Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent)

Are you implying working in Dev's corner shop is not a career ???

It's a job. Some people never want a career. Nice to see someone doing a normal job I think.

Am I the only one who thinks Brooke is amazing,,,, she has been on corrie just over ten years and grown p with the show, she has had some really good stories to do as well,,,, I loved the learning she was a lesbian and dealing with that, falling in love with her best friend and having to deal with that also, hiding the fact she was a lesbian, and then the accident and all.... She is a strong character she has just not been given the right story lines after Sasha left,,,, until maddie (Amy) arrived that is, I love maddie and have done from day one, I know she got a lot of bad press at first and that's not fair, this was her first acting role... But she has grown to be liked and now will be sadly missed.... Think Sasha should come back but the problem there is if she would stay in the soap cause I think we need a long term girlfriend for Sophie and a child for her to deal with the grown up world... So I am team Brooke and she can do no wrong I'm my eyes xx

I like Sophie too.

they all do normal jobs, don't they ? Factory, pub, kebab shop, Dev's , cab office. All normal jobs.

Yes, and that's good. I was just making the point that big careers don't matter to everyone. I don't think it would make Sophie more interesting.

Kevin Webster is about to see a lot more of Sophie in Coronation Street.

Actress Brooke Vincent has revealed that Sophie will leave her job at Dev's shop to work for her dad.

As Sophie gets ready for the service, Kevin asks her if she is having doubts about going through with the wedding. Sophie assures him that she is doing the right thing

"Sophie starts bossing her dad about," Vincent told Radio Times. "She'll be working for Kevin's expanded business, and we see her grow up a bit."

After Sophie lost her partner Maddie in the Victoria Court fire, Vincent is pleased that her future storylines will focus more on her professional life.

"We'll see her working in the garage rather than getting another girlfriend and something else going wrong," explained the actress. "I would like for her to have another girlfriend in the future, but I think it's good that we're seeing a different side to her as she advances her career."

Her new role as a "bossy businesswoman" did come with a downside for Vincent, though: "I am quite gutted about the fact that I'm going to be outside all the time and will get really cold."

Coronation Street topped the soap ratings on Wednesday (September 9) as Tracy Barlow was arrested for the Victoria Court Fire.

Digital Spy recently spoke to Michael Le Vell and Brooke Vincent about the shock return of Jenny Bradley (Sally Ann Matthews) and the upcoming live episode.

It's a coincidence that we discussed the possibility of Sophie focussing on a career instead of the next girlfriend a few months back. It sounds like a good move for the character.

Perhaps -Kevin will open a branch abroad
(Yorks?) and she could work there!!

More seriously -it would be an improvement.
It would be good to see a young female
character have a career- in time could
start own business?

Her relationships got very???. A male
character behaving as she has done would
have received more criticism?

Which just leaves "the voice"- which as she
doesnt seem to speak like that when interviewed
personally- has either decided or been advised
is appropriate for the part. !!!!
