Diane, who has been played by Elizabeth Estensen for 22 years, will soon be bidding an emotional farewell to the village. She thinks it might be better for Bernice and Gabby if they jet off with her.
On leaving, former Coronation Street star Elizabeth said: "I can't quite believe it, and do you know every day has been different and every day has been a pleasure. I will miss it enormously, but I think the time has come now for me to go."
Diane has been involved in some major storylines down the years and enjoyed a memorable marriage to Jack Sugden.
