Brooke Vincent on Sophie's chances with Jenna
Over on the ITV official Corrie site, Brooke Vincent talks about Sophie's new romance with her physiotherapist, Jenna. Brooke says that Sophie has already got a "vibe" that Jenna may be a lesbian and her own crush on Jenna has been growing as she's been recovering with Jenna's professional help. Sophie thinks that Jenna may reciprocate her feelings but what we, the viewer, have seen could also point just to a friendship.
Sophie takes matters into her own hands, makes the leap of faith and kisses Jenna but they're interrupted by Kevin who blows his top. Not willing to listen to Sophie who insists she instigated the kiss, Brooke explains: "Kevin blames Jenna because he is embarrassed that he made a pass at a woman who is clearly not interested in men. He can’t blame Sophie, she is his daughter, he just feels stupid and he wants to blame someone. "
Sophie is being naive, though, thinking love can conquer all but we all know Sophie isn't the brightest button in the box. If I was writing this storyline, I'd have Jenna be a little attracted and flattered but back off firmly, recognizing that Sophie's crush is something that can happen in these types of situations ("transferrence" anyone?) The storyline will only serve to introduce Jenna as a lesbian but she ends up being Sophie's friend instead, possibly introducing her to a younger friend as a blind date.
But they won't listen to me, will they? Will they heck!

I find this story line toe-curling. It's up there with Karl/Sunita. That might make a good blog: most embarrassing Corrie relationships.
I agree. It doesn't make ANY sense that an educated professional would risk everything for inarticulate Sophie??

It doesn't, no. I see sophie's crush as a normal schoolgirl crush. I can understand why she would develop one. But Jenna would have nothing in common with her. At least Sian and Sophie were of an age and had similar interests.
I too can understand how Sophie might develop feelings for Jenna but I can't imagine Jenna would allow anything to develop out of them. I also agree with Humpty that someone should do a "most embarrassing Corrie couples" post.
Just thank the dear Lord that remote controls have fast forward and mute buttons. Unwatchable.
Yep this is going to be a toe curler - who thinks up this utter crapola??
"Kevin is embarrassed that he made a pass at a woman who is not interested in men". Not that she is 25 years younger or a health professional caring for his daughter.
They clearly do think that we viewers have pea brains, if they imagine we are going to swallow this guff.
