Ahead of her exit, Fitton has taken to Instagram to share her thoughts, leaving the door open for a possible Corrie return.
"Wow! What an incredible few months it has been on the cobbles! I want to start off by saying how grateful I am to all my family, friends and of course the supporters of the show who have taken the time out to reach out and show their support," she captioned a shot of her and Bever laughing.
"It has truly been an experience of a lifetime!"
Fitton's Lauren was initially responsible for bringing Max to the dark side, getting him caught in Griff Reynolds's (Michael Condron) extremist group. However, the character was able to redeem herself when she and her boyfriend tipped off the police about Griff's bombing plan.
