It all depends on the extradition law I guess.

Sadly looks like it. It has been a very long "3 months" or whatever it was originally. Such a shame that she has had such a stupid exit.

The actress is 84 and played the same character for 55 years so she deserves a long break. It's not like the character has had any storylines for a few decades.

Eileen Derbyshire is a very private person, so I'd imagine if she was leaving for good, she wouldn't want a big fuss, or interviews with DS etc, the usual when any character, let alone a major historical one, decides to leave.
Sadly, I don't think we will see her back, I really will be surprised if we do. I just wish she had of gotten a more realistic send off, rather than the tripe that we got served up. Completely unrealistic for such an elderly woman to travel all the way to a tropical climate such as Peru by herself in her 80s. Would have been more believable if she just went to another town/city in the UK to visit family/friends etc. But, Corrie was a mess under the last team, who clearly thought they were writing some kind of children's tv show, so a rubbish exit storyline was expected.

It was six months, I think. Still should be due back in a couple of weeks though (if she is coming back), she was last seen on New Year's Day.

Surely if she isnt coming back, it will need to be addressed on screen?

Heaven forbid, but would they let her pass away abroad off screen,

Unlikely that they will kill her off. My view is either that she will reappear or will return to UK off screen and move in with Freda.

If she is retiring it would be nice to see her back for a send-ff in the Rovers and proper closure.

Well she's been away longer than the reported six months.

And while Emily is used little when she is in it, you'd have expected her to appear at least briefly as soon as those six months were up given the holiday she's just had.

They said she'd be taking a 6 months break so if she is back she'd be back filming now, and could be back within a few weeks.

At the time it was announced that Alison King was taking a break as Carla but she's obviously not now as she confirmed this.

As for Emily at the time they said:

“She is obviously a big loss to the show, even if it is really is temporary, because she’s one of the most recognisable characters on the cobbles.

Notice "EVEN IF IT IS REALLY TEMP"

even casting dought at the time weather she would ever be coming back.

At the time it seemed as if she was saying goodbye for good and the characters were giving her a final send off

She left at New Year so would have finished filming in October and should've returned around April/May, and been back on screen by now. Something is amiss. It could just be her break has been extended who knows. The actress is very private though so it wouldn't surprise me if she's left permanently and didn't want a fuss.

Wonder if anyone asked about Emily at today's press day?

Maybe she's using the time to catch up with her fanmail.
