CS - 1 year ago to this day Emily Bishop left Corrie
I'm suspecting we will get the announcement of Eileen's death in the first half of the year before she returns and Emily will die off screen around Christmas 2017

Yeah but she got an extension.
Never say never.

I disagree. In the last ten years, we've lost a lot of golden oldies: Mike, Fred, Vera, Jack, Betty, Blanche, Sylvia, Dennis etc. Considering the Street has always had quite a wealth of characters 60+, it's been significantly lower now: Johnny, Yasmeen, Roy, Ken, Audrey, Freddie, Rita and Norris are now the only characters in that category.
Is she still in Peru?
Maybe she went on a trip to Colombia and got kidnapped by evil drug lords and Mary and Norris head off in a spin off to Bogota to save her?

One day you'll be old - it comes to us all.

I really hope none of her friends and family read this - discussing a character dying is one thing but an actor who is alive? That's horrible.

The older guard has always been Corrie's strength, and as others have already pointed out, they're already a bit thin on the ground. They need more 60+ characters if anything. Emily Bishop may not have been particularly interesting but for me she evoked everything that Corrie was and I always looked forward to seeing her pop up in the Kabin or the Rovers.
A shame Stephanie Cole quit as I really thought Sylvia was one of the best 'older' characters to hit the street in years - a worthy successor to the likes of Blanche, Ena, etc etc. Corrie desperately needs a new battleaxe in this mould.
I think it's a shame they didn't send her off somewhere more realistic.
I never bought into the Peru thing, and certainly don't buy it now a year on.
Sending her off to stay with Mavis or someone would've made more sense. Doesn't she have a niece who's deaf?

I agree.

This.
Why on earth they didn't have her go to stay with Mavis in the Lakes is beyond me, but it says a lot about the ridiculousness that is Coronation Street in the 2010s.
