The
youngest daughter of Kevin and Sally and since Brooke Vincent took up the role
in 2004 Sophie has become her own character. She’s pretended to be pregnant,
converted to Christianity and became the first lesbian character on Corrie. She’s
portrayed as strong-willed, determined and expresses sarcasm towards her
parents, her sister Rosie, busybody Norris and employer Dev. After dating Ben
Richardson, she discovered her true sexuality when she fell for best friend
Sian Powers in 2010. They became engaged and planned to marry in 2011 but
Sophie had cold feet following her attraction to Amber Kalirai. Sian left the
street and since then Sophie seems lost, especially since Rosie left for London
earlier this year.
