Biography . 1994 - 2005 : Early life . Sophie was born in November 1994 to parents Kevin Webster and Sally Webster . Sally and Kevin planned to call their new daughter Lauren , however , her sister Rosie kept calling the baby " Sophie " after her doll . Kevin and Sally warmed to Rosie ' s suggestion and legally changed the baby ' s name to Sophie . For the first three years of her life , Sophie ’ s parents were very much in love but after Kevin had an affair , they separated in 1998 . With Sally struggling to bring up her girls on her own , she made bad relationship decisions - most notably when she dated Greg Kelly , who was only interested in her money . in May 1999 , Greg went on to kidnap Sophie with Rosie and Sally , however Sally was able to escape with the girls . Around the same time , Kevin started seeing Alison Wakefield . When Alison became pregnant , he married her in January 2000 with Rosie and Sophie as bridesmaids . Sophie ' s half brother Jake Webster was born the following June , but died after a few hours from a Group B Strep infection . In 2001 , Sally became engaged to Danny Hargreaves but they separated soon afterwards . David Platt teased Sophie over the separation , causing the two children to have a fight . Kevin and Sally got back together and remarried in 2002 . In 2003 , Sally focused most of her attention on Rosie , as she was convinced that Rosie was gifted and wanted her to have a career in performance . Sophie often felt left out and got into fights with Rosie . In 2004 , Sophie developed a friendship with Chesney Brown , and the pair did most things together . When Sally had an affair with her boss , Ian Davenport , Sophie feared that Sally and Kevin would get a divorce but this never happened . 2005 - 2010 : Secondary school . Sophie arrived for her first day of secondary school in September 2005 and was promptly sent home for not being registered with Weatherfield High . Sally found out and was furious although the error turned out to be her own . She had failed to fill in the application forms adequately due to her indecision regarding whether Sophie would attend Weatherfield High or Oakhill Private School ( as Rosie had done ) . Sophie had to go without school for weeks as Mr Lewis , the headteacher of the school , would not give her admission . Sally looked up other schools in the area to find they all had terrible reputations . When Sally was dropping Rosie off at Oakhill , she saw Mr Lewis taking his daughter for her first day there . Remembering he said Jessica had Sophie ' s place in Weatherfield High , Sally threatened to tell the local newspaper about his lies , which earned Sophie a place at Weatherfield High . Sophie and Chesney almost fell out when Chesney ' s stepfather Les had gossiped to the street residents about Chesney seeing a naked Sally in the shower . The two remained friends anyway after they made up , and in winter that year , Sophie developed a friendship with classmate Nicolette Seddon . Soon , they pair realised they were related and when Sally found out , she was furious as Nicolette was so illicit and unpleasant . Sophie and Nicolette began hanging out in the street and were rude to Gail Platt and Roy Cropper , pushing Sally to breaking point . When Rosie and her boyfriend Craig Harris were looking after Sophie for Sally , Sophie went out to see Nicolette after being told not to leave the house . When Sally returned to find Sophie gone she was frantic , but Sophie was later found by Rosie and Craig . A livid Kevin and Sally soon discovered she had been smoking and after a huge row with Nicolette ' s parents , Sophie and Nicolette were banned from seeing each other ever again . In early 2006 , while Rosie was away , Sophie found out that Craig cheated on her with Suzie Watkins . When Rosie returned from her trip away , Sophie revealed to her sister that Craig had Suzie in his bedroom . Despite not believing her at first , Rosie split from Craig , leaving Sophie showing little sympathy for Rosie . In the summer , she and Chesney started hanging out with Chesney ' s friend Cameron McIntyre . Sophie fell for Cameron , which left Chesney dissappointed . The trio started making mischief by prank - calling residents of the street and taking horror DVDs from Les . The films had an 18 certificate so Sally was annoyed when she found them watching one in her living room and threw them out the house , leaving them with nothing more to do . Cameron then stole cigarettes and an enamoured Sophie took one , despite being warned by Chesney not to do so . Sally later found them in the ginnel behind the houses and smelt