Brooke, 31, is famed for playing Sophie Webster, the daughter of Kevin and Sally, on the cobbles. Sophie had a number of memorable storylines, making history with the soap's first ever lesbian kiss alongside co-star Sasha Parkinson back in 2010.

Fast forward the years and her character entered the restaurant business after being hired by Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King) to manage Speed Daal. A year later, Sophie said goodbye to Weatherfield and went travelling, funded by inheritance money from her Aunty Vi.

Brooke first joined the soap when she was just 11 years old, leaving after 15 years in 2019 to have her first child. The star, from Audenshaw, and footballer boyfriend Kean Bryan are now proud parents of two sons: Mexx, 4, and Monroe, 2.

Meanwhile on Drama Queens, Brooke spoke candidly about being a mother of two. Seeing the star on our screens once again left viewers making the same demand.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans asked for Sophie to make a return to Weatherfield. @brodenisbored said: "bring sophie webster back immediately #DramaQueens" as @soapwikijohn asked: "Can Sophie come home? Because DAMN Brooke looks amazing. #DramaQueens".

Unfortunately for Corrie fanatics, a comeback isn't looking very likely. Quizzed on a return to the soap in 2021, Brooke admitted she wasn't ready just yet as she adapted to being a mum of two and didn't want "major distractions".

But last month, the actress has said she is yet to be asked back on the Cobbles, despite the door being open. During a chat with her co-star Mike Toolan on Hits Radio, she was asked how how the cast reacted to her departure.

Brooke explained: "Well, I left to have a baby, I didn't officially have like a leaving do. Everyone didn't message to say, 'Oh Sorry you're leaving'." Keen to know more, her co-star then asked: "Oh, so the door is still open for Sophie Webster's return?" After confirming this was the case, he added: "So why haven't you gone back?"

She replied: "Well they never rang me to come back," which prompted the pair to laugh. Brooke then jokingly pleaded: "If you're listening, I'm about to finish this job now!"

The actress shared the update while filling in for Gemma Atkinson, who returns to the show on Wednesday April 17 after going on maternity leave. Gemma welcomed her second child, a son named Thiago, with her partner, Strictly star Gorka Marquez in July.

Brooke is now set to star in The Syndicate play, a new stage drama is based on Kay Mellor's BBC show which entertained millions of viewers of over four series.

Drama Queens airs on Wednesdays at 9pm on ITVBe and ITVX.
