Brooke talks about her recent break from Coronation Street when she took time out to star in a stage play with Ruth Madoc.
Asked if she's back in Corrie for good now, Brooke says: "It's an amazing job. I work with amazing people and it feels as if I've come home. But I'm not as scared as I was to say that I might go off from time to time and do other things. I might be like Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter Barlow, and dip in and out of the show.
"Working in theatre means that I've come back to Corrie with a different mindset and it's made me want to better my character here."
She also talks about dating Manchester City footballer Kean Bryan and says she gets a bit fed up with the way Sophie's lesbianism has been portrayed with the show.
"It doesn't need to be brought up or written about every time we do a scene," she says. "It's not as if every lesbian fancies every other lesbian they meet!"