tobacco . The finger of blame pointed at Chesney as Cameron and Sophie had passed the cigarettes to him to hide . Cameron felt bad for Chesney being bored so took him round to Sophie ' s and she agreed to have him in , although she was in huge trouble with her parents as it was . When Sally returned from work , Chesney speedily left the house after being told to do so by her . Later on , Sophie stole money from Sally to buy cigarettes for her and Cameron , but Sally assumed the thief was Chesney as his family were known for stealing . When Sally went round to Chesney ' s to argue with his parents , Sophie and Cameron started feel guilty over what they did and Sophie told him to go home so she could sort it out once and for all . She did so , telling her and Chesney ' s shocked parents everything that happened . Sally apologised to Chesney , and everything carried on as normal , but Sophie ' s friendship with Cameron broke off and he never returned . Later that year , Sophie and Chesney found an old diary in the attic of No . 5 . 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 old diary . Sophie handed it over to David who was shocked to discover that his mum almost gone through with an abortion , in 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 . Months later , Sophie vented her anger on Fiz Brown ' s motor scooter after finding out Fiz was dating her drama teacher , John Stape , who Sophie has 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 fights and arguments . Tension relaxed when Kevin was released from prison . In May 2008 , Sophie gave Chesney some help to get with her friend Kayleigh Morton . In September , Rosie mysteriously disappeared . Three weeks later Kevin received a postcard saying " Sophie ' s next " . Sophie later revealed that it was she who 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 lingered . In January 2009 , Kevin found a used pregnancy test in the bin . Suspecting it was Sally ' s , he asked her but she denied that she was pregnant . They then believed that it is their wild child daughter Rosie that was pregnant , but she also denied it . It was then that Sophie revealed it was her . It was later revealed that she made the pregnancy up in a bid for attention . She revealed all to Sally after being pressed about going to the doctor . 2010 - 2011 : First girlfriend . In March 2010 , Sophie realised that she was gay and was in love with her best friend Sian Powers . This all kicked off when Sophie told Sian that Ryan tried it on with her so Sian came back to Weatherfield to shout at Ryan . He turned it on Sophie causing her and Sian to fall out . As Ryan and Sian waited for the bus to get to the train station , Sian found out that Ryan did try it on with Sophie and went round to apologise to her for what happened . Sian told Sophie that she was more important to her than any lad and Sophie kissed her . After the kiss Sian burst out crying and ran out of the house . The next day , Sophie was still very sad about what happened the previous night and decided to stay home from school , telling her dad she was ill , which at first Kevin didn ' t believe . Later that day , Sophie told Kevin that she wasn ' t ill and that she was missing a specific person , Sian . Kevin though it was Ben . Sophie then tried to track down Sian , but found it hard as she couldn ' t get hold of Sian . Sophie then asked her dad to go to Southport to find Sian , but Kevin refused as Sophie was grounded , but she still went behind her dad ' s back . While at Southport , Sophie tried to reason with Sian , but failed and left . She then decided to go on another date with Ryan ' s friend Lee after being persuaded by Amber Kalirai . In 2011 , Sian and Sophie ' s relationship was finally approved of by everyone in their family . Sian kept her distance from Sophie for various reasons , so Sophie started drinking alcohol and refusing help from friend Sunita Alahan . Turning up drunk at church , Sophie told the priest that God hated her so much that she was so hurt . Not listening to the priest , Sophie climbed up on the church roof to shout at God . When the priest followed her and persuaded her to come down , Sophie fell off and landed on a car . At the hospital , Sophie and the Websters were told that she would live and Sian re - united with her . When Sian later wenton holiday , Amber Kalirai took Sophie on a night out , but when Sophie received unwanted attention by another man , Amber threw herself at Sophie but she managed to back off . Sophie quit her job at the Corner Shop and pitied Amber too . At the end of 2011 , Sophie and Sian decided to get married . However at the altar , Sophie got cold feet and Sian fled the church . After a long talk , Sian agreed to give Sophie another chance . Unfortunately , when Amber confroned Sophie about their kiss months ago and whether she liked her or not , Sian overheard everything and packed her bags . Telling a devastated Sophie she hated her , Sian left Weatherfield with her mother . 