A major shake-up is heading for Coronation Street fans as Daisy Midgeley’s journey comes to a dramatic end. After four unforgettable years on the cobbles, Daisy’s departure won’t be a quiet one — she’s set to leave a trail of broken hearts, shattered friendships, and bitter betrayals behind.
Charlotte Jordan, who plays Daisy, recently opened up about her character’s bittersweet exit. Although Weatherfield has been a place of personal growth for Daisy — giving her family, love, and a sense of belonging — it has also been the setting for some of her deepest traumas, particularly following her horrifying stalking ordeal. Over time, Daisy has realized that staying in Weatherfield only prolongs her pain. Now, she’s ready to start over — far, far away — but not before causing a tidal wave of devastation.
One of the most heartbreaking casualties of Daisy’s departure will be her once-close bond with Jenny Connor. Jenny, who served as a surrogate mother and mentor to Daisy, will be left crushed and furious after Daisy’s ultimate betrayal. The trust and love that once defined their relationship have eroded under mounting resentment. Daisy, feeling cornered and wounded by Jenny’s past harsh words — particularly painful remarks about Daisy’s miscarriage and her late brother — sees no choice but to burn the bridge behind her.
Charlotte Jordan reflected on this rift, comparing it to Jenny’s own rocky beginnings with Rita, suggesting that Daisy’s betrayal is almost poetic justice. While the full extent of Daisy’s actions remains under wraps, it’s clear that it will have long-lasting effects on Jenny, who will struggle to pick up the pieces.
But Jenny isn’t the only one Daisy will leave heartbroken. Fans of Daisy and Daniel Osbourne’s love story will be bracing themselves for a sad and emotional goodbye. Though Daisy and Daniel shared genuine love, Charlotte hints that they will forever remain each other’s “what if” — a tragic romance that might have been.
Despite their deep connection, Daisy knows that Daniel, with his strong moral compass, would never stand by her once he finds out about her betrayal of Jenny. Anticipating his inevitable disapproval, Daisy chooses to sever ties before he can see the worst side of her. Their parting promises to be tender but final, leaving viewers mourning what could have been a beautiful future together.
Behind the scenes, Charlotte revealed that emotions ran even higher than on screen. Filming her final scenes alongside Rob Mallard, who plays Daniel, was an intensely emotional experience. Although the script required them to stay composed, once the cameras stopped rolling, Charlotte and Rob broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the end of an era.
Charlotte also shared heartfelt memories of her last day on set — from the canteen preparing her favorite lunch to the art department crafting a personalized farewell card. Seeing her co-stars tear up throughout the day only made her more emotional. By the end of filming, Charlotte joked that she was probably medically dehydrated from crying so much.
Despite the intensity of her farewell, Charlotte remains optimistic. She emphasized that this is a “goodbye for now,” not a goodbye forever. There’s always the chance that Daisy could one day return to Weatherfield — but given the mountain of wreckage she’s leaving behind, it might be best for her to stay away for a while.
As Daisy jets off to the other side of the world, her exit will leave lasting scars across Coronation Street. Jenny will struggle with feelings of betrayal and heartbreak, Daniel will be haunted by the love he lost, and the community will feel the ripple effects of Daisy’s final decisions for a long time to come.
In true soap opera fashion, Daisy’s departure promises powerful emotional fallout, shocking betrayals, and unfinished business that will keep viewers gripped long after she’s gone. One thing is certain — Daisy Midgeley may be leaving Weatherfield, but she’ll never be forgotten.
