A Coronation Street favourite has sensationally dropped the bombshell that she’s leaving the cobbles, after posting a cheeky backstage pic with her co-star.

The 18 -year -old starlet first graced our screens in June 2023 and quickly became a fan favourite as she helped Max get over his ex, Lauren Bolton.

Actress Luana Santos, who’s become a familiar face on the iconic Manchester soap as Max Turner’s latest love interest Sabrina Adetiba, took to Instagram to announce her departure in a heartfelt message, revealing she’s already wrapped up her final scenes.

In a true social media farewell, Luana shared a sneaky behind-the-scenes selfie with fellow Corrie actor Jack Carroll, who plays Bobby Crawford, hinting at new beginnings beyond the drama-filled streets of Weatherfield.

Looking fab in a cream zip-up cardigan and matching tee, paired with camo trousers and silver hoop earrings, Luana wrote: “Last day with Corrie… thanks for everything @coronationstreet. Drama school here I come,” reports the Mirror.

But fans are left wondering if Jack’s character Bobby might be tied to her dramatic exit plot but she’s keeping her cards close to her chest about how her storyline will wrap up. The Daily Mirror has contacted ITV for the juicy details.

The sudden departure of actress Sabrina has been shrouded in mystery after she became embroiled in the gruelling storyline of Lauren Bolton. Lauren had been terrorised by Joel Deering, with Joel’s monstrous behaviour coming to light in Monday’s episode.

Calum Lill, playing a duty solicitor since 2023, is set to say goodbye himself later this year. However, another unexpected exit has tossed the soap into chaos. Veteran actor Sean Wilson was summoned back to the big time by the production team, all lined up to feature in Helen Worth’s departure story, who’s marked five decades as Gail Platt. Yet, his comeback swiftly turned sour after a meeting saw his scenes revised dramatically.

His sudden exit left co-stars in shock, and while reasons were initially kept under wraps, execs later clarified it was due to personal circumstances.
