Taking to Instagram<\/a> after the instalment aired, Gallagher wrote: “Nina and Corrie you have been a dream. I stepped foot on to the cobbles almost 7 years ago and what a time it has been!”<\/p>\n

“As a working class actor from Salford, I am proud to be part of a show that feels like home, and I am beyond grateful for everything, and everybody there,” added the star, who has left to join a touring production<\/a> of The Silence of the Lambs.<\/p>\n

“Corrie brought a dream of a character to life and I can’t believe l get to say I played a dream role for my first ever acting job. Just a goodbye for now,” she concluded, before telling followers to “stay weird”.<\/p>\n

The post was welcomed by several people in the comment section, with one follower writing: “Hope to see you back one day!! what an absolute credit you are to both yourself and the show.”<\/p>\n

“Hope to see you back one day. A fabulous character who you brought to life with such grace,” added another, while a third commented: “You will be missed beautiful! All the best for the future and I already can’t wait to see Nina return one day! Stay weird!”<\/p>\n

A fourth follower echoed these sentiments, writing: “You have been amazing. Nina has been one of my favourite characters hope you come back at some point in the future you will be missed.” <\/p>\n

With Nina not being killed off, there is plenty of optimism that Gallagher could reprise her role in the future<\/a>, and the actor herself has certainly expressed hope that it could happen at some point. <\/p>\n

“I kept my favourite coat of hers. I hope it isn’t the end of Nina, and I didn’t want to take her best things in case I ever get a call back,” said the actor, who added that she had “changed” due to her portrayal of the character.<\/p>\n
