Fans of Coronation Street were thrilled after former co-stars Alison King and Faye Brookes reunited years after sharing the screen together as the iconic Connor sisters.
The emotional reunion quickly sparked excitement online, with viewers calling for Kate Connor’s return to Weatherfield after seeing the beloved duo together again.
Alison King and Faye Brookes Reunite After Seven Years
While Alison King continues to play fan-favorite Carla Connor on Coronation Street, Faye Brookes left the ITV soap in 2019 after portraying Kate Connor for four years.
Kate was introduced as Carla’s long-lost half-sister and quickly became a popular character among viewers. During her time on the show, Faye earned widespread praise for her performance and even won Best Newcomer at the National Television Awards in 2017.
After departing the soap, the actress explained she wanted to explore new opportunities and believed her character needed a break from the cobbles.
Former Corrie Stars Support Faye’s New Theatre Role
Since leaving Coronation Street, Faye Brookes has returned to her musical theatre roots. Before television fame, she performed in productions including Grease, The Sound of Music, and Legally Blonde The Musical, where she starred as Elle Woods.
More recently, she has appeared in the UK tour of Chicago as Roxie Hart and is now starring in the stage production Double Double at the Barn Theatre in Cirencester.
The play also features former Corrie actor Daniel Brocklebank, who recently exited the soap earlier this year.
Over the weekend, several current and former cast members traveled to support the production, including Sue Cleaver and Julia Goulding.
