It was a bittersweet farewell for Daisy Midgeley, portrayed by Charlotte Jordan, as she bid adieu to Weatherfield earlier this month. Making her debut as the Rovers’ barmaid in 2020, Daisy quickly captured the hearts of soap fans. However, her final moments on Coronation Street were nothing short of dramatic. Daisy spilled the beans to the police about her mother Christina Boyd’s (Amy Robbins) elaborate scheme to con Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) out of money – a scheme that Daisy was initially part of. But, as the plot thickened, it was revealed that Daisy had taken the money for herself before jetting off to start a new life under the sun. Fans couldn’t help but speculate that Daisy’s tropical getaway was funded by Jenny’s missing cash as Charlotte shared glimpses of her adventures in Sint Maarten on social media.
Living it up in the sunshine, Charlotte posted a series of photos on Instagram, showcasing her “sensational holiday hair” and a “cute car” (though she admitted to being a “terrible driver”). Followers were quick to chime in with their thoughts, with one jokingly pointing out, “So that’s how you’re spending Jenny’s money. Have a wonderful time.” Another fan chimed in, expressing how much they missed Charlotte’s presence on the cobbles: “You look as gorgeous as ever, and we are all definitely missing you in Corrie.” Despite Daisy’s exit being impactful, Charlotte hinted at a possible return in the future. The door was left open for Daisy to make a comeback, leaving fans hopeful for her return to Weatherfield.
In a heartfelt message to her supporters, Charlotte expressed her gratitude for the love and support she received during her time on Coronation Street. She acknowledged the special place the soap held in her heart, emphasizing that it was a temporary goodbye rather than a permanent farewell. Charlotte’s departure from the show was met with mixed emotions from fans, who eagerly await her upcoming projects. During an appearance on This Morning, Charlotte teased her future endeavors, hinting at exciting opportunities on the horizon. “I do feel excited; it’s a fresh start,” she shared. “I feel like I’ve done a lot of soapy things. I’ve done the checklist. [Coronation Street] has been really good to me, and it just feels like time for a new beginning.” While Charlotte couldn’t divulge too many details, she did reveal that she would be joining the cast of The Archers, a popular British radio soap opera broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her new role, Charlotte hinted that her character would certainly shake things up in the fictional world of Ambridge.
As fans eagerly anticipate Charlotte’s next chapter in the world of radio drama, her departure from Coronation Street marks the end of an era for Daisy Midgeley. Though her exit was met with sadness, viewers can’t help but look forward to what the future holds for the talented actress. With new adventures on the horizon, Charlotte’s journey continues to unfold, leaving a lasting impact on fans and fellow soap enthusiasts alike.
