Liz, who played Weatherfield icon Vera Duckworth, was looking radiant when I caught up with her.
But she tells me some people do get a fright when they see her out and about - after her character's poignant death scenes.
She laughs: "My friend's grandson said to me: `you're dead you, I saw you die in that chair'.
"Another woman said `you're the most attractive dead woman I've ever seen'."
Despite retiring from Corrie, Liz, 69, admits that she wouldn't mind making a return to television acting again in future.
She says: "I'd like to do a comedy where I don't have to move too much - like something in The Royle Family. I couldn't do The Bill, I get out of breath just watching that!"
And in reference to her Corrie death scene - where she passed away in her sleep in her front room armchair - she quipped: "I could always do adverts for chairs and say: `oo this is so comfy, I could die in this chair'."
