'Coronation Street' Becky gets fitting exit, says Katherine Kelly

Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly has predicted that Becky McDonald's departure storyline will prove a hit with fans.

Becky makes an explosive exit from Weatherfield next week, wrecking Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) and Steve McDonald's (Simon Gregson) wedding day by exposing her arch-rival's twisted lies.

The feisty blonde leaves the cobbles shortly afterwards, but she has a big decision to make as she can either start a new life in Barbados with love interest Danny Stratton (Jeremy Sheffield) - or head off alone to pick up the pieces following recent events.

Kelly told the Worksop Guardian: "I think it's just not the ending that you maybe would expect. I certainly didn't expect it. I know they were wrestling for ages with what to do with her.

"The joy of Becky is that she's always been able to do everything at any point, and you never really know which way she's going to go. She's been through so many twists and turns. For me, it would have been completely believable if her final episodes would have been her on a park bench high as a kite! Because why not?

"It could have been anything, really. But the ending that they chose and they wrote is really fitting and I hope it's what the nation would want for her. It's certainly what I would want for her. Hopefully it just wasn't too predictable."

Coronation Street airs Becky's final episodes on Monday at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
