Sophie Webster is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street. She was born on-screen during the episode broadcast on 4 November 1994. She was played by Ashleigh Middleton from 1994 until 1997 and by Emma Woodward from 8 June 1997 until 25 April 2004. Brooke Vincent took over the role on 12 May 2004.[1] Sophie is the second daughter born to Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) and Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) and younger sister to Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan) and elder sister to half siblings Jack Webster and deceased Jake Webster.

Sophie's storylines have included her constant rivalry with Rosie, her converting to Christianity and her lesbian relationships with both Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson) and Maddie Heath (Amy James-Kelly). In 2015, it was announced that Vincent would take a four-month break from the show at the end of her contract, departing in October 2016. Vincent returned as Sophie on-screen on 6 February 2017, along with sister Rosie, after actress Flanagan agreed to reprise her role back in October 2016.[2] Vincent left the show in 2019 when she went on maternity leave, with Sophie's final scenes airing in October of that year. However, Vincent has said she currently has no immediate plans to return to the show.
