Street Star Quits

Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien is to leave Weatherfield once her current contract ends.

The 23-year-old actress plays Sarah-Louise Platt on the soap.

Her contract, will expire in August, but she will be on screen until Christmas.

Corrie script writers are said to be working on a dramatic exit, with the door thought to be left open for a possible return.

Tina said, "This has been an extremely difficult decision to make. I love playing Sarah and have had an amazing seven-and-a-half years in Coronation Street. But I feel that the time has come to see what else is out there for me as an actress."

"I have had some fantastic storylines in the show and I will always be grateful for the opportunities I have had to work with the fantastic actors, producers, writers, storyliners, directors and crew involved in making Coronation Street."

"I will really miss everyone but am excited about what the future holds."
