Sophie Webster
Creation
Background
The character of Sophie was created as a sister for Rosie, the character was originally named Lauren and was born in 1994 to parents Kevin Webster and Sally Webster. However Rosie kept calling the baby “Sophie” after her doll. Kevin and Sally (who had also warmed to the name Sophie far more than Lauren) were persuaded to legally change her name. Although for the first five years of her life, Sophie parents were very much in love, her dad Kevin affair changed everything. With Sally struggling to bring up her girls on her own, she made bad relationship decisions – most notably when she went out with psychotic Greg Kelly who kidnapped Sophie. Later Kevin and Sally remarried and her family got back together. However, soon thereafter Sophie overheard her parents arguing about Sally’ with her boss, Ian Davenport, whose daughter Gemma was friends with Rosie. She feared they would get a divorce but this never happened.
Casting
Ashleigh Middleton played Sophie from her birth up until March 1997 when Emma Woodward who was just three years old at the time took over the role. In 2004 Emma quit the role of Sophie to concentrate on her school work. The show’s bosses ran auditions upon the announcement which resulted in her being replaced with Brooke Vincent a patron of the Manchester Kids charity. In an interview Brooke revealed that her role in Coronation Street is just part of her life, stating she doesn’t see it as a job because she sees it as fun. She also works a Saturday job and attends school but manages to fit all three into her schedule. have a normal life and the Corrie stuff is my bonus life, As the character grew older Coronation street bosses were impressed by Brooke’s performance as Sophie and decided to give her more storylines and in order to do so they cast some classmates for her.They were cast in December.Coronation Street told the Daily Star that: “Brooke is an amazing actress and the introduction of two characters her own age will give the writers free rein to come up with some fantastic plots for her.”
Development
Personality
ITV publicity describes Sophie as a girl who is determined to live her life her own way after being neglected by her parents in favour of elder sister Rosie. Also stating that even after her hardships she went through growing up she has turned out pretty well-adjusted with a good sense of humour. What’s on TV magazine describes her as not being as bright as her sister Rosie, but always gets her own way as she is the apple of her father’s eye. Fellow actor Craig Gazey describes the character as very gobby and a perfect match for his character Graeme Proctor..
Relationships
Sophie, who is only in her middle teens at the moment, hasn’t had a serious relationship or a real boyfriend until Ben. Originally, her main friend who is currently still a resident on the street was Chesney Battersby-Brown, though she spends most time onscreen with her parents, sister Rosie with whom she has a rocky relationship with and Ryan Connor.
In 2009, Sophie became good friends with a girl named Sian who later Ryan Connor formed a relationship with. After having slept with Ryan, Sian’s father made it impossible for her relationship to carry on and so on 22 January Sian left to go and live with her mother in Bournemouth, leaving both Sophie and Ryan devastated.
In 2009 Sophie formed a relationship with schoolmate Ben Richardson captain of the school swimming team. He took Sophie to the Christian Youth Center and soon influenced her into deciding to become a “proper” Christian. On December 18, Ben kissed Michelle, a few days later Ryan told Sophie what had happend when they met up on the Street, Sophie at first accused Ryan of being Jealous; however when seeing Ben later on and discovering Ryan had told the truth she ended things with Ben. She and Ryan soon made up and Ben left Coronation Steet.
Storylines
Early Stories
Sophie’s major storylines started when there were problems when she was due to start secondary school. Sophie had gone in on her first day but was sent home because she wasn’t on the school’s registers. When Sally found out, she was furious. It turned out that Sally had failed to fill in the application forms properly. At that time, she was unsure if Sophie would attend Oakhill, like Rosie. For weeks, Sophie had to stay at home as the headteacher of the school would not let her in. Sally looked at other schools in the area but the only one she had any chance of joining had a bad reputation. The head of Weatherfield High had given Sophie’s place to his daughter, Jessica. When Sally was dropping Rosie off at Oakhill, she saw the Head of Weatherfield High taking his daughter for her first day. Sally spoke to him and threatened to tell the local newspaper, which got Sophie a place at Weatherfield High.
Sophie became friends with Nicolette Seddon, unaware that they were related. When Sally found out, she was furious as Nicolette was so rude. She and Sophie started smoking and one night when Rosie and Craig were babysitting, Sophie sneaked out after being told not to leave the house. When Sally found Sophie had gone missing, she was frantic. Sophie was later found and broke off her friendship with Nicolette.
In the summer 2006, Sophie and Chesney started hanging out with Chesney’s friend Cameron McIntyre. The trio started took DVDs from Chesney’s stepdad Les. The films had an 18 certificate, so Sally was annoyed when she found them watching one in her living room. Cameron then stole cigarettes, and Sophie took one. Sally later found them in the alley behind the houses and smelt tobacco. The finger of blame was pointed at Chesney, as Cameron and Sophie had passed the cigarettes to him. Later on, Sophie stole money from Sally, who suspected Chesney, as it was what his family was known for. Sophie felt guilty and told her shocked parents everything. Later that year, Sophie and Chesney found an old diary in the attic of number five. It belonged to the late Ivy Brennan, and Sophie started convincing people that she was psychic; Vera Duckworth even paid her to do a reading. When Rosie found out, she told David Platt who said it was his step-gran’s diary. Sophie gave it to David, who was shocked to discover that his mum had almost had an abortion, which Ivy recorded in her diary. David confronted his mum about it on Christmas Day. On Valentine’s Day 2007, she got her mum to write a valentine’s card, which Sally assumed was for Chesney (Sophie purposefully saying nothing to the contrary); however, she posted it through Norris Cole’s door. Norris recognised Sally’s writing from a cheque she wrote him and was convinced that Sally had a crush on him. The truth was soon revealed, and Sophie was made to apologise.
