A POPULAR Coronation Street star has sparked fears she’s QUITTING the cobbles after fans spotted a worrying clue.

This actress has been on the soap since 2016 and has been a key member of the cast ever since.

Julia Goulding, 39, who plays Shona Platt in the ITV soap, has concerned fans with her latest Instagram post.

It came after the soap star shared her new head shot, which saw her posing for a pro picture.

Actors have this type of professional photograph done, so that their agents can send it to casting directors when they are looking for their next acting gig.

With this in mind, fans took to the comments to share their worry this was a sign Julia is leaving Corrie.

Since the beginning of the year a number of the soap’s cast have either quit or been axed.

One fan wrote: “Please don’t be leaving Corrie!”

Another said: “Whenever an actor gets new headshots it’s a sign that they are leaving their current role. Will be sad to see Shona leave Corrie.”

This one added: “You better not be leaving Julia!”

‘FURIOUS’ JULIA

Earlier this year, Julia admitted she was “furious and devastated” when it was revealed two of her co-stars were leaving Corrie.

Speaking to press, she shared her upset about on-screen stepson Paddy Bever’s departure.

It was revealed in January how the actor was bowing out as Max Turner after four years.

Julia said: “I love Paddy so much and I could actually be his mother, it’s ridiculous.”

Continuing, she added: “He’s got a very bright future ahead of him and I would love to see him come back at some point, but I don’t know where his life is going to take him.

“Really sad to lose him.”

In addition, Julia also shared her sadness over Charlotte Jordan leaving Corrie.

Julia shared: “And Charlie, don’t even get me started. I’m furious with her for leaving. I’m losing all of my mates.”
