Coronation Street Fans Speculate Actress Olivia Frances Brown Has Already Left ITV Soap
Coronation Street enthusiasts are buzzing with speculation that actress Olivia Frances Brown may have subtly revealed her exit from the long-running ITV soap. Brown made her debut on the show earlier this year during the dramatic Corriedale crossover event, introducing her character Jodie to the Weatherfield community.
Jodie's Tumultuous Introduction and Mysterious Role
During her initial appearance, Jodie was seen in a tense situation, tied up in the back of a van, which immediately captured viewers' attention. It was later uncovered that she is the long-lost sister of Shona Platt, portrayed by Julia Goulding. Since then, Jodie has integrated into her sister's life, moving in with Shona and her husband David, but not without raising suspicions among fans.
Many viewers believe something is amiss, with theories suggesting Jodie might be attempting to take control of her sister's life. Adding to the intrigue, a recent flashforward scene hinted that Jodie could be a potential murder victim, with these scenes scheduled to air in April, heightening anticipation and speculation about her fate.
Instagram Post Sparks Departure Theories
The speculation intensified after Olivia Frances Brown shared a post on Instagram. In her message, she reflected on her time on the cobbles, stating, "Came to the cobbles looking for closure and maybe a bit of chaos. How are we all liking Jodie? Would you trust her? Thank you for all the kind messages. I've loved every second of bringing her to life!"
Fans were quick to interpret this as a possible farewell, with one commenting, "I don't like that this is giving last day of filming, need Jodie to STAY." Another fan noted, "I think she's talking in past tense!" while a third speculated, "She's either accidentally let slip who is the body or she's gonna be leaving Weatherfield that day either way!"
Other Characters Facing Uncertain Futures
Jodie is not the only character whose future on the show is in question. According to reports from the Mirror, other characters potentially facing departure include:
- Carl Webster, played by Jonathan Howard
- Maggie Driscoll, portrayed by Pauline McLynn
- Theo Silverton, acted by James Cartwright
- Megan Walsh, played by Beth Nixon
This adds to the suspense surrounding the upcoming plot developments in Coronation Street, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the April broadcasts to see how these storylines unfold.
