Coronation Street's Isabella Flanagan has issued an emotional farewell after her co-star exited the show.
The talented youngster has played Hope Stape on the Cobbles since 2017. The troubled character has recently been through a difficult family situation after her mum, Fiz, became embroiled in a dramatic love triangle with Phill Whittaker and Tyrone Dobbs.
Fiz split with long-term partner, Tyrone, last year when he had an affair with Alina Pop. The character, played by Jennie McAlpine, hit it off with Phill when he arrived on the Cobbles and the two were set to be married.

However, Fiz has since had second thoughts and rekindled her relationship with Tyrone. Jamie Kenna played Phill in the ITV soap and confirmed he had exited the show after Fiz and Tyrone's up and down romance was resolved.
The character regularly shared the screen with Isabella and her mum has taken to Instagram to issue a gushing tribute to the departing soap star.
She said: " It’s a goodbye for now to one of the nicest guys Bella’s worked with @thejamiekenna apart from @alanhalsall of course. take care tall man and we’ll see you soon I’m sure!"
Jamie responded: "I miss you guys! I hope we get our reunion sooner rather than later " The soap actor released a statement yesterday and said he was gutted to be leaving the show after a year.
He said: "The modern day Jack and Vera are reunited and I feel so honoured to have played my part in that.
"Jennie and Alan [Halsall] are the best people to work with and I've been so lucky. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the love and support over the last year.
"I have had an absolute blast. I love this place and this show. Who knows? Maybe it isn't the end and they'll bring Phill back, but for now it's a massive goodbye from me."
