Charlotte, 29, who has played Daisy Midgeley for the last four years, is one of three big names leaving in the coming months.
But unlike Corrie legend Sue Cleaver and the street’s loveable policeman Colson Smith, her exit won’t exactly go down in soap history.
Bosses have brought back her on-screen mum Christina, played by Amy Robbins, for short guest stint.
A source said: “Charlotte’s decision to quit Corrie was leaked at a time when the show was going through a bit of a crisis.
“When the news broke the narrative was very much, she’s moving onto bigger and better things which raised quite a few eyebrows on set.
“Charlotte is a great actress and was a very popular member of the cast.
“But it hadn’t gone unnoticed that she was also a bit of an influencer on her social media. She’d post pictures of herself swanning around events and staging influencer style photographs.”
Charlotte filmed her final scenes earlier this month which will see her character Daisy make a sharp exit later this spring.
The source added: “No-one ever wants to leave in the back of a cab but that’s exactly what’s happening with Charlotte. They’re not killing her off but she leaves after burning all her bridges with step-mum Jenny Bradley.”
Meanwhile bosses have pulled out all the stops to give actress Sue, 61, who has played Eileen Grimshaw for the last 25 years, a memorable exit.
Eileen’s sister Julie Carp, actress Katy Cavanagh, has already returned to the soap and revealed she was dying of cancer.
Her on-screen son Jason, played by Ryan Thomas, has also been back filming for her special exit.
While Colson Smith’s much-loved character Craig Tinker is being killed off in emotional scenes this summer.
He had his big leaving party in Manchester on Friday night which saw the cast and crew party into the early hours.
The source added: “Out of the three big exits Daisy’s is definitely the least memorable. There’s a little storyline and then she’s gone.”
“Whereas Eileen’s exit will be classic Corrie and Colson’s will leave viewers heartbroken.”
