Popular star is the latest in a growing list of cast members leaving ITV series later this year. Coronation Street‘s cast exodus is continuing, with a fifth star set to leave amid a slew of departures. The ITV soap has been allegedly hit by a cash crisis, which sources are attributing to the many exits set to rock the soap in 2025.

The latest star to announce their exit is Charlotte Jordan, who plays popular Rovers Return barmaid Daisy Midgeley. Unlike PC Craig Tinker star Colson Smith, who revealed earlier this week he had been dropped by bosses, Jordan left on her own accord. She said on Tuesday (7 January): “My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish.
“After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.”. The actor, who won a British Soap Award for the role in 2023, added: “It’s been a privilege to be part of a wonderful institution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.”.
She won the prize for Best Dramatic Performance after a storyline that saw her character become the victim of a wedding day acid attack. Jordan is the latest in a growing list of Corrie stars to either quit or be axed. In the last few weeks, the series, which began in 1960, has seen big changes in front of the cameras following the departure of Gail Platt actor Helen Worth and Luca Toolan, whose character Mason Radcliffe was killed off in heartbreaking scenes that aired on Monday (6 January).
