Webster family bond over tragedy

Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has revealed Sophie Webster's accident will bring her parents closer together.

The troubled teenager's mum and dad have been told by doctors she may never walk again after being hit by a car.

Her estranged parents Kevin and Sally Webster, played by Michael Le Vell and Sally Dynevor, come together to support their daughter, according to actress Brooke.

She revealed: "They are devastated and in shock for a long time so I think Kevin and Sally are finding it hard to get their head round it as well."

"I think more than anything it's going to bring the family closer together - which she likes because she likes that her dad is talking to her mum again. She wants the family to be a family. It's important to show that the family are supporting Sophie and how it doesn't just affect one person, it affects the families and others around."

It has also been reported Sophie is set to fall for her physiotherapist, Jenna Kamara. Brooke hinted: "She also turns to her physiotherapist, they have a lot of scenes with her."

And while others on the Street blame her drug-taking friend Ryan Connor for the accident, Sophie doesn't bear any grudges.

Brooke said: "No, she's a Christian isn't she? She believes everything happens for a reason.

"There was a scene in which Sophie told Ryan, 'Me, in this hospital must mean something and that is that you should be off drugs.' For her that's enough. She's not blaming him so why should he blame himself.

"I think since Ryan came back from uni they have been close but now, he's got to appreciate her a lot more than he did."
