Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver finishes filming final scenes
At the start of the year, news spread that Sue Cleaver is bowing out of Coronation Street as Eileen after 25 years.
The actress spoke out about her decision to leave the show on Loose Women, sharing: “I’ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.
“The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly.”
And now, it seems that she’s finally finished filming her last scenes on the soap, with co-star Tony Maudsley sharing a photo of himself, Ryan Thomas, Gareth Pierce and Sue Cleaver all in the Grimshaw home on Instagram, captioning the image: “Farewell Eyelash.”
The image also showed Sue’s co-stars giving her a round of applause, with flowers and gifts on the sofa for the actress as she wrapped up filming.
