The actress is going to star in theatre as a pregnant mum in a play based at The Lowry Theatre in Salford next year.
I am very happy to hear this news, not because it means less Sophie on our screens, but because it means that a young actress will have the most wonderful experience in live theatre. That can only do her career good and extend her acting experience.
The current storyline for Sophie with her helping dad Kevin at the garage is a good move for the character and I hope this story develops before Brooke leaves the show on her break.
Have a look at our list of other Corrie actors who are leaving, taking a break or joining the show.
