Yes about time Corrie started moving on with the times.
I'm glad Sophie is getting more storylines these days. Brooke is really good :cheer:.
As long as it's handled properly it should be a good storyline for Sophie showing how she copes with her sexuality. It will be hard for the Websters to deal with Kevin will accept it more than Sally.
I'm surprised slapper Rosie isnt going try to be bi since she tries everyone
its going to be funny..sally will freak it will be worth watching :lol:Quote:

I agree, could be a good storyline. She's a great actress too!Quote:

She and Kevin will be mortified, Sally especially will worry about what the neighbours think but she tends to be very supportive to her girls once she gets over the initial shock.
watching sharon marshall and she said it has just been mentioned nothing is certain yet but if it does happen its going to be a long way off yet
BROOKE Vincent has revealed she and her upcoming on-screen lesbian lover Sacha Parkinson have agreed not to use tongues when they film kissing scenes in Corrie.
The teenage actress plays Sophie Webster in the soap, who is set to have a romance with best pal Sian next year.
Speaking at last night's Inside Soap Awards, Brooke told TV Biz the pair had already discussed how they will handle the storyline.
She said: "We've talked about it, we're so close so we'll be alright. I've just told her as long as she sticks to her own side when it comes to the kissing scenes things will be fine. But no tongues!"
Brooke, 17, added: "I think the story's going to be really good, it's something to get my teeth into and it will take Sophie out of Rosie's shadow.
"It will also let other teenage girls know they are not the only ones going through it if they are experiencing something similar.
"Often there aren't as many lesbian characters on TV compared to gay ones so it's a really positive thing for the soap."
But she admitted her friends and family were shocked when she told them what would happen to Sophie.
Brooke laughed: "When I told my friends they were like 'shut up!'. My granddad was like 'as long as you're comfortable with it', you know, big gulp."

I look forward to seeing this! and also seeing the look on Sallys face she will be wondering what she did wrong in raising her children one is easy and will sleep around and the other daughter is gay. Sally will be upset then understanding worrying what everyone will think
CORRIE actress Sacha Parkinson has signed up for two years of red-hot action – as part of the soap’s first` lesbian couple.
The gorgeous blonde, right, plays Sophie Webster’s best friend, Sian Powers.
The gals’ relationship is scheduled to take a passionate turn early in 2010. And that will bring Sacha into an even brighter spotlight.
A Corrie source glowed: “She is definitely the future. She’s young, sexy and extremely talented.
“She’s been in the background quite a bit since she joined the soap. But that’s all going to change!”
Sacha, 17, admits she’s daunted by the prospect of having to kiss pal Brooke Vincent who plays Sophie.
She said: “It’s not going to be easy for us but I’m really looking forward to getting my teeth into it.”

If she has signed for two years already, this is obviously going to be a lasting relationship rather than just a brief fling. How is Sally going to cope :eek:
Sally will be gutted!
In a way I feel sorry for Sally as she will have so much drama to deal with soon, from her other daugher and husbands affair
If ITV felt they could not show Rosie in a basque and suspenders, I am looking forward to see this red-hot action :rotfl:Quote:

Red hot action- wow
Corrie is changing. I think it would be a good storyline as I know growing up I didn't see any lesbians my age on TV or girls struggling with their sexuality. I hope the writers don't make the storyline too sordid or sexual but home in on the matters that are important.
CORRIE fans will see the soap's first lesbian kiss this April.
Religious teen Sophie Webster snogs Sian Powers, despite them both taking vows of chastity.
Sophie (Brooke Vincent, 17) comforts her schoolpal (Sacha Parkinson, also 17) when she splits with her boyfriend Ryan Connor (Ben Thompson), after he tries it on with Soph.
But their sisterly hug turns into a passionate kiss on Friday April 9 - even though they'd taken the chastity vow after becoming pals at church.
Sophie tells Sian: "You are far more important to me than any lad." Sian gasps: "I've got to go" - and runs out of the Websters' house.
A source said: "Sophie and Sian think they're just good friends but their feelings for each other have been growing. Things come to a head when Ryan tries to kiss Sophie.
"Sian runs back to Sophie sobbing - and their emotions take over."
Weatherfield's Hayley Cropper (Julie Hesmondhalgh) was soap's first transsexual character in 1998 - but Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) is currently the only gay in the Street.
Looks like a good storyline.
HERE'S Coronation Street's Sophie Webster sharing a lingering look with best pal Sian Powers - but fans will soon see them sharing a lot more.
The school pals, played by 17-year-olds Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson, are to be Weatherfield's first lesbians.
They get close after Sian splits with her boyfriend Ryan.
And here they are filming the scenes leading up to their first snog - which will air on Friday, April 9.

