SHOCKING NEWS JUST DROPPED! Coronation Street casts Brookside legend in new role

Former Brookside star Sarah White has signed on the dotted line for a Coronation Street guest stint.

The actress, 56, appeared as Bev Dixon in the Channel 4 soap across four separate stints between 1993 and the final ever episode in 2003.

With 618 episodes under her belt, Sarah is a real soap legend – and later went on to have three parts in the now axed BBC daytime medical drama Doctors.

She also starred in the 2017 film God’s Own Country, and more recently in the final series of Jimmy McGovern series Moving On.

Now, it has been reported that she’s heading to the cobbles later in the year.

Sarah’s character will be entwined in Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwright) bitter divorce from wife Danielle (Natalie Anderson), who he left for a new life with Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce).

His difficult upbringing was then explored, with Theo revealing that he had been put through conversion therapy.

Recent scenes have shown his behaviour become somewhat unpredictable, and his daughter Millie (Kaitlyn Early) has caused a multitude of issues.

After faking a pregnancy, she continued to try and drive a wedge between her father and Todd.

‘Sarah will be playing a mediator as part of Theo Silverton’s acrimonious divorce from wife Danielle,’ a source confirmed to The Sun.

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

Speaking of the story ‘I think at this point, we’re starting to spot some anger management issues on Theo’s part, at the very least.

‘There’s some flashes of anger that have left Todd shocked but equally, because he’s had that insight into the conversion therapy and where Theo is coming into this new life from, he’s perhaps willing to guide him through it.’

He continued: ‘He’s trying to be understanding of Theo. He’s been suppressing his sexuality for so long, Todd is trying to encourage him towards being someone that can be comfortable in their new gay identity.

‘I think Todd has spotted many things from Theo, but he still has the mindset that he can fix this and because of the love that’s there, he’s thinking they will get through it.
