June brown who plays for cotton/Branning has announced she's leaving the show after 35 years mainly due to a disappointment in recent storyline she featured in .in my opinion unless the bosses can convince her either by an improvement in a contract or by better storylines then this looks pretty permanent also lets not forget she is 93 now
