A Coronation Street Webster member is set to make her return to the cobbles, but there’s a surprising development on the horizon.
Brooke rose to stardom portraying Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Sally Webster’s (Sally Dynevor) second daughter, Sophie, first appearing on screens back in 2004.
Alongside elder sister Rosie (Helen Flanagan), it’s safe to say the pair swiftly became beloved characters amongst audiences and featured in numerous major plot lines.
From grappling with her sexual identity to the devastating loss of Maddie (Amy James-Kelly), her journey in Weatherfield was packed with emotional turmoil. Nevertheless, in 2019, Sophie bid farewell to the famous street, reports the Daily Star.
Viewers will remember that Sophie chose to depart Weatherfield for a travelling adventure after inheriting funds from her Aunty Vi.
In her farewell scene, she was shown departing in a cab following emotional goodbyes to her family and friends.
Since her exit, the character hasn’t appeared on screen – though she’s been referenced on multiple occasions. Just last week, Kevin jetted off on a break following his cancer ordeal to spend time with Sophie.
More recently, actress Sophie captured a photograph with an admirer, and she seemed to be close to the Corrie studios in Salford, Manchester.
On a Coronation Street Facebook enthusiast group, one fan shared the image, commenting it was “great to catch up with” the Sophie Webster actress Brooke.
The upload instantly triggered rumours amongst supporters that Brooke had returned to film scenes for the programme.
One enthusiast pondered: “Is Brooke coming back to Corrie?” whilst another questioned: “Is Sophie coming back to Corrie.”
However, the user who posted the photo clarified: “Doing podcast with Emmerdale’s Danny Miller,” seemingly referring to the soap podcast, Off Script… Coronation Street and Emmerdale, hosted by Emmerdale’s Kelvin Fletcher, who portrayed Andy Sugden.
On the podcast, Kelvin engages in conversation with soap stars from both Emmerdale and Coronation Street. Previous guests include Danny Miller, Sam Aston, Nicola Wheeler and Vicky Myers.
