At least she'll be able to audition for other roles, would love to see her pop up in Waterloo Road.

Amber and Sophie could be interesting :]

Yeah, she's signed a new deal at Corrie. They won't be axing Sophie because their older following are so used to her and she's very popular with the younger crowd!

Brooke's staying for sure She's been at Corrie since 2004, and her character has been there since 1994 (or something, I remember them making an error with her age one year xD)

Phew!

Surprised to see Sian leave, I always thought they wanted a long future for her and Sophie but seems it wasn't to be. Will be good for Dev and Sunita to have Amber back also because they haven't had much to do recently. As for the others, they never really made much of an impact so I doubt anyone will miss them, bit pointless bringing them in really.

Holly (aka Cheryl) has confirmed she's off on Twitter

Sarah and Zoe sleeping with each other happened at the very end of his reign. Along with Louise's exit, I wouldn't say he relied on the gay characters as much as Corrie does now.

Or maybe I look back on BK's time at Hollyoaks with rose-tinted glasses given I think Warren/Louise/Clare etc when he's mentioned.

It went against the characters we grew up watching them being straight and having no hints about being attracted to girls to suddenly going that way?

I loved the Clare era and Max/OB etc wish Clare would come back again one day, despite the mess of her last comeback because HO is in need of a bad girl!

Really stupid how Amber comes back and she's suddenly gay? And Sophie falls for her even though she's in love with probably the hottest girl on the street? Very hard to believe that storyline is true!
Although I do believe that Sacha is leaving. Bad decision from the show!

The thing about Sophie and Sian is the relationship was so insular, their stories would only ever revolve around them, with Amber both characters have well established families in the street

Exactly. Soaps always make the same mistakes when it comes to gay storylines. They can't introduce gay characters they have to turn already established characters (sonia, Sarah, Sophie etc) gay and then it just so happens a friend, neighbour, classmate is going through the exact same thing. As if those coincidences aren't enough, these two characters happen to fancy each other as well. Just like straight people, not all gay people are attracted to each other.

Looks like Sacha is confirming it, she's RT messages about people being sad she's leaving
