Corrie stars leave the cobbles for a night to support Brooke Vincent as she makes her stage debut
Brooke stars as a streetwise teenager in the 1960s-set play Be My Baby
THERE must have been no one left in Wetherfield on Tuesday night as some of Coronation Street's biggest stars turned out in style for Brooke Vincent's theatre debut.
Brooke - who is taking a break from playing Sophie Webster - was supported by her relatives and her soap family at the Salford premiere of Be My Baby.
Some of the soap's most well-known faces made their way from the Corrie studios to The Lowry Theatre to cheer Brooke on in her role of streetwise teenager Queenie who is sent to a church-run mother and baby home in the 1960s.
Sally Dynevor and Michael Le Vell, who play Brooke's soap mum and dad Sally and Kevin Webster were so proud to see Brooke on stage, telling the : "Everyone was really excited to come tonight, she is such a well loved member of the cast.
"We've worked together since she was 8 years old so it has been a long time. I'm so proud of her."
Other Corrie stars at the premiere included Barbara Knox, who plays Rita, Catherine Tyldsley, Faye Brooks, Katie McGlynn and Sair Khan.
Faye, who starred on the West End before treading the cobbles said all the cast were "so proud" of Brooke.
Catherine, who recently tied the knot, said everyone was missing her while she's away from Corrie and added: "It's great for her as an actress, it keeps things fresh having those jobs in between Corrie, but we can't wait to have her back!"
Jennie McAlpine, who plays Fiz, has worked with Brooke for over a decade and said: "We're all dead proud of her, I've never done theatre before so I can only imagine how nervewracking it must be."
Brooke will be gone from Wetherfield for three months and now her exit storyline has finally been revealed and her dad doesn't take it well.
Sophie has been there for dad Kevin over the past few years, helping him raise his lovechild from his fling with Molly and helping out with the garage.
In scenes to be aired on October 14, Kevin tries to stop her from leaving to visit her sister Rosie in the US for three months.
Speaking on Lorraine, she said: “I want Rosie back.
“My years working with her were the best – we need to get her back!”
