Coronation Street fans have long asked "where is Aggie" with her not currently on the ITV soap.
Aggie Bailey actress Lorna Laidlaw was last on the cobbles as her character in June earlier this year, and since then she has not been on Corrie. ITV soap fans have been concerned over the future of the character on the ITV soap, and now new spoilers have shared sad news about the character.
Recently, an update from the Baileys confirmed she was not returning for a while, while it's not been ruled as a permanent exit yet. The latest spoilers for December now confirm she definitely is not returning for now, leaving her family gutted and leading to one character making an exit decision.
Aggie's husband Ed Bailey decides to go to Birmingham to be with his wife for Christmas, but things don't go to plan when his money issues lead to a robbery. Spoilers reveal Aggie confirms she is unable to make it home for the festive season.
She does make contact though, and calls her family in the days before Christmas - but the call comes in just as Ed is having a showdown with debt collector Tony, so will she get to speak to her family? It follows the big update last month that Aggie would not be returning to the ITV soap for the time being, and wouldn't be back this year at least.
Corrie's Sue Cleaver says I'm A Celebrity stint helped her to push boundaries

Aggie's disappearance has been mentioned in passing a few times since then by her family, but only to say she was caring for a relative, with no mention of when she'll return.
In a recent episode, Michael Bailey said: “I can’t believe mum won’t be back for Christmas. I know she’s doing a brilliant job looking after auntie Em but come on, it’s not going to be the same waking up Christmas morning with mum not here. For Glory, Christmas dinner without mum, she always makes a big effort.”
Hitting out at his son, Ed Bailey said: “Your mum would love to be here but she’s needed somewhere else.” Coronation Street fans took to Twitter to share their concern over Aggie's break from the cobbles.
One viewer wrote: “I hope Lorna Laidlaw is alright,“ while another said: “If Aggie doesn't return for the new year, I actually might cry. Her and DeeDee carry that family, and they're not giving DeeDee an easy job.“
