However, I'm happy in the role and the producers will have me, so I'll be staying put for now." It was revealed in May 2015 that she would take a break from Coronation Street to work on other projects. However, it was reported in January 2016 that the resignation will be permanent. She told RadioTimes about her reason for leaving: "I've certainly only done about 20 pick-ups or drop-offs in all the time my daughter's been attending school, which is sad." I miss being others, and I miss being others. It's what I went to drama school for. I love being able to create new characters and meeting new people. I also want to keep my voiceover career alive, so I'll be able to get my voiceover career back to life. I used to do all sorts of things, but I can't do it while on Coronation Street. So, those are the reasons, really." On May 26, 2016, her resignation was announced. "These are my best friends and I adore them so much." She wrote about her resignation: "I love them so much." I'll miss them all and being with them, as well as the cast and crew, "they're my family."

"Coronation Street ruined my body," she said.

During Coronation Street's tour, the actress met fans in a virtual reality video. "It's surreal because it's the original set, and I know how many scenes I've shot in there." But as an actor, being back on set, you still feel like you've never left. This is obviously different because I'm Ali rather than Carla. I'm still waiting for them to yell at me. I've been my home for ten years, so I'm right at home being on target." King will reprise her role as Carla in December this year. On December 22, 2017, her return to television appeared on December 22nd.
