CORONATION Street’s cast looked worlds apart from their characters as they stepped out for the soap’s summer party last night.
The likes of new girls Stephanie Davis, Claire Sweeney, and stalwarts Tina O’Brien, Georgia Taylor and Bill Roache descended upon Manchester’s Ivy restaurant.

Abi Franklin actress Sally Carman, 42, swapped her character’s dowdy wardrobe for a glam white dress and heels.
She wore tinted rose specs and showed off her forearm tattoos that extended out of her sheer ruffled sleeves.
Show legend Tina stunned in a backless monochrome minidress for the do, while newly-blonde Stephanie looked glam in a leafy dress with a cut out middle.
Mollie Gallagher rocked a gothic style in a long leather trench coat, and Dolly Rose Campbell wore a chic long-sleeve dress with red buttons and Dr Martens boots.
Former Brookside star Claire wore a Barbie pink halter-neck dress, while Toyah Battersby star Georgia also went for pink but with a flowery motif.
It was a night to savour for Stephanie, who is realising a long-held dream t be on the soap.
Just two days after signing with a new acting agent this year, she landed the role of married seductress Courtney Vance.
Mum-of-one Stephanie, 30, said: “You know when you have that feeling, ‘This is too good to be true, everything is happening too quick’? This was my first audition back after three years.
“As soon as I read the brief for the character I was like, ‘This is mine. This is mine’.
“I did the audition then went through this wave of emotions.
“I do believe everything happens for a reason, but my first audition back? No one gets that.”
It is an opportunity she has been dreaming about since childhood.
She said: “I wrote a poem when I was about 13 or 14, which read, ‘One day I will be on the cobbles of Coronation Street’.
“My mum had put it in her bedside drawer and got it out the other day.
“She said, ‘How amazing is that?
“You wrote that as a child as one of your dreams and now you’re doing it’.
“It really is a dream come true.”
