisy’s departure are still under wraps, fans can expect an emotionally charged series of final scenes — a mix of self-reflection, fractured relationships, and possibly one last attempt to make peace. Whether she finds closure with Jenny, reconciliation with Daniel, or just the courage to walk away — Daisy won’t go quietly.

And she won’t be forgotten.

From her earliest days stirring up drama in the Rovers Return to fronting some of Corrie’s darkest and most impactful storylines — including the unforgettable acid attack plot, Daisy grew from a self-absorbed attention-seeker into a layered, complex woman. Strong, fragile, flawed, and deeply loyal beneath her sharp tongue, she’s left a mark on every character she touched — and on the hearts of millions of viewers.

Social media is already in mourning. Fans have flooded comment sections with messages of heartbreak and praise, calling Daisy one of Corrie’s best-written and best-acted characters in years. Some even compared her to the golden era icons like Elsie Tanner, noting how Charlotte Jordan brought old-school depth with a modern twist.

But all is not lost. In a final twist, Charlotte left the door tantalizingly open for a return. “It’s just goodbye for now,” she said cryptically, “not goodbye forever.”

So as we brace ourselves for the emotional wrecking ball that is Daisy’s last week, one thing is certain: Whether she’s jetting off to rebuild her life or simply walking away from the wreckage, Daisy Midgeley is leaving on her terms. Messy, misunderstood, and unforgettable to the very end.

And when that final scene fades to black, one question will echo in every fan’s heart:

Will Weatherfield ever feel like home again without her?
