OHMYGOSSIP — Faye Brookes is “proud” of her “epic love story” on ‘Coronation Street’.
The soap star – who plays Kate Connor on the cobbles – is delighted her alter ego’s relationship with Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia) is back on track, with the couple recently getting engaged after several months of drama.
She recently told The Sun’s Fabulous magazine: “It’s been a true love story, and I’m so proud of all the things we’ve accomplished together. And I also know that with the storyline we’ve been given, there’s nobody I could have done it with apart from Bhavna.
“It’s been all or nothing on every level, from the moment we met on screen to the moment she’s gone. Just an epic, epic love story.”
Despite the on-screen couple being in a better place now, it doesn’t look like the characters will get a happy ending, with actress Bhavna set to leave the soap later this year.
Faye added: “The look on her face, I was like, ‘Oh no, she’s got something really awful to tell me.’ I really felt for her because she was nervous to tell me, but I said, ‘This is what you need to do. That’s your choice and it’s your career.’ ”
She also revealed that while she doesn’t blame Bhavna for stepping away from the cobbles to pursue other projects, she doesn’t have any plans to follow her co-star out of the exit door.
She said: “I don’t resent her for any of it. She’s gonna fly no matter what she does. But I’m not going anywhere! It’s not my time yet.”
