(This post was originally posted by me on the Coronation Street Blog in September, 2010, reposted with permission.)Some might consider this a spoiler but but I consider that this is really only a logical "what comes next" for Sophie and Sian's relationship. That's my take on it. Your mileage may vary.
Sophie and Sian are in for more heartbreak next week on our screens here in Canada. The Sun reports that now that the teens have come home (you didn't think they were gone for good, did you?), the pastor at their church finds out about their relationship. He's not best pleased and lectures them with the standard church doctrine of "unnatural". Sian and Sophie argue that everyone is equal in God's eyes and whatever it says in the Bible, they're sure that God would admit his mistake. Even Emily Bishop can't disagree with the pastor though she's a lot more likely to be understanding but her opinion still stings the girls.
Will the pressure split up the girls? Will Sophie turn her back on the church? Will Sophie pretend to be something she's not? My guesses are yes, yes and no. I hope Sophie stays true to herself but I've always felt that Sian really isn't gay at heart. I may be proven wrong and that's ok, too. As for the church, maybe Sophie will find a church that does accept her. Whatever happens, it is sure to be handled well. This really is the kind of thing that happens to gay couples and other couples that don't fit the standard mold. Just look at the opposition Roy and Hayley have had to deal with for all these years and how people still make jokes about Hayley behind her back.

I missed it last night but saw on Friday...when the pastor walked in I thought...OOPS! It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
Do we know why cbc doesnt update their eps daily? They seem to put up a week's worth at a time :O(
Yes that's what htey've always done, they upload the week's episodes after the Sunday omnibus has aired in all regions.
I think it's because they want to watch it when it runs - for the sponsors. If they put the episodes on daily, no one would watch it the first time.
Yes Trudy i expect you're right. They don't air the episodes online with the sponsors.
I get that...but every other network uploads their eps within a day or two.
Yeah. But that's the money grubbing CBC for you. Still, can't complain. They're doubling the episodes and we're going to catch up after bitching about it for years!
