Coronation Street’s Emma Brooker will quit the cobbles in a final goodbye.

The hairdresser character, played by actress Alexandra Mardell in ITV soap will leave the cobbles either in the back of a police car or a cab.

Fans know she and Faye Windass killed Ted’s grandfather by accident after mowing him down in a car and Wednesday night’s episode Jon discovered the truth, and almost instantly forgave Emma.

After being horrified at first, Jon took a few minutes and then returned with a shock.

He told Emma that, “It’s weird to think you two are the last people to see my grandfather alive. When I first heard what had happened to him I couldn’t believe it, the thought of him dying alone scared, I should’ve been there. I’m not saying this to make you feel guilty.

“When you told me about you and Faye, I was relieved. I can picture you in his flat, drinking tea, chatting, having a laugh.

“I bet he passed away with a smile on his face. Just so you know I won’t be going to the police – you’ve been through enough.”

Only because Emma said she loved Jon, he decided that his grandfather’s death was a price worth paying for his happiness.

While explaining how Jon has let them all off the hook, Emma insisted that everything was going to be OK.

She told: “Jon’s going to Australia, and I’m going too.”

But fans think there will be a dark twist coming with Jon setting her up for revenge.

One fan wrote: “Well Emma had a lucky escape with Curtis and his fictitious disorder, she’s now going to be under the control of a guy that has something big on her! Stupid girl.”

A second fan said: “Emma he’s got a hold on you now!!”

Another said: “I feel like Jon is going to blackmail Emma.”
