Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has said that she hopes rumors of a drugs storyline for her character Sophie Webster are true.

Earlier this month, tabloid reports suggested that Sophie would become addicted to crack cocaine in an upcoming plot - although this remains unconfirmed by show bosses.

Sources said that the Coronation Street team were considering bringing back the character of Ryan Connor to become a bad influence on Sophie, tempting her with the drugs.

Vincent told Radio Times: "If they are going to play the story, I think it would be amazing. There are a lot of young people [who] go through that stage in life and think it's really cool.

"I know Emmerdale have done the story as well, but I think it's good to show young adults what the effects of drugs are."

She added: "On Corrie, they spend a lot of time on storylines and working out whether they're right for the character. I think it's good that such an old soap is deciding to tackle such young issues."

Sophie's last major storyline saw her ditched by girlfriend Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson) on their wedding day at Christmas.
