'Coronation Street' Katherine Kelly: 'Becky will get redemption'
Published Sunday, Jan 22 2012, 17:10 GMT | By Daniel Sperling | 11 comments
Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly has promised that her character Becky McDonald will leave the soap "with a bang".
Becky is to make her exit tomorrow (January 23) when she gatecrashes ex-husband Steve's (Simon Gregson) wedding to her Weatherfield nemesis Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
Discussing the plot, Kelly teased that her Corrie alter ego will receive "redemption" after being falsely accused of causing Tracy's miscarriage, but said she would not receive "the ending everyone expects".
"I hope people will be cheering for Becky when they watch the episode," she told The Mirror. "Tracy has been awful to her and it's great that she gets to go out with a bang.
"I've had a fantastic time at Coronation Street and I'm chuffed at the reaction to Becky. It's been this lovely redemption story and I think that's what the viewers have enjoyed about it... I don't want to spoil it, but hopefully it's not the ending everyone expects."
Kelly added that she is still in denial about saying goodbye to Coronation Street after almost six years.
"I have seen those last two episodes and I did shed a tear," she said. "It still seems surreal though. I don't know when it's actually going to hit me that I've gone."
Kelly previously described her Corrie exit as "fitting".
