Corrie star Sally Dynevor has praised the writers for their handling of her screen daughter Sophie's lesbian storyline.
Sophie (Brooke Vincent) has embarked on a relationship with her friend Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson).
Dynevor admitted that she is pleased that her character Sally Webster grows to accept the relationship.
Discussing how Sally reacts to the secret romance, Dynevor told new! magazine: "At first, she's really shocked and says daft things like, 'I'm not having any dungarees in this house!'
"But then she becomes quite protective of Sophie and Sian and defends them."
She added: "I'm so glad the writers have done it like that, because at first I wasn't sure Sally would accept it. The fact she's supportive is really good."
Dynevor returned to the Manchester-based drama in May after completing treatment for breast cancer.
Her character Sally was seen diagnosed with the same disease at Christmas.
