Corrie's departing star Emma Brooker star all smiles amid final scenes while cosying up to Ted's grandson

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Coronation Street star Alexandra Mardell has been spotted filming scenes that could prove a fan theory right.

It comes ahead of the actress leaving the soap in April.

It was announced last week that Alexandra will be leaving Corrie and waving goodbye to her character Emma Brooker.

The bubbly character made her debut in Weatherfield in 2018 as an apprentice hairdresser at Audrey Roberts' salon.

But after four years, Alexandra has made the decision to leave the cobbles.

Corrie boss Iain MacLeod hinted it may not be a permanent exit in his statement following the news.

He said: "Big-hearted Emma has found herself in a massive pickle - one which will ultimately cause her to wave goodbye to the cobbles.

"At least for now…"

And spoiler pictures may mean Emma leaves with a new love interest.

Alexandra, 28, has been snapped filming alongside Jordan Ford Silver who first appeared in the soap last month as Ted's grandson.

Ted is the elderly gentleman who was knocked over while Emma was in the car and Faye Windass was at the wheel.

While Ted got back up from the knock and invited the girls back to his home for a brew, they later found him dead in his armchair.

Faye and Emma decided to keep quiet until a police investigation was launched into his death.

Last month things took a turn when Faye confessed everything to boyfriend, and police officer, Craig Tinker after he showed her an e-fit of someone they're looking to talk to in connection with Ted's death - and joked it looked like Emma.

Meanwhile, Emma was at Ted's funeral - despite Faye warning her not to go - and ended up talking to Ted's heartbroken grandson.