2012 - 2013 : Car accident and second girlfriend . In early 2012 , Rosie announced to her family that she ' d be leaving Weatherfield to take part in a reality TV series in London , leaving Sophie a little sad although they said goodbye on good terms . By this point , Sophie had got over Sian . In the summer of 2012 , Sophie was shocked when Ryan Connor came back to the area again . He convinced Sophie to do drugs , and they got high together . Sophie and Ryan left a cigarette unattended that burned some curtains down , but thankfully nothing else . Later that year , Sophie got hit by a car whilst trying to save a high Ryan from being hit when he played chicken on the road . To her parents ' relief she only suffered minor injuries . Physiotherapist Jenna Kamara helped Sophie ' s pain go away , but Sophie developed feelings for her soon afterwards . Things went wrong on Christmas Day when a drunken Kevin made a move on Jenna , so she threatened to put Sophie in someone else ' s care . Sophie began to hate Kevin so much she didn ' t want to see him ever again . Eventually , after a talk with Sally , Jenna let it go and continued to treat Sophie , and the fallout with Kevin fizzled out . In early 2013 , Sophie picked up the courage to finally spend time with Jenna and even kiss her , and she responded . The pair immediately began dating , much to the disapproval of Jenna ' s mother Mandy and Kevin . Later that year , Sophie was a little devastated when her close friend Sunita Alahan died from an inferno caused by Karl Munro , so to help her husband Dev out , Sophie minded the shop for longer with Jenna and helped out with their children Asha and Aadi . Sophie grew wary of Karl . In the summer , Sophie caused tension between her and Jenna as Paul Kershaw made a remark which Jenna classed as racist . Sophie reported Paul to Weatherfield Community Fire Station , which almost cost Paul his job , and he lashed out at Lloyd Mullaney . Jenna avoided Sophie , but later they made up after peace was restored . Sophie soon began growing tired of her mother dating Tim Metcalfe , as he kept making her look like a fool . Weeks later , Jenna decided to split from Sophie because of their differences in character . Upset , Sophie removed a hurt Jenna from the house . At a homeless shelter on Christmas day , Sophie and Sally volunteered to help . However , one girl , Maddie Heath , took a strong disliking to Sally and pushed her face into a trifle before stealing her handbag . Sophie found this amusing , but when she spoke to Maddie she disliked her confrontational attitude . When Sophie returned the next day , things had not improved between them . Sophie soon learned that Maddie had Sally ' s watch as it was in her handbag , and Maddie demanded £50 for it . Sophie agreed to at first , but after some persuasion from her friends , she just took the watch without paying . Maddie was angered at Sophie ' s actions so she followed her back to her house and broke in while Sally ' s partner Tim Metcalfe was asleep . However , Tim woke up and grabbed Maddie , so she punched him in the face and left empty - handed . Tim lied to Sophie by saying it was a " burly man " , but she immediately knew it was Maddie who broke in and was angry . Later , Maddie kissed a stunned Sophie after an argument with her . Wanting to know why , Sophie confronted Maddie , only to have got a " because I felt like it " response . At the Red Rec , Sophie met up with Maddie but when Sally showed up , Maddie ran off . Sophie and Sally followed her back to a block of flats . Fran , Maddie ' s mother , answered the door and thought they were social services and turned cold against them , but Maddie quickly re - assured Fran they were just friends . Maddie ' s little brother Ben soon showed up , and Sophie wanted to know what was going on . Maddie revealed Ben was in care and her mother had mental health problems , so Sophie took pity on her and invited her round her dinner . Things were going fine , but when Sally started being nosey , an upset Maddie did a runner , leaving Sophie upset too . In 2015 Sophie took a dislike to Kevin ' s new girlfriend Jenny Bradley ( who was the foster daughter of Rita over 20 years prior and daughter of the