Coronation Street's Sally Carman tells co-star 'love you' as they show support over new role away from cobbles

Coronation Street star Sally Carman-Duttine has shared her love for her co-star as she supported her latest move. The actress has actually been supported by a number of her castmates as she takes on a role away from the cobbles.

Sally, who is known for playing Abi Webster in the ITV soap, revealed last month (September) that she’ll be showing her off-camera skills as she’s bagged the position of director for an exciting new project. The soap star will be directing a stage production that will appear in JB Shorts Festival at Manchester’s 53 Two this month (October).

Sharing a post online about the production at the time, Sally wrote in the caption on Instagram: "Very happy to be directing @lindsaywilliams8900 piece for the mighty @jbshortsplays this October at @53two. It runs from the 3rd to the 14th - be good to see you."

Ahead of the play's run getting underway, Sally took to Instagram with some pictures of herself in action in her director role in the rehearsal room. "Having an absolute blast working with this fabulous bunch on @jbshortsplays," she started the caption of her post. "Thank you @winniegrace.s @audaciouskempo @seanchriscole @_bensherlock for breathing life into these characters, I couldn’t be happier."
