Say I Do...I Do...I Do...I Do...I Do...I Do?

*Spoiler Alert*

The Corrie episode everyone's been waiting for as Sophie and Sian walk down the aisle in beautiful matching dresses has finally arrived, we only wish it would have a happy ending. We know that this is highly unlikely however as Sacha Parkinson is leaving the Soap :-(


The question is, will a guilty Sophie confess her feelings for Amber in front of everyone or will Kevin step in after Sunita told him the other night that she doesn't think Sophie is certain about the wedding?



Breaking with tradition, the girls meet before the ceremony and Sian gives Sophie an engraved bracelet.



As Sophie prepares for her big day. Kevin takes her outside to ask her if she is having second thoughts but Sophie assures him that she is doing the right thing.




Kevin can't help but crack a smile as his beautiful daughter sets off for the church.



Inside the church, Sian reads her vows beautifully but Sophie struggles with her words.

Devastated by Sophie's inability to complete her vows, Sian runs off. Sophie chases after her, but how will this fairytale end?

One thing's for sure, we will all be shedding many tears tonight as the storyline that created the nation's favourite lesbian couple comes to an end. Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson have been inspirational in the way that they have portrayed the young couple, and have changed many people's lives, including my own. The Sophie and Sian storyline has changed not just the way that gay people are shown on television by avoiding stereotypes, but perceptions of the LGBT community in society in general. They've shown that you can't choose who you fall in love with and love is beautiful regardless of your sexual orientation.

It is very doubtful that anyone will be starting a 'Amphie' fan group anytime soon for Amber and Sophie, but memories of Sophie and Sian will certainly carry on with many of the brilliant YouTube videos that have been made for the couple.


Enjoy tonight's episode through your tears, it may be the end of a revolutionary storyline for Coronation Street but it has brought many of us together and has taught audiences so much. Thank you Brooke and Sacha. Thank you Coronation Street.
