Ding dong, Becky Swain is gone and this time, it’s not another twisted fake-out. Coronation Street has officially closed the chapter on the death-faking, kidnapping, fire-starting menace, and now the actress behind the chaos, Amy Cudden, has confirmed her final exit in the most heartfelt way possible, as she pays tribute to the “incredible” co-stars who made her time on the cobbles unforgettable.
Amy Cudden Confirms Final Exit And Shares Emotional Goodbye To Corrie Cast
Amy Cudden took to Instagram to confirm that her time as Becky Swain has come to an end, writing that it was “a wrap on Becky Swain.” While Becky left Weatherfield in handcuffs, Amy’s real-life exit came with warmth, gratitude, and a long list of people she clearly didn’t want to leave behind.
In her post, Amy thanked her partner, Gus Gallagher, calling him “the most generous and loving partner” for supporting her while she uprooted her life for six months to take on the role.
She made it clear that behind the madness Becky brought to the street, Amy’s Corrie experience was something she truly valued. She also praised key people behind the scenes, thanking Corrie boss Kate Brooks for “signing off” on her and for offering constant support throughout her run. Amy also thanked Prinny for the “delicious food” and the canteen episode debriefs, and Eamonn Bedford for putting her “in the room” and always having her back.
She Calls Her On-Screen Family “Three Incredible Screen Queens”
Amy’s tribute saved some of her biggest love for the cast members she worked closest with. She shared an emotional message for her “lovely on-screen family,” admitting she missed them “SO MUCH.”
She specifically name-checked Vicky Myers, Sydney Martin, and Alison King, calling them “three incredible screen queens” that she adores. Amy even described Alison as a “magical fire tornado,” which honestly feels like the most perfect Corrie compliment ever.
She also said she felt lucky to have “fallen from the soapy sky into their warm embrace,” before signing off with a message that will hit Swarla fans right in the chest: “Swarla forever.” Even though Becky tried to destroy Lisa and Carla’s relationship, Amy clearly understood what the pairing meant to viewers and respected it. One of the most surprising parts of Amy’s goodbye was how much love she gave to the Swarla fandom, especially because Becky’s entire mission was to stomp all over Lisa and Carla’s happiness.
Amy thanked the Swarla appreciation account for reaching out to her and checking she was okay, even while she was playing the “mullet-haired wrong’un” causing all the drama. She later admitted she knew Swarla existed before joining the show, but she didn’t realise how “passionate and loyal” the fanbase was until she experienced it firsthand. And with Becky now locked away for good, Amy’s final goodbye feels like the perfect full-circle moment. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
