Sophie Lauren Webster is a fictional character in the UK television ITV soap opera, Coronation Street. She was born on screen during the episode broadcast on 4 November 1994. She was played by Ashleigh Middleton from 1994 until 1997 and by Emma Woodward from 8 June 1997 until 25 April 2004. Brooke Vincent took over the role on 12 May 2004. Sophie is the second daughter born to Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) and younger sister to Rosie Webster (Emma Collinge), Helen Flanagan) and elder sister to half siblings Jack Webster and deceased Jake Webster. Sophie's storylines have included her constant rivalry with Rosie, her converting to Christianity and her lesbian relationships with both Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson) and Maddie Heath (Amy James-Kelly). In 2015, it was announced that Vincent would take a fourth-month break from the show at the end of her contract, departing in October 2016. Vincent returned as Sophie on-screen on 6 February 2017, along with sister Rosie, after actress Flanagan agreed to reprise her role back in October 2016.

Sophie was born to Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) as the second born daughter after Rosie (Emma Collinge/Helen Flanagan). Sophie's major storylines start when there are problems when she is due to start secondary school. Sophie goes in on her first day but is sent home because she is not on the school's registers. When Sally finds out, she is furious but Sally is responsible as she did not fill in the application forms properly. Sophie kisses best friend Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson). Sian later confronts Sophie, admitting that she is now confused and although she is not attracted to girls, she is now attracted to Sophie; and she deeply missed not being with her. As Sian kisses her, Sophie responds and they decided to be together, "going out" as a secret couple. Sophie and Sian join a Church choir so that they can see each other more often. Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) tells Sophie he saw her twin at the Manchester Gay Pride event. Sophie explains to her father that she loves Sian and they are dating and he accepts their relationship.
