Tina O'Brien - leaving Weatherfield

Tina O'Brien is due to bow out of 'Coronation Street' in dramatic style shortly when she humiliates boyfriend Jason Grimshaw at the altar.

The Daily Star reports that when her character Sarah Lou learns that Jason - played by Tina's real-life partner Ryan Thomas - doesn't want to marry her, Sarah allows the wedding to go ahead as planned but unleashes her fury during the ceremony. She then leaves Weatherfield with her daughter Bethany (played by twins Amy and Emily Walton) in tow.

A soap insider told the newspaper: "It's going to be an emotional blockbuster that will have fans gripped. They will know early on that Jason's heart is not in the wedding but he still goes through with it."

They added: "Sarah-Louise is devastated when she discovers the truth but decides she won't get mad, she'll get even. She'll prove she's not a pushover and once the damage is done, she'll leave everyone else to pick up the pieces."

The 24-year-old actress left the soap earlier this year in a bid to pursue other projects. Since the announcement, Tina has admitted that she has struggled to find work other than a Cinderella pantomime role.
