The Responder fans were delighted to see various former Brookside stars in the same episode of the hit BBC show.
In the latest instalment of The Responder, (which aired Sunday 19th May) we saw Martin Freeman trying to track down a man named Vernon.
He met two women while searching through a house where the suspect might have been - and fans were delighted to see Sheila Grant and Jackie Corkhill back together on screen.
'The Responder has just become full-on brookside 2024,' wrote one fan on X.

Creator, Writer and Executive Producer Tony Schumacher said of working on the news series, "It's just been a joy writing new characters for actors like Sue Johnston and giving audiences the opportunity to see her in a role they have never seen her play before."
The Responder continues next Sunday 26th May on BBC One.
