The star – who played ‘Killer Katy’ – had a controversial relationship with Sean Wilson’s character Martin Platt.

Katy’s exit from Coronation Street saw her twisted character murder her own father before taking her own life.

The intense scenes, which aired 23 years ago, were stripped across an entire special week for Lucy-Jo’s exit.

Speaking about the toll it took on her, the 41-year-old said: “The story like was actually dragged out over a whole year so I remember filming Monday to Friday, 12 hour days and then night shoots and everything was constant.

“Katy crying, Katy’s sobbing, Katy’s upset, oh she’s crying again and oh she’s sobbing again and I was like ‘oh my god’.”

She added to the Conversation Street podcast: “For 12 hours a day every day for at least nine months I was having to cry every day so I’ll be honest I was desperate for a holiday after it.

“It was tough, really tough scenes, long days but amazing to be given such a brilliant storyline back in the day and working with Catherine Hulme who played my mum and Tommy Gregg who played my dad and all the other cast members who were apart of it all.

“It was such an amazing little family on there, that as much as it was tough everybody just helped you through it even the crew were amazing going ‘just have a minute, go on lie down we’ll come back to this scene’ and I was like ‘no’ but they were like ‘no I think you need a minute’.”

Lucy added: “I ended up getting glandular fever towards the end because of the emotion, I couldn’t speak to they had to re-write the last few scenes were I actually didn’t speak because I had no voice it had just completely gone.

“I pushed myself to limits I never thought I had and yeah it was amazing, it was hard work but it was amazing.”

Lucy added that on the weekends she would also cry off set over the intensity of the storyline.

Soap fans have more recently seen the actress appear on rival soap Hollyoaks as Donna-Marie Quinn before leaving last year.

Coronation Street’s 2024 shock exits

Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let’s break down who’s left the famous soap:

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.

The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.

After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.

Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.

Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.

Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.

It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.

Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.

Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.
