She has played the role of Evelyn Plummer since September 2018 when she made a bombshell entrance on Coronation Street.
The character was introduced as the grandmother of Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) when Dame Maureen made her full-time debut.
However, the legendary actress exclusively told The Sun that she’s taking a step back from the cobbles to “enjoy life.”
Now, the characters exit has been confirmed as she starts to become disillusioned with life in Weatherfield.
She will complain to her best pal Roy (David Neilson) that her world lacks purpose.
He will then suggest that she should study for a law degree.
This was after Steve agreed to pay Evelyn the £325 that she insisted he owed her.
Previously, Alya invited Evelyn to a criminal law lecture at the Chariot Street hotel.
When she got to the meet and greet table at the event, Evelyn was so keen to attend that she stole someone else’s name badge.
Inspired by all her experiences, she then goes about filling in an online form to apply for university back at number nine.

She then tells her grandson Tyrone that she has gone ahead with the application to read law at an educational institution.
But when she receives a text that invites her for an interview, Evelyn is thrown into a complete panic.
However, when she arrives at the university for her grilling, she will be met with a huge surprise.
The interviewer is none other than Marjorie Tavistock, the very same person that she impersonated at the Chariot Square law lecture.
Is her dream over or will she be able to attend university?
