Coronation Street fans have been worrying for weeks over whether Rita's recent health problems might mean she is about to die.
It's been touch and go for Corrie viewers as fans of Street stalwart Rita Tanner watched on in horror as she was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Barbara Knox, who is one of Corrie's original characters, has played the loveable Rita since 1972 after an appearance in one episode in 1964.
After beginning to lose her memory, fans of the show began panicking that this could mean the axe for Rita.
Rita then underwent surgery to remove the tumour a few weeks ago, and found out her fate in last night's episode in a meeting with a doctor.

THANKFULLY, the news was announced that Rita's tumour was BENIGN, meaning that it hadn't spread around her body.
WAHOO! Thank goodness for that!
Fans took to Twitter to share their emotions which were pretty overwhelming.
Even the official Coronation Street Twitter account got in on the action.
Thank goodness for that. The Street wouldn't be the same without her!
