'Coronation Street' Becky exit is sad for Kylie, says Paula Lane

Coronation Street star Paula Lane has admitted that her mischievous character Kylie Platt will be sad to see half-sister Becky leave the cobbles.

Becky's final scenes air later this month following Katherine Kelly's decision to depart the show after six years.

Although Kylie and Becky have a turbulent history, the pair have found themselves on better terms in recent weeks.



Lane told Soaplife of Becky's exit: "Kylie will be bereft. She's thrilled for Becky, but it brings back the memories about when Becky left her last time. They have made amends and she is going to miss her a lot."

The build-up to Becky's departure sees her face a big decision as her new love interest Danny Stratton (Jeremy Sheffield) asks her to move to Barbados with him and his young son.

"Kylie would love to see Becky happy again," Lane added. "It is a fresh start for the pair of them - there is no rivalry any more. They both look like being able to start a new chapter."

Kylie proves to be one of Becky's only allies next week as the feisty blonde fights to clear her name following Tracy Barlow's (Kate Ford) false allegations over her miscarriage.

Coronation Street continues on Thursday at 8.30pm on ITV1.
