Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent is keen to return to the cobbles, she has revealed. The Sophie Webster actress was at the forefront of some huge storylines during her 15 years on the show between 2004 and 2019. Some of the character’s biggest stories saw her become a Christian, as well as falling in love with best friend Sian Powers and realising that she was a lesbian.
