The Daily Star reports Sylvia is going to be killed off off-screen and won’t be seen in Weatherfield again.
An insider said: “It’s a shame she’s being bumped off like this.”
Actress Stephanie Cole played the role on screen last in 2013.
Sylvia left the street when Roy’s wife Hayley was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in one of the show’s most heartbreaking storylines.
She was a classic Corrie battleaxe who clashed with many of the street’s residents with her caustic comments and brash demeanour.
She was last mentioned in 2016 when Roy had to leave to help her after she fell and broke her hip dancing in Hastings.
