Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent)

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 doubt if you're the only one who thinks Brooke is amazing, but I'd say you're definitely in the minority. :p

It's her terrible acting and the shrieking I have a problem with not so much the storylines (although they have been dire at times). I hated Maddie at first because she was written to be so devious and unlikeable but she improved a lot and I'm a bit sad to see her go now.

As far as a long term girlfriend for Sophie goes, the trouble is finding an actress who will fit the role (unlike Jenna, although I had nothing against her acting) and who wants to stay in Corrie long term.

A stable relationship and kids would be good somewhere down the line but perhaps Sophie would do best forgetting about romance for a while and concentrating on further eduction or a career? :)

Absolutely not! My fingers slipped on the keyboard... http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...vil-763381.gif http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ppy-514478.gif

Seriously though, Sophie could do with getting some ambition to make her more interesting, not because I look down on her working in a shop. An interesting career would do the character a world of good.

The death of Maddie Heath will spark a "coming of age" storyline for her girlfriend Sophie Webster.

Maddie, played by Amy Kelly, was killed off in Monday evening's double bill (June 1) as the injuries she sustained in the recent explosion on the Street proved fatal.

Corrie's producer Stuart Blackburn has now spoken about Maddie's demise and its repercussions for the first time, explaining why the door wasn't left open for her to return.

Asked whether it was an easy decision to kill her off, Blackburn replied: "No! I think Amy is an absolutely fantastic actress and Maddie was a great character. She's been spot on from the word go, but you can't do something like this and not have consequences.

"The Websters are right at the heart of this. I've also been banging on for ages about how good Brooke Vincent is. I think people forget - they just think, 'Oh it's Sophie Webster, she's been in it for ages'.

"You can see here how wonderful she is, so I wanted to make sure there was some movement there. It's tough, though - it's always tough making decisions like that."

Kelly announced her decision to leave Coronation Street in February, explaining that she wanted to "gain more experience" away from the soap and "explore and improve [her] craft". She has since been cast in new ITV series Jericho.

Speaking further about the aftermath of Maddie's death, Blackburn continued: "It's a coming of age story for Sophie. She is going to cope, she's going to deal with it, she'll look after the funeral and she'll sort it her way.

"Obviously it's agony for her, but I think it's time that Kevin and Sally started seeing her as a young woman rather than a girl. That's partly what the story is about."

Maddie's exit followed the death of Kal Nazir (Jimi Mistry), who failed to make it out of the burning Victoria Court building in time after helping to rescue Amy Barlow from the blaze.

Asked whether he ever considered a higher death count, Blackburn replied: "No - I think you can overdo it and you have to be so careful with this. You can cross a line where it stops being credible and it looks like you're being really, really callous with characters, so no."

In a dark twist, Maddie is taking a shocking secret to the grave with her - as she was the only character who knew that Jenny Bradley was planning to kidnap Kevin's young son Jack on the night of the fire.

Unstable Jenny now thinks she has got away with it and will soon resume her plan, but upcoming episodes will see Sophie's suspicions grow - especially when she hears the strange message that Maddie left on her phone just before the explosion.

cannot see the actress maturing myself. She was'nt very helpful when Kevin and Sally were trying to get help for Maddie.

Coronation Street's Jenny Bradley comes under serious pressure tonight (June 3) as Sophie Webster's suspicions are reignited.

When Sophie (Brooke Vincent) listens to her old voicemails in order to remember Maddie Heath, she is shocked to find a message that she hasn't heard before - the one Maddie left on the night of the fire.

Although Maddie never got the chance to explain herself properly, Sophie is horrified to hear her late girlfriend admitting that she was right about Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews).

Later, Sophie plays the voicemail to Jenny and Kevin and demands an explanation. Has Jenny been backed into a corner?