infamous Alan Bradley ) . Sophie believed Jenny was actually after Kevin ' s money and didn ' t trust her . Kevin refused to pay attention to Sophie , feeling she was only trying to get between him and Jenny , and even Maddie wanted Sophie to stop her crusade . In May of that year , Maddie was caught in an explosion from the builder ' s yard on the night of the Victoria Court fire but left a voice message on her mobile phone warning Sophie about Jenny prior to the accident . Much to Sophie ' s devastation Maddie passed away , but the voice message furthered her suspicions . This was confirmed when Jenny kidnapped Jack and fled to Hull . It was revealed by police that Jenny lost her son Tom Midgeley two years ' prior . Jenny was later tracked down and arrested , with Jack returned safely to his family . Sophie began helping Kevin out with his business by working in the office . Kevin gave her 21 % share of the garage as a present on her 21st birthday . Development . Personality . Sophie is portrayed as a determined , strong - willed young woman who is devoted to her family and friends . As a younger teen she went through a phase of being rebellious and causing criminal damage . She also pretended to be pregnant in order to garner attention from her parents . Sophie has since converted to Christianity and was baptised in 2009 . After the revelation of her lesbian relationship , Sophie left home with her girlfriend to start a new life . She returned some weeks later due to financial issues . 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 . This may be contested as in more recent years Sophie has been portrayed as far more intelligent than her older sister . Fellow actor Craig Gazey describes the character as very gobby and a perfect match for his character Graeme Proctor . Relationships . Sophie briefly dated Ben Richardson before discovering he had been unfaithful . She also went on a date with a teen called Lee but his main interest was sex , Sophie turned down his affections . During her break - up with Ben and her rebound date , Sophie seemed thoroughly heartbroken and relied heavily on her friend Sian Powers . This close friendship developed into a relationship even though both Sian and Sophie had been involved in heterosexual relationships beforehand . The attraction seemed to come as a surprise to both of the girls . As of September 2010 , Sophie ' s mother Sally has welcomed Sian into the family home . Sophie has rather recently developed a close relationship with her sister Rosie . The two spent the majority of their time together as children arguing and competing , but since Sophie ' s revelation of her lesbian relationship , Rosie has been supportive . When Sophie briefly left home , Rosie was the one person from home she kept in contact with . Sophie has a strained relationship with her parents but as of late the relationships have become closer . The family saw some bonding in early 2010 when Sally was diagnosed with breast cancer . She has argued with her father Kevin because of his lack of interest in her personal life . Unbeknownst to Sophie , some of Kevin ' s agitation and neglect was caused by his stressful affair with Molly Dobbs . Sophie is also close with Emily Bishop , presumably because they attend the same church and Emily offers spiritual guidance . She had a friendship with Ryan Connor but after it was revealed that she was dating Sian , Ryan became disgusted and taunted and threatened Sophie and Sian for some time . Sophie did have close friendships with Chesney Brown and Cameron McIntyre as they were all the same age and did many things together , however Cameron left the immediate area two weeks after they met , and Sophie hasn ' t been seen with Chesney for some time . At the end of 2011 , Sophie and Sian ' s wedding day arrived . However it unfortunately ended up with Sian leaving Weatherfield with her mum because of a kiss between Sophie and Amber months earlier . In 2012 , after Sophie had got over Sian , she began to see Jenna Kamara . The two started off with an unconventional relationship , as Jenna was Sophie ' s physiotherapist . They broke up in the middle of 2013 because Jenna believed they were both at very different stages of their lives . Sophie began working at a homeless shelter when she met Maddie Heath , a younger homeless girl . The two had a bad first run - in when Maddie stole Sally ' s purse and a sentimental watch . Sophie tried to get the watch back , and when she succeeded , Maddie stole it again . Sophie was very angry and the two got into an argument when Maddie unexpectedly kissed Sophie before running away .
