Dee-Dee shocked her by revealing that she was making her way to London tonight before hopping on a flight this weekend. Gathering her family for a goodbye meal at the bistro (of course), Dee-Dee promised everyone that she’d let them visit whenever they wanted.

However, one person failed to turn up to the meal – James Bailey. He was taking the whole thing rather personally. Once Dee-Dee’s loved ones lined up on the Street to wave her off in front of her carriage (we mean taxi), James had a change of heart and said a proper goodbye. He told little Laila that he loved her and watched Dee-Dee and her baby ride off on their way to London, marking the character’s final scenes on the soap. SOB. Dee-Dee is moving to Singapore (Credit: ITV) Channique Sterling-Brown’s next career move revealed Talking on Lorraine yesterday (Thursday, December 18), Channique Sterling-Brown reflected on her time on the cobbles. She then excitedly revealed that she was already working on a brand-new project. Channique is putting pen to paper this time though, rather than reading scripts. Why? Because she’s writing a play of her own! She told Lorraine: “Im writing a play for the Hope Mill Theatre [in Manchester] with HER Productions. We’re working with a charity called Her Place. It’s really important work about social care and women whose children get taken into social care and how they’re supported.” The play is expected to take to the stage in March, 2026. Of course, the door is open for Dee-Dee herself to return to the cobbles in the future should Channique wish to after all of her exciting new projects have been completed. Channique admitted that she’s grateful for that and that the show didn’t decide to kill her off. She explained: “It’s very, very kind of the team to leave the door open for me, and I love that she still exists somewhere, living her best life.” Read more: 8 huge things to expect from Coronation Street this Christmas Share Good to Know Share By Tamzin Meyer Dec 19 2025 By Tamzin Meyer Dec 19 2025 Previous Story Next Story
