It was just days ago Lisa confirmed she was leaving the ITV soap 13 years after joining as Beth Tinker
Coronation Street star Lisa George has revealed what was 'unusual' about her exit from the long-running show and also the heart-to-heart she had with her co-star beforehand.
READ MORE: Coronation Street's Lisa George addresses reason for leaving soap as Beth Tinker amid health fearsLisa has also opened up about how her fears of going blind encouraged her to take the leap and explore other roles. Lisa was diagnosed last year with NAION - non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, a rare condition where a loss of blood flow and oxygen delivery to the optic nerve causes sudden and painless vision loss in one eye.
Beth's criminal business was quickly rumbled while dodgy police officer Kit Green, who was seen secretly in cahoots with Sid and his counterfeit T-shirt business, warned that he wouldn't say a word as long as he gets half the cut of profits. Beth has since discovered Kit's secret and tried to blackmail him into handing over £400 for her silence.
Asked what it was like filming her last scenes, Lisa said: "Unusually Beth’s departure was my final scene of filming, often we film out of order but as I filmed it I knew Beth was leaving and it was my final scene on the cobbles. Halfway through when he called the cab to stop, and they got out I actually got really, quite tearful. I cried afterwards because it's been this huge part of my life for such a long time.
