It has been revealed that the death of her former lover, Tony Stewart, will drive Liz McDonald away from Corrie’s Weatherfield.
But it isn’t just grief that causes her to flee; it’s also the fact that Jason Grimshaw - played by Ryan Thomas - is set to make Liz’s life hell over his dad’s death.
In an interview on Coronation Street's official ITV site, the actor, who is leaving the soap later this year, said: "You see a different side to him when his Dad dies.
“You see him getting very aggressive, very confrontational."
Viewers will watch him becoming more and more antagonistic towards Liz, who is clearly battling with her own feelings of grief.
But things will all come to a head when Jason BLAMES Liz for his dad’s untimely passing.
With his cruel words ringing in her ears, we will see Liz begin to make plans to leave the country.
Yup, just like her son, Steve (Simon Gregson) before her, Liz will flee to Spain in a bid to escape the bad atmosphere - and avoid Tony's funeral.
The storyline twist comes shortly after Beverley Callard went public with her mental health battle.
Taking to Twitter, the actress wrote: “Been battling the demons of depression!
“One of the meds I'm on, has been stopped by pharmaceutical company, apparently it doesn't make money.”
Beverly has now been signed off from Corrie for two months.
This is hoped to give her doctors time to find a suitable alternative medication for her, and to give her the opportunity to focus on her mental health.
A source told Mirror Celebs: "Bev has taken some time off after one of the medications she takes for her depression was discontinued without warning causing her to have some problems.
"She is taking some time off whilst her doctors look for a suitable alternative."
It is not the first time that Beverly has battled with depression; in 2008, she was diagnosed with clinical depression and was subsequently admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
Admitting she came close to taking her own life, she told Piers Morgan’s Life Stories: "I tried maybe half a dozen times, but it wasn't a cry for help at all. I'd known for quite a while that I wasn't myself, but I didn't really know what to do about it.
"I was going to work and I was still filming and I didn't really talk to anyone about it and on that day they took me into The Priory in the early hours of the next morning and John said, and my doctor said, I looked like a 100-year-old woman.”
Beverly took a break from the soap and, thankfully, made a recovery with the help of her doctors.
Earlier this year, the soapstar spoke to the BBC as part of its In The Mind mental health season.
Encouraging others to speak out about their mental health, she said movingly: "I think clinical depression is a curse of the strong.
"I think you tend to be a people-pleaser and a perfectionist. If something goes wrong, you try and remedy it yourself and, of course, you can't make yourself better.”
She added: "I think the big thing is it's good to talk, and you should always talk.
“The help is out there, but you have to seek it out, it won't come to you.”
We wish Beverly all the best, and hope to see her back on ITV’s Coronation Street soon.
