Coronation Street star Liz Dawn has signed a new two-year deal with the soap.
The news quashes rumours that Dawn, who has played Vera Duckworth for 31 years, was about to retire.
"I've read stories about my health with people hinting I may be leaving but that is rubbish," the 65-year-old told The People. "I've only just signed a new two-year-deal.
"I'm very happy on the show and have no intention of quitting."
Bill Tarmey, who plays onscreen husband Jack, is now expected to follow suit with a new contract.
Speculation had been rife that the Duckworths would be departing the cobbles later this year after winning the lottery.
