Coronation Street fans may soon have reason to revisit a storyline left in limbo, as former star Brooke Vincent, who played Sophie Webster, has opened up in a revealing new interview. While she has spent years away from the cobbles, her recent reflections suggest a powerful pull back to the place where her character’s journey remains unfinished. But just as she speaks of home, familiarity, and something she deeply misses, she hints at a decision that made us curious.
Life Beyond Weatherfield and a Graceful Exit
Brooke Vincent, beloved for her long-running portrayal of Sophie Webster, quietly stepped away from Coronation Street after her final on-screen appearance in 2019. Although her exit wasn’t marked by dramatic farewells, she officially confirmed her departure in 2022. During her time away, she dedicated herself to family life, embracing motherhood with her three children and stepping back from the relentless pace of soap production.
She often reflected on the relief of having time for her loved ones, free from strict filming routines and long days on set. Yet, even as she explored life outside Weatherfield, she never turned her back on what the show meant to her. The bond between actress and character remained deeply rooted, quietly waiting in the background.
“Corrie Is Home”: A Hint at Return?
In a recent conversation with The Mirror, Brooke openly reflected on her connection to the show, confessing that Corrie still feels like home. She explained that if she were ever asked to return, she would love to go back and see her old castmates, many of whom she considers family. She described Coronation Street as a special place to work, filled with warmth and familiarity.
Brooke acknowledged how becoming a mother has reshaped her life, but noted that with her children now older and more independent, she feels more capable of taking on work again. She spoke about missing the adult conversations, the routine, and the unique energy that only a long-running soap like Corrie offers. Although she has experienced different work environments, she emphasised that Coronation Street remains a huge part of her identity.
As long-time viewers know, Sophie Webster left behind emotional threads and family ties still present on the street. A potential return could reopen old storylines and introduce new chapters, especially with her on-screen family still deeply involved in Corrie life.
