'Coronation Street' Sophie twist is exciting, says Brooke Vincent

Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has praised the soap's lesbian love triangle storyline, promising that there are "exciting" scenes ahead as the plot hots up.

The actress's character Sophie Webster will soon be torn between existing girlfriend Sian Powers and rebellious Amber Kalirai (Nikki Patel) in a story which has been tipped to cause heartbreak on the cobbles.

Amber plants a kiss on Sophie during a night out later this week, trying to get rid of a guy who is hassling the religious shop worker. However, a guilty Sophie soon realises that she may have genuine feelings for Amber.

Vincent told itv.com of the storyline: "I think after this kiss, Sophie does start feeling something for Amber.

"I think she's never been able to put her finger on it before this, and then because it's happened and she's seen that Amber's willing to go that extra mile to just prove something to somebody, I think she kind of likes that. She's kind of in love with the whole Amber attitude."

She continued: "This is the first time that Sophie's ever really been in this situation, so there's a lot of feelings and a lot of arguments. It's going to be very, very, very, very exciting - so you'd better watch it!"

Sacha Parkinson, who plays Sian, will be leaving Coronation Street later this year.
