Coronation Street star Luana Santos has confirmed that she will be exiting the ITV soap and that her final scenes have already aired.
Luana first appeared on the programme as Sabrina Adetiba last year. From here, her character quickly formed a relationship Max Turner (Paddy Bever).
Earlier this year, she was targeted by Joel Deering (Calum Lill), who had been grooming and abusing young women in Weatherfield.
Luckily, her friend Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) grew suspicious of Joel’s motives and managed to keep him away from her.

In Monday night's episode, Sabrina visited Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) in the hospital, wishing her the best for her relationship with Max.
Sabrina went on to insist that Lauren deserved to be happy after everything Joel put her through. However, Sabrina was quickly reminded by Lauren that she too was nearly a victim.
Recently, Luana took to Instagram to announce that these touching scenes would be her last on Coronation Street.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
