Actress Sally Carman took to social media to warn her followers that she will be “taking a bit of a break”.
Sally Carman, 41, has been a beloved part of the Coronation Street cast since 2017, but worried fans this week. The star announced on Instagram that she would be off social media for a while, prompting endless questions as fans were concerned for her wellbeing.
On Thursday, the actress posted a snap on social media, featuring a calming lavender background with fine white writing.
In the photo, Sally declared: “Taking a bit of a break from social media for the next few weeks.”
Fans were quick to send endless amounts of support and heart emojis, saying they will “miss your posts” and telling her to“have a lovely rest”, while admitting the announcement was “sad” to hear.
Markports9 said they “don’t blame you” for taking the break, adding “it’s good to detox”, while Franceliafarrellanderson noted Sally should “Do what’s right for you my lovely”.
However, not giving her 140,000 followers a reason for her hiatus, fans quickly began theorising why she would be taking a break.
Some almost immediately began thinking of worst-case scenarios, as countless commenters questioned her well-being asking: “Hope you are okay?”
Others had more long-term concerns, as Andrewjones3866 pointed out: “Make sure you come back, you never came back to Facebook.”
A few seemed to believe the actress was giving up social media this year, with Christinem1302 declaring that they were giving up “refined sugar”.
While the celebrity may have permanently stopped using Facebook, Sally has used Instagram as her primary communication channel with her fans.
After their wedding was repeatedly postponed due to the pandemic, she revealed on the platform last year that she had wed her Corrie co-star.
Having previously collaborated on Shameless in the early 2000s, Sally and her now-husband Joe Duttine, 52, reconnected when the actress joined the Corrie cast in 2017.
Joe has been on the soap opera for the entire ten years that Tim Metcalfe has been the cab driver, but he first appeared in a completely different role.
For five months in 2010, Joe played detective sergeant Max Carr, and fans were somewhat annoyed when he returned in a more permanent role three years later.
The pair started dating in 2018 and moved in together months before the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns started.
The couple got engaged during the first lockdown in 2020 and after almost two years were able to finally tie the knot.
Sally celebrated their lavish Salford wedding by posting a passionate snap to Instagram.
The pair wrapped around each other with a sweet kiss as they held glasses of bubbles as Sally simply captioned the post: “We did”.
The caption sweetly referenced Sally’s announcement of their engagement, where she posted a snap on Instagram reading: “I did.”
Rather than a traditional white dress, Sally opted for a flattering baby blue gown with delicate lace snaking up the bodice and over her sleeves.
Following their nuptials, Sally officially became stepmother to Joe’s three children aged 25, 14 and 12.
