Faye Brookes has promised a happy ending when she leaves ‘Coronation Street’ in September.
The soap star- who has played Kate Connor on the cobbles since 2015 – has confirmed when her exit will be, and said her character will get a break from "grief and sadness" for her final storyline.
She told The Sun Online: "I’m really grateful for the ending ‘Corrie’ have given me because it’s a positive one rather than grief and sadness, which Kate’s felt a lot of."
Kate’s fiancee Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia) was killed on their wedding day moments after they exchanged their vows while she lay dying on the factory floor, so viewers will be glad to hear she will be happy before she leaves.
Asked if she was keeping any secrets about her farewell, the 31-year-old actress said: "Only my ending, but it’s not on until September time so stay tuned."
Faye is glad the door is open for a ‘Corrie’ comeback one day, but hinted she would like to return to the world of musical theatre.
She added: "I’m really grateful to ‘Corrie’ for leaving it open ended because it means I could come back, but I might go on to do more television. Who knows if I could go back to my old roots of theatre?"
Faye first announced her exit in April, as she explained her character "needs a break for a little while".
She tweeted at the time: "Thanks to everyone for your amazing support, but after 4 fabulous years in Weatherfield it’s time for me to explore new opportunities, I’ve loved playing Kate Connor, but she needs a break for a little while and so with a song in my heart I’m off to pastures new. #kana #corrie (sic)"
