Sophie in Series One

Personality[]

Sophie is seen to have slightly more common sense than Brian but is still quite clueless and easily led with persuasion. She usually goes along with Brian’s schemes which often end in disaster. However she has been seen to be caring and have a good motherly instinct, at least for an alien. The first incarnation of Sophie appears at surface level to be rather ditzy, speaking in a high pitched voice and often making stupid comments. However, through the first two series Sophie is revealed to be smarter then she lets on as she quickly uncovers most of Josh's schemes and is often caring and understanding towards the children. The second incarnation of Sophie (when Carla took other the role) is shown to be less dumb and slightly less clueless and no longer spoke in a high pitch voice. However, Sophie was still easily persuaded to go along with Brian's schemes.

Trivia[]

  • Brian and Sophie are the only characters to appear in all episodes.
  • Barbara Durkin returns to the role as Aunt Sophie in the episode, Thanks For All The Earthworm Custard.
  • Carla Mendonça took over the role of Sophie in Series 3 following the departure of Barbara Durkin.
  • The in universe explanation for Sophie's change is that after morphing into Mel in Crazy for You, Sophie finds herself unable to morph back into her original form and instead decides to stay as she is. The other characters which are unaware that Sophie is an alien question whether she had dyed her hair, but other then that Sophie's change in appearance is not questioned any further. Sophie's changed in appearance is next brought up in the series finale Thanks For All The Earthworm Custard where Sophie explains that she used to be blonde. CJ also questions that a picture of Barbara Durkin as Sophie is not Sophie until Josh explains that's what Sophie used to look like.
  • In Thanks For All The Earthworm Custard Pete questions Aunt Sophie asking if they had met before. This references Barbara Durkin playing Sophie in Series 1 and 2.
  • In Aliens Go Home we see Brian first pick his human form, and transform into Tony Gardner. Due to Barbara Durkin leaving the previous series Sophie instead morphs into a rabbit. The events in this episode are contradicted in the episode Thanks For All The Earthworm Custard.
