Sophie and Sian snog voted top 4th lesbian kiss of all time

A snog between Coronation Street lesbians Sophie and Sian, played by Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson, has been voted 4th top lesbian kiss of all time.

The poll in The Guardian has been compiled by fab writer Julie Bindel and she says this about Sophie and Sian's kiss:

"Four belongs to the Coronation Street kiss between best friends Sophie and Sian last year. Chatting about their disappointments in love.

Suddenly, Sophie tells Sian: "You are far more important to me than any lad." A shocked-looking Sian gasps and runs out of the house, only to return later to give Sophie a brilliant, heartfelt snog."

Spoiler: Frank Foster walks away free from rape trial

Say it ain't so!  There's a Coronation Street spoiler in today's Daily Star that says Frank Foster will be cleared of raping Carla Connor when the trial takes place in the New Year.

The Star says that Frank will walk free from court after a jury finds him not guilty of raping Carla.

Apparantly, Frank’s ­lawyers set about ruining Carla's reputation. They claim she has made up her rape story against her Frank because she wanted him out of the factory. She is questioned about her relationship with Peter and it’s suggested that they were lovers rather than just good friends. ­Carla’s denials are blown out of the water when a private ­investigator hired by Frank produces pictures of her kissing Peter.

The court is in chaos when Peter’s wife Leanne, screams: “You’re a liar, Carla.”

Well, this is unexpected news, I think. I thought he'd be found guilty and Carla would be able to put this ordeal behind her.  But it does leave the door open for someone to bump off Frank and as we blogged here, could Rosie be the one to kill him off?

Guess who starts work at Frank's factory on Corrie next week?

Proving that the recession hasn't made the bottom drop out of the knicker market, Frank Foster's factory takes on a new machinist next week, says today's new issue of  Inside Soap magazine. 

Actress Lisa George returns to Coronation Street as Beth and soon gets a new job stitching pants for freaky Frank.  She'll also be the one to spot Sally and Frank snogging at the factory, but will she spill the beans?

Actress Lisa George was last seen on Coronation Street back in August as Steve McDonald's nightmare date in the Bistro. She brought along her mad-eyed son Craig, who looks like a little gem in the making and I do hope we'll be seeing more of him with the return of Beth too.

Eagle-eyed Corrie fans might recognise Lisa's face as the character of Beth is her fourth stint on the soap as a different character.

In 2007 she played a character called Jacqui, in 2005 she played WPC Stonall/Family Liaison Officer for 5 episodes, and in 1997 she played Nurse Brampton
