Soap airs special tribute in memory of late star
A week after Philip’s d3ath, the soap has now paid a special tribute to the star at the end of tonight’s episode.
This evening focused on Daisy Midgeley’s exit from the Street as she decided to depart from Weatherfield. She was heading off to sunny Bali for a fresh start.
Tears were flowing for her loved ones as she left them letters to say her goodbyes before heading off.
The final scenes of the episode saw Daisy pop on her sunnies in a cab, on her way to the airport.
The screen then faded to black before showing a black and white image of a young Philip Lowrie. The screen then read: “In memory of Philip Lowrie, 1936-2025.”
