CORONATION Street fans have not been happy to hear that Luana Santos is set to leave the cobbles.
The actress took to social media announcing that it was her last day on set for the soap yesterday.
She told followers: “Last day with Corrie… thanks for everything @coronationstreet.
“Drama school here I come.”
Luana has played the role of Max’s girlfriend Sabrina Adetiba for the past year.
Her character has recently been involved in the Joel Deering abuse storyline.
Lauren Bolton was Max’s girlfriend before she disappeared and he met Sabrina.
With the pregnant teen back in town, Sabrina has been left fighting with Lauren for his affections.
At one point she also appeared to have been singled out as a potential next target for Joel.
Corrie fans took to a digital forum to rant about Sabrina’s sudden exit from the soap.
One person fumed: “So Sabrina is going after just over 12 months on the show.
“Such a waste! Another wasted character on the street who brought nothing to the show.”
Another added: “That’s the problem with Corrie these days amongst the many, is we have so many good young actors who with the right writing could be like David and Sarah and be around the life but now they just seem to what is needed from them and get rid.
“I would have loved for Sabrina and Gav to have moved onto the street permanently.”
A third sighed: “I liked Sabrina and Max together, although looking at the current state of play I think those who say she was bought in to prove Max wasn’t racist any more, we’re probably right.
“Shame she is going. Hope she goes on to better things.”
However, one viewer wished the actress well as she moves on to a new stage in life.
They wrote: “She seemed like a promising young actress, and being in Corrie no doubt helped with her application for drama school.
“Hope to see her in other things in the future.”
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.
After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.
Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.
Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.
Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.
Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.
The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.
