Brookside fans swoon over 'Jackie Corkhill' as TV family reunites

Brookside fans have been full of compliments for a former soap actress after the Corkhill family were snapped together again some 20 years after the soap finished.

Claire Sweeney shared a photo of herself and her former on-screen mum and dad, Sue Jenkins who played Jackie Corkhill, and Dean Sullivan who played Jimmy Corkhill. Claire, who played Lindsey on and off for 12 years, said it had been "emotional".

The three stars looked very glamorous in the photo, which appears to have been taken at this weekend's British Soap Awards.

Louise said: "Omg my favourite family ever", and Jeannie said: "Great photo". Karen said: "YAAAAAAAAS! My fave Brookie family back together. Love this" [sic].
