Anne Kirkbride’s name will remain on her dressing room door at Coronation Street as a tribute.
Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster on the soap, told
The Sun that it is a way for the crew and cast to protect the late actress’ legacy.
She told the newspaper: “Anne is still there, she is still around us.
“Every time we pass her dressing room we see her name and it has been decided that her name will stay there.
“Beverley (Callard, who plays Liz McDonald) has just moved into her dressing room with Anne’s name on the door as well.
“They were close friends, the legacy is still there. Her name will be kept there permanently.”

Anne lost her battle to cancer back in January at the age of 60. She starred in
Coronation Street as Deirdre Barlow for over 40 years.
According to reports show bosses are also planning a memorial for the soap icon but nothing has been decided as yet.
