Sally Webster

Sally Webster (née Seddon), played by Sally Whittaker, is a fictional character in the British television soap opera Coronation Street.

A teenage Sally first appeared in 1986 when she met Kevin Webster after he accidentally drenched her when driving through a puddle; he offered her a ride home so she could change and they began dating. She later married him, despite their vastly different personalities. Sally's family, the Seddons, were dominated by a violent father, and Sally herself had a chequered past. The couple became lodgers of Hilda Ogden, and Sally gradually settled down.

Sally has two daughters by Kevin, Rosie and Sophie. When Sally gave birth to her first child in 1990, she was in a taxi on Rosamund Street, so she named her baby Rosie. In 1994, she named her second child Lauren, but Rosie kept calling her 'Sophie', so Sally legally changed her name. Sally worked as a childminder for a time, and also worked in Mike Baldwin's factory as a clerical assistant. After Kevin had an affair with an older woman, Natalie Horrocks, Sally allowed their relationship to continue only for the sake of the children. She later met Greg Kelly, who persuaded her to help him steal Baldwin's customer list, which resulted in Sally losing her job and leaving Kevin. She and Greg were unsuited, and he was eventually sent to prison.

Sally divorced Kevin, and was about to marry Danny, whom she had met while running a stall at the open market, but he backed out of the wedding when he learned she had been unfaithful with Kevin. After a brief relationship with Martin Platt, she remarried Kevin for monetary reasons and to give the children stability. There are some indications that she does actually love him once again, although she cheated on him in 2005.

Sally is ambitious, sometimes even arrogant, and is considered by various Street residents (Janice Battersby in particular) to be quite snobby. Such behaviour is apparent in her attempts to live above her station. In the past she has pressured her family to do much of what she tells them. She tried to force her daughter Rosie into a prestigious school; Rosie did not want to go. Another event saw her become envious of a friend's large house.

Once, in fear of being constantly regarded by her daughters as the "bad guy", Sally would intentionally act passive and forgiving whenever the girls acted up, making Kevin out to be the mean, unfair parent when he scolded them for their behaviour. Kevin eventually got his revenge when he and the girls trashed their house while Sally was out. When she returned home and saw the mess, she couldn't keep up her act and became angry, feeling as though her role in the family was unimportant. Kevin told her otherwise, declaring that she always keeps the family in order and on their toes, and that she is genuinely appreciated by all.'

Sally has decided to take an A-Level in English and has been getting help from John Stape, who she seems to be growing a crush on. On 5th November Sally admitted her feelings to John during a lesson and was upset when he told her that her feelings weren't reciprocated. Rosie walked in on her mum being upset by John's rejection and wanted to know what was going on. Later John told her so Rosie is now fully aware that her mum is interested in her lover. Also John has stopped the lessons with Sally. On 19th November after John went to the factory to talk to Sally about Rosie and Lee Sally got something in her eye. John tried to help get it out but it looked like they were in a compromising position, just as Fiz and Sean entered the factory. Fiz got the wrong end of the stick and thought they were kissing before slapping Sally.
