The final moment in the October 1 episode is considered one of the most iconic farewell scenes of Coronation Street.

After saying goodbye to Rita, Jenny returned to the Rovers Return Inn – the place she used to work at and also the place that witnessed the ups and downs of her life.

In the dim light, Jenny stood silently looking at the Weatherfield street, her eyes filled with tears.

She knew that everything had come to an end, that her time here was over.

Without a long dialogue, just a look filled with memories, Jenny slowly removed the Rovers sign – the symbol she once held. That action was like an affirmation: a chapter had officially closed.

The scene ended with the image of Jenny leaving, her small figure gradually disappearing behind the familiar houses. For many viewers, it was not only the character’s farewell, but also the farewell of actress Sally Ann Matthews to the role she had been attached to for more than ten years.

On Instagram, Matthews once wrote: “I was only going to stay for 5 months, but it turned into 10 years because I loved it so much. Now it’s time for me to do other roles that I’ve always cherished.” That statement, combined with the scene of Jenny leaving Corrie, created a beautiful ending – an end, but not the end of a career, but a new beginning.

The audience will certainly miss Jenny Connor, but also understand that every story needs an end. Coronation Street, with this ending, once again proves that they always know how to write moments that are both real and dramatic.
