Faye Windass to leave Coronation Street?
Ellie’s new look comes amidst a tumultuous time for her character on Corrie, Faye Windass. Faye has found herself conflicted as fiancee Craig Tinker has clashed with the father of her daughter, Jackson.
Last week’s episodes saw Craig propose to Faye just as Jackson asked Faye to leave Weatherfield with him. Faye accepted Craig’s proposal, to much anger and resentment from Jackson. Faye and Jackson had kissed only hours before she agreed to marry Craig.
Later, a drunk and belligerent Jackson started a fight with Craig in the Rovers. Craig then escorted his drunken attacker down to the police station.
However, with Ellie set to leave the soap after 12 years, all may not be as cut-and-dry as it appears to be. Will Faye and Jackson be exiting Weatherfield together – leaving Craig heartbroken, in the dust?
