She discussed the cottage with Chesney, who also encouraged her to go, following a challenging few months on the cobbles. Corrie enthusiasts were gutted as news broke that Gemma’s taking a break from the cobbles. A fan gushed on a Corrie Facebook group: “She is playing her character so well and going through hell.”

“Can’t blame her for needing a breather to find herself again,” another chimed in, while a third shared: “Hope she comes back soon,” with a sad face emoji tagging along. Another remarked: “Seems a bit sudden.”
Dolly-Rose Campbell, adored by viewers for her portrayal of Gemma, has a backstory as interesting as her on-screen persona. Before her acting career skyrocketed, she was slinging drinks as a bartender – skills that served her well at the Rovers Return.

Reflecting on her past gigs, she once shared: “I’ve worked behind a bar in real life, it was before Coronation Street when I worked in radio. I did hospitality and bar work.” The actress had a serendipitous moment after auditioning for the role of Gemma Winter; she toured Weatherfield and fatefully learned she snagged the part during the visit.
Recalling the experience in an interview, Dolly revealed: “I’d had an audition before the tour but I wasn’t expecting anything. While we were walking around my friend said, ‘Imagine if you got a job on it’ and I was saying that would never happen. Just a couple of days later I got a call saying I had the part.”
