Coronation Street legends who played iconic duo reunite in new snap
Katherine Kelly and Julie Hesmondhalgh, two Coronation Street stars, have reunited.
Our hearts are full!
Katherine and Julie worked together on the ITV soap from 2006, when Becky McDonald started working at Underworld alongside Hayley Cropper.
Hayley and Roy (David Neilson) could never have children but throughout their time on the cobbles together, they took in many characters that needed a little bit of a helping hand – including Becky.
After completing some voluntary work with ex-offenders, Hayley decided to give Becky a chance and offered her a place to stay.
Despite a few bumps in the road, Becky grew very attached to Roy and Hayley, admiring their honesty and loyalty.
Katherine remains great friends with Julie and David following her departure from the soap. Recently, she shared some adorable snaps on Instagram featuring her and Julie in what appears to be a recording studio.
The two stars are hugging and smiling at the camera. Katherine wrote in the caption: ‘A day spent with one of my FAVOURITE human beings deserves a place on the grid @jhesmondhalgh.’
Following Hayley’s death and Becky’s departure, Julie and Katherine have gone on to appear in a variety of dramas.
Julie played one of the main characters in series three of Broadchurch and has also appeared in dramas including Mr Bates vs The Post Office and The A Word.
Since Katherine’s time in Weatherfield, she’s also featured in a variety of shows – Innocent, Cheat and Criminal to name but a few.
A few days ago, Julie gave a heartfelt speech at the British Soap Awards about her colleague David Neilson, before he was presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award.
