Coronation Street has confirmed Sophie Webster's exit storyline, as Brooke Vincent goes on maternity leave.
Sophie will leave the cobbles to go traveling in Cambodia in scenes airing next week.
Last night's episodes (September 30) set up the exit storyline, as Sophie prepares for her first day at college. Sophie isn't feeling the new course, though, and Paula Martin (Stirling Gallacher) notices her looking wistfully at a picture of Kate Connor enjoying herself abroad.
Later this week, Kevin Webster's sister Debbie (Sue Devaney) returns to Weatherfield to break the news that their Auntie Vi has passed away. Vi has left Debbie £200,000 in her will, but Debbie wants Kevin to take the money instead.
Also noticing that Sophie is struggling with college, Debbie offers encouragement and tells her to follow her heart.
Kevin eventually decides to split the money between himself, Sophie, Rosie, and Jack.
What to Read Next
Next Wednesday (October 9) is Brooke Vincent's final episode before her break. Paula tells Sophie that she should forget about college, proposing instead that they should get away from Weatherfield and go traveling in Cambodia together.
Paula wants to leave tonight and Sophie agrees. But this turns out to be a ruse. Paula doesn't actually want to go to Cambodia, but pretended to so that Sophie would be persuaded to go traveling.
Sophie says an emotional goodbye to Paula, Kevin, Sally, and Tim, and leaves for Cambodia.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
