'Bring back Curly and Emma ❤️', wrote one fan in the comment section, as another added: 'Awh wish u come back to corrie'. Another suggested that the pair make an epic return as landlords, writing: 'I think u should both come back to Corrie ….. take over the rovers return….x'. Police sergeant Emma, portrayed by Angela, began on the soap in 2000 and left in 2003 - after the character was offered a promotion in Newcastle. While Kevin was on the cobbles for longer after arriving in 1983, with the pair sharing one child together, Ben. Angela also reunited with Corrie star Jason Done, who came out to support Kevin in the production too. Sharing a selfie with the actor, she wrote: 'Me and blurry @done_jason can't wait to see ya @realkevinkennedy and all the cast @rockofages'. Since departing the soap two decades ago, Kevin has taken to the screen with roles in Holby City and Mrs. Browns Boys, alongside his on-stage endeavours.
