It means the actress, who featured in plotlines from domestic abuse to mental illness, will film her emotional exit scenes next month.
Insiders revealed that Nikki, who has been dating Emmerdale actor Anthony Quinlan for three years, had decided to move on to give herself more freedom to try other roles.
A source told me: “She met with bosses and told them of her plans to leave, she’d just turned 40 and felt the time was right to say goodbye to Maxine.
“She’s keen to explore other opportunities and is excited to get back out there.
“Bosses have been plotting Maxine’s exit storyline for months and have promised it will be a fitting tribute to the character, and viewers can expect a lot of drama before she goes.”
The source added: “She will film her final scenes next month, which will go out on-screen in May.”
Earlier this month we revealed how rival soap Coronation Street has signed up Ryan Mulvey, who played JJ Osborne in the Channel 4 soap.
Ryan bagged a part in theITVprogramme mere weeks after finally leaving Hollyoaks for good.
Ryan was involved in one of soap’s most controversial plots ever when it was revealed that his character JJ had been repeatedly raping and abusing his twin sister, Frankie, and putting her through a terrible ordeal.
JJ was sent to prison after finally confessing to the shocking abuse which led to his exit from the soap.

What’s in a name? Apparently a lot for these Hollywood stars, who’ve been bidding adieu to their famous monikers.

The pair danced to Mamma MiaThe pair even did the headbangerFans were not impressed though
Asking “are they watching something different?” after Mollie and Colin took to the ice, fans didn’t agree with the 35.5 score the pair nabbed.
For Musical Week, Mollie & Colin skated to Mamma Mia! and received three scores of 9.0.
The pair did the headbanger during their routine, which is always met with baited breath – but the pair smashed it.
Although the couple seamlessly carried out the risky headbanger, fans didn’t agree with their high score.
Ashley gave the pair 9.0, Oti followed suit with a score of 9.0, and so did Jayne who gave 9.0, while Chris gave the pair 8.5.
After he scores were given, fans rushed to social media to fume over the high scores dished out to Mollie and Colin by the judges.
Fans were disappointed with the high scores the couple received, with many quick to say how Mollie needed to skate on her own more.
One person on X said: “Overmarked I think, not much solo skating for me. Pretty sure they told her last week they wanted to see more solo skating #dancingonice.”
A second then echoed: “I love Mollie but that was overmarked #dancingonice #doi.”
“Mollie still being carried around and scores 9s! How she keeps getting through week after week beats me,” penned a third.
“9.0 for Mollie and Colin. Are they watching something different?!” asked a fourth.
While a fifth pleaded: “Ice skate on your own mollie please… the others get told why dont she…”
And a sixth added: “I agree with Chris about Mollie – there were a few jolty moments I loved the Headbanger though and Mollie & Colin are a brilliant couple.”

ANTONY has continued his stunning form since joining Real Betis – leaving Manchester United fans furious.
The Brazilian, 24, notched up another assist as Betis took on Getafe in LaLiga on Sunday.

The on-loan Manchester United forward broke away after beating two men for paceAntony took his team down the field before cutting inside onto his left footThe Brazilian found Isco in the box, who bundled into the bottom corner
Antony joined the Spanish side last month on loan from the Red Devils.
The £85million flop infamously left Old Trafford after clocking up more yellow cards than goals over the past three seasons.
But he looks like a player reborn under Manuel Pelligrini at Betis.
Antony has netted three times since heading to Spain on loan, bagging three Player of the Match awards in the process.
And he turned provider for pal Isco during Sunday’s contest at Getafe’s Coliseum.
Antony picked up the ball well inside his own half, beating two men for pace as he burst forward.
The Brazilian cut back onto his left foot, before finding Isco in the box with a perfect pass.
Former Real Madrid star Isco did the rest, giving Antony his second assist since leaving Old Trafford.

One Man Utd fan raged: “This is getting out of hand, Antony is actually cooking in La Liga.”
Another said: “Antony deserves an apology. My man is on fire. POTM for sure atm.”
While a third claimed: “Something must be in the waters in Old Trafford.”
And a fourth joked: “Love the look of this Antony, we should sign him!”
But they fought back late on thanks to a stunning Bruno Fernandes free-kick and volley from Manuel Ugarte, who bagged his first goal since his summer arrival from PSG.
Amorim’s men were then lucky to escape a penalty in the final moments after VAR overturned the decision.
SunSport’s Ken Lawrence has given his ratings of the Manchester United team…
Andre Onana – 7
United needed him with his game-head on, and his 93rd-minute stop saved a point.
Noussair Mazraoui 69′ – 4
Looked seriously uncomfortable on the right side of the back three – forced there because of a defensive injury crisis
Harry Maguire – 4
Out-jumped by Doucoure as the midfielder grabbed Everton’s second and was generally all over the place.
Matthijs de Ligt – 4
Nowhere for Beto’s opener, completely missing attempted clearance and got away with a 93rd-minute penalty call.
Diogo Dalot – 5
At least shows willing. Which is more than could be said for some of his team mates at Goodison.
Manuel Ugarte – 7
Spent most of the game stranded in United’s midfield morass but salvation came with a brilliant strike.
Casemiro 62′ – 2
The Brazilian is beginning to look like the world’s oldest 32-year-old —he’s become a genuine irrelevance.
Patrick Dorgu – 6
Made a determined start down the left flank but that enthusiasm was slowly but surely sucked out of him.
Bruno Fernandes – 8
His free kick was genuine class and once he was dropped deeper started controlling the game.
Joshua Zirkzee – 4
At £36.5M you would expect an element of ball control but the Dutchman used as a joint No 10 just looks lost.
Rasmus Hojlund 69′ – 3
Not so much a desperate Dane, more a despairing one although it would help if he had some support.
Subs:
Alejandro Garnacho 62′ – 7
Injected some desperately needed pace and passion.
Leny Yoro 69′ – 6
Should have been on much earlier.
Chido Obi-Martin 69′ – 5
The 17-year-old has a presence for sure.
Antony told AS: “I’ve had a great time in Manchester too, I won two titles and I’m very grateful.
“But when I say that I’ve found myself here, I’m happy, the people are like us in Brazil. The sun helps a lot.
“I’m very happy here. I wake up every day with a smile and that’s very important.
“I have a lot of friends who played here and they left me very calm so that I could sign here.
“I was sure in my heart that coming here was the best decision for me. I hope to continue like this.”
