 Violet Carson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In April 1980, a storyline involved Ena moving to Lytham St. Anne's, Blackpool to stay with a friend whilst her flat at the Street's Community Centre was being renovated.
When the character returned, the flat was not ready and Ena announced on screen (to characters Ken Barlow and Albert Tatlock) that she would return to her flat - but only if she felt doing so; it was at this point that Carson became ill with anaemia and was forced to leave the programme.
All storylines involving the return of Ena Sharples had to be scrapped due to Miss Carson's illness, although Ena was still considered a regular member of the cast.

She almost always wore a double-breasted coat and hairnet, and, with her two cronies, Martha Longhurst and Minnie Caldwell, would spend much of her free time in the Rover's Return drinking milk stout.
By the 1970s, the character mellowed considerably, so that by the time the actress left the programme the final time, Mrs Sharples was generally well-regarded and extremely popular with viewers.
When Ena left the programme in 1980, Violet Carson had already left many times for health reasons, so the producers and writers of Corrie expected her to come back eventually.