Sophie vented her anger on Fiz Brown’s pink motor scooter after finding out Fiz was dating her drama teacher, John Stape, whom Sophie had a crush on. Her sister Rosie Webster soon had an affair with John, and when this was announced, trouble emerged, as John was Rosie’s teacher. Kevin attacked John on the street and was later arrested. This heightened the differences between her and Rosie, and they got into a fight at school and they was sent home. Tension relaxed when Kevin was released from prison.
False Pregnancy & Religion
In September 2008, Rosie mysteriously disappeared, three weeks later Kevin received a postcard saying ‘Sophie’s next.’ Sophie later revealed she had sent the postcards as she was tired of all the attention Rosie was getting. Even though Sophie and Rosie declared a truce, the division between them still lingers, as Rosie is her mum’s daughter and Sophie is very much her dad’s.
In January 2009, Kevin found a pregnancy testing kit box in the bin. Thinking it was Sally’s, he asked her but she denied it so they suspected that it belonged to Rosie, thinking she was pregnant, but she denied it too. It was then when Sophie revealed it was her and later revealed that she made the pregnancy up in a bid for attention. She revealed everything to Sally after she pressed her about going to the doctor.
The character later became part of a new group of teenagers along with fellow Coronation Street resident Ryan Connor and two new characters Ben Richardson and Sian. On 16 February 2009, Sophie revealed to a stunned Sally and Kevin, and a happy Ben, that she was adopting Christian values, and that she would be wearing a purity necklace. Sophie became a more prominent character in 2009 with storylines including her relationship with boyfriend Ben Richardson and the focus on her religion.
Sexuality
In Spring 2009, rumours began circulating that Sophie Webster would become the soap’s first lesbian storyline, when she supposedly embarks on an affair with her best friend Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson). . Almost a year later, this rumour was confirmed and expected to be shown on screen on 9 April 2010 thus making Sophie the first regular lesbian character, and the third regular homosexual, following Todd Grimshaw and Sean Tully.
Reception
Brooke was nominated for Best Dramatic Performance From A Young Actor Or Actress award for her portrayal of Sophie at The British Soap awards 2008, she was put forward by the panel but lost out to Jamie Borthwick. Grace Dent of The Guardian described Sophie’s early rebellion phase as the best storyline of Coronation Street in 2005 and even said that she was ‘chaving it up’ with her friend Nicolette. She also said of the character “She has transformed virtually overnight from a small, cheeky scamp into a Kappa-tracksuited, crop-topped, top-knotted, gum-chomping gobby nightmare.”
In popular culture
In scenes shown in 2005, Sophie referred to herself as a chav, a slang term in the United Kingdom for a person whose lifestyle, branded casual clothing, speech and/or mannerisms are perceived to be common, proletarian and vulgar. Due to this affiliation, the character is named and quoted in the 2006 book The Chav Guide to Life by Lee Bok.

For Student Series Drama: The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster $8.99 John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi was written in 1613 or 1614, and had at least two successful productions in London before it was published in 1623 under the title The Tragedy of the Duchesse of Malfy. Generally considered to be Webster’s masterpiece, it tells the story of a young widow who marries against the wishes of her powerful brothers, setting off a storm of revenge. The startling violence, the unbelievable plot twists, the mysterious motives of the brothers, and the calm strength of the Duchess have made The Duchess of Malfi a subject for fierce debate for hundreds of years. Critics and reviewers have loved or hated the play, with equal fervor. The Duchess’s story is based on actual events that took place in Italy in the early sixteenth century. Webster freely borrowed elements of his story from several sources, including William Painter’s popular collection of stories, The Palace of Pleasure (1566–1567), and Sir Philip Sidney’s romance Arcadia (1590), and also borrowed dramatic elements from the Revenge Tragedy tradition, but he adapted the source materials to suit his own themes and dramatic purpose. The Duchess of Malfi is widely available in high school and college anthologies. It is also available separately as a Dover Thrift edition and collected in The Duchess of Malfi and Other Plays (1998), part of the Oxford World Classics series. |

The Power of Sympathy and The Coquette by Brown, William Wells; Foster, Hannah Webster Edition ILL, 0 $18.49 Written in epistolary form and drawn from actual events, The Power of Sympathy (1789) and The Coquette (1797) were two of the earliest novels published in America. William Hill Brown’s The Power of Sympathy reflects eighteenth-century America’s preoccupation with the role of women as safekeepers of the country’s morality. A novel about the dangers of succumbing to sexual temptations and the rewards of resistance, it was meant to promote women’s moral rectitude, and the letters through which the story is told are filled with advice on the proper relationships between the sexes. Like The Power of Sympathy, Hannah Webster Foster’s The Coquette is concerned with womanly virtue. Eliza Wharton is eager to enjoy a bit of freedom before settling down to domestic life and begins a flirtation with the handsome, rakish Sanford. Their letters trace their relationship from its romantic beginnings to the transgression that inevitably brings their exclusion from proper society. In her Introduction, Carla Mulford discusses the novels’ importance in the development of American literature and as vivid reflections of the goal to establish a secure republic built on the virtue of its citizens. |