CORRIE fans are in for a shock when Sophie Webster gets support for her lesbian affair from an unlikely source - her sister Rosie.
The soap's first lesbian storyline will bring the warring sisters together, and Brooke Vincent said she can't wait to start filming.
Brooke, 17, who plays Sophie, and on-screen sis Helen Flanagan also told of their close friendship and how they wept real tears over screen mum Sally Webster's breast cancer plot.
Sophie is to fall in love with best pal Sian Powers, played by Sacha Parkinson, 17. And while Brooke admits it will be weird kissing Sacha, she is relieved her co-star is a real-life pal.
Brooke said: "Sacha and I were friends long before Corrie and I'm so glad it's her. We've been to drama school together and known each other since we were six or seven.
"She is one of my best friends, which means we've got each other and we're not doing it alone.
"The story's quite cleverly done. It's going to be implicit, not explicit, and we want that to come across. It's emotional and more about the feelings."
Rosie and Sophie constantly bicker in the soap, and Helen, 20, reckons her character's reaction to her sister's sexuality will shock viewers.
She said: "You'll be surprised at how she reacts. She will stand by Sophie. When you love your sister, you support her.
And Brooke said she was thrilled to be involved in the ground-breaking lesbian plot. She said: "It's such an honour to get a story like this at my young age."
Helen added: "They've given it to her because she's amazing. She's a scene stealer." The girls said the Christmas scenes where their mum - played by Sally Whittaker, 46 - tells her family she has breast cancer were among the most difficult they have shot.
Helen, who is far more sensitive than her WAG-wannabe character, said: "It was really emotional to film."
To make sure the Websters - completed by Michael Le Vell as Kevin - weren't in tears for weeks, bosses scheduled the scenes in an intensive block.
Brooke said: "We got into the role that much, we filmed it all together so we didn't have to come back and re-cry.
"Sally's like our mum. We're like a little family and if one of us starts crying, the others start crying too."
And she said of the difficult cancer storyline: "It's just one of those things that you've got to take so seriously. We wanted to get it right because it affects a lot of people."
The girls - who have played Rosie and Sophie for ten and six years respectively - praised the emotional script and Sally's tear-jerking performance.
Brooke said: "The writing really made us cry. Sal was amazing in it and her performance led us so much."
Meanwhile, in real life the screen sisters are helping firefighters save lives by publicising a vital safety message. Brooke said: "It doesn't even take a minute to test your smoke alarm and it could save your loved ones."

CORRIE lesbians Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson finally have their much-anticipated snog next week.
The pair, who play sexually confused Sophie Webster and Sian Powers, lock lips in a surprise kiss.
It happens in next Sunday's episode - after the pals have been rowing all week about Sian's boyfriend Ryan Connor (Ben Thompson).
When they finally sort out their differences, the teens are overcome by emotion - and end up sharing a smooch.
A source from the soap said: "The snog is out of the blue for both of them. The relief of making friends comes out in a kiss.
"They then have to work out their real feelings for each other."
See the steamy scene in Coronation Street on Sunday, April 11 at 7.30pm on ITV1.
could they think of anything else
Communications regulator Ofcom has cleared one of Coronation Street's recent lesbian screen kisses.
During the Weatherfield soap's 8.30pm instalment on April 23, viewers saw best friends Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) and Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson) finally confess their true feelings for each other, before cementing their relationship with a lingering kiss.
Following the broadcast, ten viewers logged complaints with Ofcom under Section 1 of the broadcasting code, which covers 'sexual material'.
However, after reviewing the material and consulting with programme makers Granada, Ofcom cleared the scenes and took no further action.
The soap's first lesbian kiss between the same characters was watched by 7m two weeks earlier on April 11.
Some people need to get a life !!!
I can't believe even 10 people complained about this.
oh for goodness sake! people need to get out more, Ofcom have got better things to do surely.
i'm surprised it was only 10...people are usually quite hysterical about stuff like this.
GREASE-monkey Kevin Webster and wife Sally will go frantic with worry when daughter Sophie goes missing.
The couple, played by Michael Le Vell, 45 and Sally Whittaker, 47, are distraught when Sophie skips out on college.
Fans will watch them take to the streets with flyers and posters in a desperate bid to find her.
Kevin breaks down, sobbing: “She’s a child. Anything could happen. I just want her home.”
Sophie (Brooke Vincent, 18) and pal Sian Powers do a runner after their families ban them from seeing one another after their lesbian fling.
Sophie calls sister Rosie (Helen Flanagan, 19) from a phone box to say she is OK but hangs up leaving no clues as to her whereabouts.
How ridiculous to ban them from seeing each other :thumbsdowQuote:

Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has insisted that lesbianism will not just be a passing phase for her Weatherfield character Sophie Webster.
Fans of the ITV1 soap have seen Sophie find love with best friend Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson) this year, and the plot returns to the forefront in tonight's episodes when Ryan Connor (Ben Thompson) discovers the truth about the pair's relationship.
In an interview with This Morning today, Vincent was asked whether Sophie's decision to have a romance with another girl is merely "a phase she's going through".
The actress replied: "No. In the story conference, they wanted to point out that it wasn't a phase because it's not a phase to most people.
"We wanted to play it really real and just normal. You have a stereotype of what a lesbian is and it's not always like that."
Asked what the future holds for Sophie and Sian's relationship, Vincent teased: "You're just going to see the ups and downs of it all. Just stay tuned!"
It annoys me when they say fling when its already been confirmed that its long term and that they call her pal. they were friends but now sian is her girlfriend!
Didnt they just do this recently enough with Simon Barlow and now again
