Coronation Street’s Sian Powers is set to ditch girlfriend Sophie Webster at the altar.
The teen lesbian, played by Sacha Parkinson – flees the pair’s nuptials when she finds out her lover had a fling with bisexual Amber Kaliari (Nikki Patel), the daughter of corner shop owner Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin).
In the scenes, which are set to be shown in an upcoming episode of the ITV1 soap, Sian will be chased after by Sophie – with both wearing matching wedding dresses – with the rest of the guests left looking on in bemusement.
Sacha, who is leaving Coronation Street in 2012, previously admitted she was “fuming” when she first read the lesbian love triangle storyline.
She recently said: “I was so jealous when I first read the storyline. I was absolutely fuming. I was like, ‘How could Sophie do that to Sian?’.”

Meanwhile, Brooke Vincent – who portrays Sophie in the soap – admitted the emotional plot is making her act “for the first time”.
She said: “It’s different to anything I’ve ever been used to and it’s made me actually have to act for the first time.
“I think a lot of my own personality has come in to my character for the past eight years and now I’m actually having to really act differently. It’s interesting though, and it keeps things fresh.”Coronation Street is preparing for a Christmas wedding, as Sophie Webster and Sian Powers get ready to say ‘I do’.
In behind-the-scenes pictures, the girls both make beautiful brides in their matching white meringue dresses, while Sophie’s sister Rosie oozes sex appeal when she turns up in a tight blue number.
Speaking about the wedding, Sacha Parkinson, who plays Sian, revealed: “I’m not sure what’s going to happen but I’ve heard there’s a big wedding in a church with two wedding dresses just in time for Christmas. I’m so excited!”
16-year-old Sophie shocked everyone when she guiltily proposed to Sian following a drunken kiss with Amber. The pair are now keen to wed over the festive season, but with Sophie’s growing feelings for Amber, the big day might be doomed from the start…
Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie, said: “Sophie’s kind of in love with the whole Amber attitude. This is the first time that she’s ever really been in this situation, so there’s a lot of feelings and a lot of arguments. It’s going to be very exciting…so you’d better watch it!”
With Sacha set to leave the soap early next year, will the wedding go ahead or will poor Sian get her heart broken? Whatever happens, it’s bound to be explosive!
