Could Kate Connor be heading back to Coronation Street? Fans are asking that very question after former Corrie star Faye Brookes hinted that a big announcement is on the way.
Comments about a new job and a trip to Manchester have sparked plenty of speculation. While nothing has been confirmed, viewers are already debating whether Kate should return to Weatherfield. Scroll down to see what fans are thinking!
Faye Brookes Teases Kate Connor Return Rumours
The rumours started when Faye Brookes revealed that she had a new job lined up. Fans also noticed that she mentioned being in “frantic talks” with her agent about a role. To add even more fuel to the speculation, she said she would be travelling to Manchester.
That was enough for some Coronation Street fans to wonder if Kate Connor could be making a return. One viewer said they would love to see Kate back because Carla could really use a family member around her. The fan also said they would like to find out how Kate has been coping in the years since Rana Habeeb’s death.
Not everyone was excited by the idea. One fan wrote, “I found her character absolutely insufferable tbh so I hope not personally.” Still, they admitted that if producers wanted to bring back one of Carla’s relatives, Kate would probably be a better choice than Bobby.
Coronation Street: Fans Question Whether Kate Would Come Back
While some fans are convinced a comeback could be on the cards, others believe people are jumping to conclusions. One viewer pointed out that Faye had already said she was starting a new job on Monday and would remain in London until July. They added that “not once does it sound like she’s returning to Corrie”. Another fan agreed, replying, “Exactly 💯”.
Other viewers noted that many television shows are filmed in Manchester. One fan reminded everyone, “A lot of shows are filmed in Manchester to be fair, I defo wouldn’t automatically assume it’s Corrie 🙈”. The possibility of Kate’s return has clearly divided the fanbase.
For now, there is no official word that Faye Brookes is returning to Coronation Street. However, recent comments have certainly got fans talking. Whether viewers would welcome Kate Connor back with open arms or prefer her to stay away, the rumours have already sparked a lively debate.
