'Coronation Street' star passes away at 76

Lynne Verrall, famously known for her role in British television programme Coronation Street has breathed her last breath at the age of 76.

Following a long battle with motor neurone disease, Lynne dies in Paris on November 8, 2025.

The actress' agent Samantha Boyd told The Stage, "Lynne was always ready to try any role, to grow and learn and develop. She embraced life to the full."

Notably, a French fundraising page has been created to honour her memory and support the fight against MND.

"Our dear friend Lynne faced MND with her trademark wit and courage – and even in the toughest moments, she never lost her spark (or her sense of humour)," it reads.

Continuing, "In true Lynne fashion, she even left a gift in her will to ARSLA, the MND association here in Paris, to help others facing this awful illness. If you’d like to honour her memory – and give this disease the middle finger (ARSLA’s brilliant campaign slogan!) – you might consider a small donation to support their work."

"I can just imagine Lynne laughing at that and saying, ‘that’s the spirit – don’t make a fuss, but thank you, darling,'" it concluded.

Lynne Verrall has been famously known for playing Geraldine Spellman in Coronation Street. Besides that, the actress also appeared in Doctors, Father Brown and ITV drama Innocent.

Notably, Lynne was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2023 after filming Greek Salad.
