Why you'll recognise Coronation Street actress Corrinne Wicks amid Kevin Webster plot

Coronation Street fans may spot a familiar face on the Cobbles in the coming weeks, as actress Corrinne Wicks debuts as a new character.

Thought to be a love interest of Kevin Webster, the charter appeared in a backstage snap from filming on the ITV soap’s Instagram on Saturday.

In the scene, she’s alongside Kevin, his daughter Sophie Webster, Sophie’s partner Paula Martin and another character rumoured for romance with Kevin, Abi Franklin.

While details have yet to be revealed about the role, she and Kevin both appear dressed up in The Bistro so it’s likely they’re on a date.

But there’s a reason you may recognise the newcomer and the actress who plays her, with her having appeared in another soap not that long ago.

Between 2010 and 2011, Corrinne was on Emmerdale, and she played the role of Ella Hart, the ex-wife of Declan Macey.

She’d had an affair with Jai Sharma during their marriage, and while on the soap she went on to have a fling with Adam Barton.

Ella was the mother of Adam’s girlfriend Mia Macey, who was revealed to be Jai’s daughter and not Declan’s - this secret as well as Adam’s fling with her own mother led to Mia leaving the villa.

The character was tragically killed off in a car accident off-screen in 2011.

Meanwhile, you might recognise actress Corrinne from a different role as she also starred in BBC daytime soap Doctors between 2000 and 2005.

Corrinne played Dr. Helen Thompson on the show, even starring alongside Paula actress Stirling Gallacher.

Other roles include a stint on The Bill back in 1998, and a role on Grange Hill in 1999.

Corrinne also appeared on Holby City three times between 1999 and 2009.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
