Sarah’s character will try to mediate between Theo and Danielle 

Actress Sarah White played Bev Dixon for a decade on Brookside until it was axed in 2003.

And now The Sun can exclusively reveal she has signed up for a brief stint on the cobbles.

A source said: “Sarah will be playing a mediator as part of Theo Silverton’s acrimonious divorce from wife Danielle.

“She’s filming now and will be seen on screen later this year.”

Sarah has also appeared in Doctors and critically-acclaimed film God’s Own Country since leaving Brookside.

She will join the storyline alongside former Emmerdale star Natalie Anderson who plays Danielle in the soap.

“I’m loving my time here at Coronation Street, it’s fantastic,” she said recently.

“There’s a real nostalgia with Coronation Street, some of the most incredible actors have tread the cobbles so for me personally it’s a huge honour to follow those footsteps and be a tiny part of its history.

“I’m really enjoying myself, I’ve got some great friends here and it’s just a joy. To be part of that soap legacy, even a teeny part, is such an honour when you’ve grown up with it.

“Back in the day Raquel and Curly, Jack and Vera, Deirdre/Ken and Mike were all these amazing icons that many of us working in the genre today really looked up to as we set out.”

Speaking about her character, she said: “Danielle is a very interesting character, she’s very layered, you never really know what you’re going to get, you think she’s going to be one thing then she turns out to be another, which is really fun to play.

“It’s great for me to play something different, going into all those different facets of her has been really exciting.”
