The octogenarian left the Street in January to visit her nephew Spider in Peru, but since then we haven't heard nor seen anything of her.
According to The Sun, actress Eileen Derbyshire who plays the character of Emily was set to take a six-month break but it looks like that short break has been extended to a year-long one.
Bosses of the soap have confirmed that there are no plans for the actress to return
" Eileen has been off for a long time, and there is no expectation that she will be back. All of her cast mates have accepted she won’t be returning. "She’s 85 and has been out of the show for a year, so she probably would have found it tough to get back into the fast pace of filming... "Of course, as far as the bosses are concerned, there will always be a place for her on the show."Fans took to Twitter to mourn the possible eternal loss of Emily from the soap.
If Emily Bishop is leaving #Corrie then I'm leaving the country.

I hope the rumours circulating around the internet this morning about Eileen Derbyshire aren't true! We need Emily Bishop in #Corrie — Graeme (@GraemeN82) November 13, 2016
On top of everything else I have lost this year now Emily Bishop will not be returning to Corrie, I hate 2016 ?
