SAD NEWS: ITV ‘Corrie’ Declines to Renew Dolly-Rose Campbell’s Contract

In a bittersweet development for fans of Coronation Street, ITV has confirmed that Dolly-Rose Campbell, who has portrayed Gemma Winter since 2014, will be exiting the soap as her contract will not be renewed. The decision reportedly came from the network, signaling a significant shift in the long-running show’s direction.

Campbell, known for bringing humor and heart to the cobbles with her portrayal of the loud yet lovable Gemma, has become a fan favorite over the past decade. Her character’s chaotic yet heartfelt storylines, including the birth of quadruplets and her struggles with mental health, struck a chord with many viewers.

In a brief statement, Campbell expressed gratitude for her time on Corrie: “It’s been the most incredible journey, and I’ll cherish the memories forever. But it’s time to move on.”

An ITV spokesperson added, “We thank Dolly for her incredible contribution and wish her all the best in the future.”

Fans have taken to social media to voice disappointment and share their favorite Gemma moments. While no final air date has been confirmed, insiders say her departure will be “emotional but fitting.”

Campbell’s exit marks the end of an era, leaving a Gemma-sized hole on the cobbles.
