Liz McDonald's Coronation Street exit will see her bid an emotional farewell to the Rovers Return before leaving Weatherfield alone, a report has claimed.

According to The Sun, poignant scenes on the ITV1 soap will see the landlady complete one final shift at her beloved pub before putting on her coat, walking to the door and taking in her surroundings for the last time as she turns off the lights.

It is thought that bosses want the scenes to mirror the way iconic Rovers favourite Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear) departed the cobbles in 1995.

Sources say that Liz decides to start a new life in Spain after ex-husband Jim (Charles Lawson) stages an armed robbery at Weatherfield's building society. He does so as part of a desperate attempt to raise funds in order to buy The Rovers.

After his plan goes wrong, Jim is expected to be jailed for 20 years - leaving Liz heartbroken. She agrees to wait for him, but with little keeping her in Weatherfield, she apparently leaves the country without telling him.

Beverley Callard - who plays Liz - announced her decision to leave Coronation Street last October. Her final scenes will air next month.
