Kate Connor (Faye Brooks)
Coronation Street newcomer Faye Brooks has discussed her upcoming same-sex storyline.
The upcoming storyline will see Brooks's character Kate Connor engaged to soldier Caz (Rhea Bailey).
Brooks, who will join Shane Ward as Aidan Connor and Richard Hawley as dad Johnny Connor, said that she didn't want to pigeonhole her character.
"It's a challenge. I didn't want to pigeonhole her into playing a stereotype," the actress said of playing out a lesbian relationship.
Brooks's co-star Richard Hawley added: "You're not on this big coming out story because it's already happened."
The same-sex romance storyline will kick off when Caz is formally introduced into Corrie in November.
