According to the newspaper Sophie has already finished filming at the soap and is taking a brief break from acting before she resumes her career.

Her character Ellie is currently devastated after losing her baby with Sami Maalik unaware that he was framing her brother James for murder.

However with the supposed victim Kyle Kelly having been discovered alive by Harry Thompson last week, Sami’s plan could soon be exposed.

Ellie has been through a tough time since arriving in the village.

She put her own father in the hospital after finding him assaulting her younger brother.

And with family loyalty like that, Sami should be terrified of what she will be capable of when she discovers what he’s done to her brother James.
