“I was a huge fan of Dee Dee and thought CSB was a phenomenal actress. She won the British Soap Award for Best Newcomer in 2023 and had firmly established herself as an important cast member.”, reports the Liverpool Echo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately after Joel got killed off, Dee Dee got into a bit of a rut where it seemed the writers didn’t know what to do with her.<\/p>\n

“The adoption storyline with James was awkward and didn’t do much for anyone involved. I will definitely miss her.”<\/p>\n

Another chimed in: “I’ll miss her. I know she’s not done much since the whole Joel thing but I enjoy her character and liked seeing her fun outfits.”<\/p>\n

One viewer remarked: “Well that was kept quiet Dee Dee’s last episode is today. #Corrie.”<\/p>\n

Another chimed in: “Well that was an understated exit for Dee Dee. #Corrie.”<\/p>\n

Dee-Dee, a solicitor who has resided in Weatherfield since 2022, decided earlier this week that it was time to move on after landing a new job.<\/p>\n

The character has been at the heart of some major storylines, from falling pregnant by the villainous solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lill) to allowing her brother James Bailey (Jason Callender) to adopt her daughter Laila after struggling with motherhood.<\/p>\n

However, Dee-Dee found it difficult to keep an emotional distance from her daughter and the two have now relocated for a fresh start on the other side of the globe.<\/p>\n
