FEELING increasingly isolated in her marriage due to her mother-in-law Elaine's presence, Sally Metcalfe makes a shock decision.
The Coronation Street stalwart is set to exit the cobbles, convinced she won't be missed, after learning her sister needs help.
For several weeks, Sally (played by actress Sally Dynevor) remained unaware of her husband Tim's (Joe Duttine) health struggles.
But after he collapsed during a confrontation, the cabbie was forced to undergo massive heart surgery and come clean to his other half.
During his recovery, he benefitted from Sally's support but was also happy when his mother Elaine (Paula Wilcox) decided to move in with the couple to take care of him.

However, Sally was less than pleased when her mother-in-law found a spot in her home.
In upcoming scenes of the ITV soap, Sally meets with Abi Webster (Sally Carman) in Victoria Garden and tells her she has made a drastic choice.
Sally will be leaving Weatherfield to stay in Newcastle with her sister Gina Seddon (portrayed by Connie Hyde from 2017 to 2019).
This is mostly due to her mother-in-law's presence at No.4.
Although she tried to keep her thoughts to herself, grimacing upon hearing Elaine was moving in, Sally has since found it hard to keep her cool.
This has notably led to her pulling a prank on Elaine, claiming Tim's favourite film was Terms of Endearment, a movie about a mother's controlling relationship with her daughter.
Recently, Elaine has been an obstacle to Sally and Tim's marital harmony as she stepped in when Sally suggested a night of romance for Valentine's Day.
In her eyes, any sexual activity should be out of the question as her son is still recovering from his triply bypass.

And as Sally watches the mother and son duo bond, she finds out her younger sister Gina is unwell.
Torn between her family and her husband, Sally is encouraged by Elaine to go to her sister, while her and Tim play a board game together.
Off-screen, Coronation Street viewers perhaps expected Sally to pack up and leave as Sally Dynevor is currently a contestant in Dancing on Ice.
According to the latest betting odds from Betfair, however, the actress runs the risk of being eliminated in upcoming instalments of the competition.
But will Sally return to the cobbles or is has Elaine managed to push her out of the Street permanently?
