Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has insisted that her character's lesbianism is not a passing phase. The actress plays teenager Sophie Webster in the Weatherfield drama.
Sophie has recently begun a romance with best friend Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson).
Their secret is about to become public knowledge after Ryan Connor (Ben Thompson) discovers the truth about the pair's relationship.
Speaking on This Morning, Vincent discussed whether Sophie's romance with another girl was just "a phase she's going through".
Brooke replied: "No. In the story conference, they wanted to point out that it wasn't a phase because it's not a phase to most people.
"We wanted to play it really real and just normal. You have a stereotype of what a lesbian is and it's not always like that."
Talking about the future of their relationship, Vincent added: "You're just going to see the ups and downs of it all. Just stay tuned!"
