Helen Flanagan supported by former Corrie stars in Bolton

The former Coronation Street star, best known for playing Rosie Webster, took her last bow in The Memory of Water at the Octagon on February 21, cheered on by her former on-screen mum and sister.

Sally Dynevor, who has played Sally Webster since 1986, and Brooke Vincent, who portrayed Sophie Webster for 15 years, reunited with Helen away from the cobbles as they attended the closing night of the darkly comic family drama.

The trio shared many of Corrie’s most memorable Webster family storylines over the years, from teenage rebellion and family fallouts to illness and relationship drama, making the Bolton reunion a nostalgic moment for fans.

The Webster women’s reunion came as Helen completed her run in Shelagh Stephenson’s The Memory of Water, a poignant and sharply funny play centred on three sisters who reunite at their childhood home on the eve of their mother’s funeral.

The drama explores themes of grief, sibling rivalry and the fragility of memory, including the impact of their mother’s Alzheimer’s, blending biting humour with emotional revelations.

The production’s closing night brought a familiar Coronation Street reunion to Bolton, as Dynevor and Vincent turned out to support their former co-star.

For fans of the long-running ITV soap, it marked a full-circle moment – with Flanagan returning to her North West roots on stage at one of the region’s best-known theatres.
