Some of you may have read a couple of our blogs over the last year regarding the lesbian storyline on the UK soap Coronation Street.  Sophie and Sian are as cute as can be and it’s great to see teenagers portrayed so well in a major TV show.

They were friends for a long time before they fell for each other and the story has been dealt with extremely well, in my opinion.  However, this is a soap and therefore there has to be drama.  After all, who wants to see happy people on screen?  Ye, me too, but it seems most want misery!

One good thing I take from this plot line is that they will be in it more centrally in weeks to come, rather than of the periphery of Sophie’s parents split.

SPOILER ALERT

According to The Sun (I know, but bear with me), Sophie and Sian are in for some hard times.  The paper is reporting that Sophie fears Sian has cheated on her while away on holiday and this turns her to the demon drink!  Poor Sophie, her parents are going through a tough split and now this.  What’s a girl to do?  Well in her case she goes to her church to find solace but according to the reports, all she finds there are her choir mates laughing it up over her sexuality.  Sophie runs to the roof of the church, followed by her pastor but he is to late and Sophie falls onto a car and ends up fighting for her life in the intensive care unit.

My word, if that’s not drama then I don’t know what is.
