Actress Maureen Lipman shares thoughts on leaving Coronation Street after plans are finalized.
Maureen Lipman, the talented actress known for her role as Evelyn Plummer on the popular ITV soap, has exciting news for fans. In an interview on Alan Titchmarsh's Love Your Weekend show earlier this year, Maureen confirmed that she has signed a contract to continue her role on Coronation Street for another year.

When asked about her future on the show, Maureen reassured fans that she's not going anywhere just yet. "I have been signed up to do another year, yes," she shared with a smile. "It's good for you, it keeps you on your toes. My goodness me."

In addition to discussing her role on Coronation Street, Maureen also touched on her love for acting in general. "I don't get bored with this business," she said. "And I don't suppose you do either," she added, with Alan enthusiastically agreeing and labeling the industry as "stimulating."

Maureen has been a regular on the cobbles since 2018, but she's no stranger to the show. In 2002, she played Rovers Return relief manager Lilian Spencer before returning in 2018 as the feisty and lovable Evelyn. Since then, her character has become a fan-favorite and has been involved in various storylines, including reconnecting with her estranged grandson and forming a friendship with Roy Cropper.

The news of Maureen staying on the show will surely come as a relief to fans, especially after it was announced earlier this year that she would be taking a break to star in a pantomime. A spokesperson for Coronation Street has confirmed that Maureen will be taking a sabbatical towards the end of the year, but reassured fans that she will return to the cobbles in 2025.

Maureen's love for Coronation Street runs deep, as she was previously married to the late Jack Rosenthal, a screenwriter who wrote over 130 episodes of the show in its early years. And in September, she announced her engagement to her partner, David Turner.
