The scenes will unfold next week.
Katy Armstrong, played by Georgia May Foote, was a popular character on Coronation Street and when she left the show three years ago, the door was said to be left open for her return.
However, producers have now decided her character will be killed off in a car crash that happens off-screen.
Katy’s ex-boyfriend Chesney, father of her son Joseph, is set to hear the news while in hospital himself after falling ill at work.
Georgia left the show in 2015 and took part in Strictly Come Dancing, where she made it to the final, losing out on the winning spot to Jay McGuinness.
A source explained:
“As Katy, Georgia was really popular with Corrie fans and had some big storylines. But bosses have clearly decided that she has no future in the soap, and have ruled out a return by killing her off.
“You might have thought they would show such a well-known character being written out on screen but that wasn’t to be”.
The 25-year-old, who has also starred in Grange Hill and Heartbeat, is now living in Los Angeles with partner George Alsford.
There’s sure to be some emotional scenes aired next week and Corrie fans won’t want to miss out.
