Coronation Street fans are convinced they know how Yasmeen Nazir exits Weatherfield as the character is set to leave for good. Actress Shelley King has reportedly bid farewell to the ITV soap after an impressive 11-year stint as much-loved Yasmeen.

Shelley, aged 69, graced the cobbles initially in 2014 but she is set to make her departure in the very near future. Reports indicate that she has wrapped up her filming commitments as Yasmeen, with her final on-screen appearances slated for March. As fans of the ITV soap will know, Yasmeen's partner Stu Carpenter (played by Bill Fellows) also bowed out of the Cobbles in October to start a new life elsewhere.

His granddaughter Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) and her father Dom Everett (Darren Morfitt) had offered to get Stu a job in Germany meaning he would leave their local restaurant Speed Daal behind, along with Yasmeen.

Before he departed, Stu and Yasmeen both agreed that they no longer felt the same in their relationship and decided to go their separate ways.

The pair shared a farewell drink in the Rovers, where Stu thanked Yasmeen for all she had done for him over the past few years.

But as Yasmeen is now set to leave Weatherfield, some Corrie fans are predicting she will reunite with Stu in Germany as the pair rekindle their romance.

Taking to X, one Corrie viewer predicted: "Sad to see Yasmeen is leaving here's hoping she goes to be with Stu! #corrie."

A second wrote: "Probably going to stay with Stu. Empty restaurant now as well!", while a third chimed in: "Off to join Stu I imagine."

Although not everyone agrees Yasmeen should join Stu in Germany adding: "I will say this. If #corrie's answer to how to write Yasmeen out is to have her go join Stu in Germany, I will be disappointed. On the whole, he seemed to make her pretty miserable."
