Brookside Legend Joins Coronation Street to Help Theo and Danielle’s Divorce Drama

by

Amidst the turbulent times surrounding Theo’s (James Cartwright) and Danielle’s (Natalie Anderson) separation, it appears that a fresh face might be making an appearance on Coronation Street with the aim of guiding our troubled duo through the rough seas ahead. I can’t wait to see how this new character will bring hope and change to their lives!

It has come to light that the ex-actress from Brookside, Sarah White, is set to make an appearance on Coronation Street, taking on the part of a peacemaker between characters Theo and Danielle. These scenes are scheduled to be broadcast towards the end of this year.

For two decades, from November 1982 to 2003, the groundbreaking soap opera known as Brookside captivated audiences with a series of compelling and dramatic storylines.

Besides dealing with numerous significant plotlines such as domestic abuse, murder, and sexuality, it also introduced many memorable characters, including none other than Bev Dixon.

Reflecting on the past, it’s clear that Bev was vocal and deeply emotional. She found herself entangled in romantic situations, first engaging in a relationship with a married man named Ron (Vince Earl), followed by an affair with his son, Mike (Paul Byatt).

It seems that White might not be playing such an intense or central part when she comes back to the soap opera world, as specifics about her character are still kept secret at this time.

As reported by The Sun, White is at present shooting her segments that are set to be broadcasted later in the year, so let’s stay alert and wait for them!

After her notable performance on Brookside, White has since appeared in God’s Own Country and Moving On. However, her latest role in Coronation Street signifies her comeback to the world of daytime dramas (or soap operas).

Although white is often associated with familiar faces in Brookside, it’s not limited to just one. This year, Suzanne Collins made an appearance on the soap, reprising her role as part of a storyline involving Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine) at the nursery.

From a movie buff’s perspective, I’m eagerly anticipating how Theo and Danielle’s story unfolds in the next chapter, particularly with the introduction of White’s intriguing character. Here’s hoping this new addition brings about a positive resolution for them both as they navigate through their divorce.

Previously this year, spectators witnessed Theo struggling with his affection towards Danielle and Todd Grimshaw (played by Gareth Pierce). However, matters reached a climax when Danielle discovered the two sharing a kiss in Underworld, leading to an increase in demands for their separation.

In the narrative I’m following, Coronation Street has brought attention to the heart-wrenching matter of conversion therapy – a distressing practice where individuals from the LGBTQ+ community are subjected to emotional and psychological torment in an attempt to make them abandon their sexual orientation.

Expressing the deep-rooted religious values within his family, Theo additionally shared that his faith unfortunately became a source of anguish for him, leading to the distressing experience of undergoing conversion therapy.

As a passionate cinephile, I must admit I was utterly oblivious to the existence of conversion therapy. To me, it seemed like a concept straight out of an American film, or perhaps a dystopian narrative. However, I’ve come to learn that it’s not just a plot device; it’s a harsh reality, and it’s truly disheartening to know it exists. It’s crucial we educate ourselves about these issues and strive for a world where such practices are eradicated.

Just as you can’t decide the color of your hair, eyes, or height, you also don’t have control over your sexuality. It’s preposterous to suggest otherwise.
