Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver shares real reason for leaving soap
With Sue’s exit as Eileen airing on screen this evening (Friday, June 6), the actress has revealed why she’s decided that now is the right time to leave the show.
She shared: “I’m now 61 and I feel I’m now at a stage in my life, like most mums we have responsibilities, we have other things we have to consider [and] we’re bringing up our families – and I’ve got to the stage, my son is grown up now, he’s 29, I have no responsibilities left and I want to do something new. I want this decade to be about me.
“I really want to empower other women. Society at this point wants us all to shuffle off, don’t they. Just go away quietly, ‘You’ve had your days.’
