Talk:Sophie Porley

Birth year
Is there a source for a birth year of 1992? The only Sophie Porley born according to UK records is Sophie Elizabeth Porley, b. 1987, at Thurrock, Essex. Company records have a 'Sophie Elizabeth Porley', b. 1987, 'actor', as a director of 'Eleventh Moon Ltd' ('television programme production activities') since 2017. This would also fit with Sophie Porley leaving Hollyoaks to pursue 'new ventures', as reported in the media.

On her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/p/BH7VEDwABLm/?hl=en&taken-by=sophieporley) this image, where she models knitwear as a child, is captioned 'Keeping it cool since the 90s'- if she was born in 1992, that only leaves 7 years for her to have been in said image, and she looks older than that, to me; if, however, she was born in 1987, the photograph being from 'the 90s' is easier to believe. On her Twitter (https://twitter.com/sophieporley/status/740283704472391680) she states: 'So my fellow Essex boy (sic) is joining Love Island (etc etc)'. This supports her likely identity as the Sophie Elizabeth Porley b. 1987 as above.

edit: Also here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BDbdxk3qLVQ/?hl=en&taken-by=sophieporley where she mentions Lakeside, a shopping centre in West Thurrock (one of her friends, in the comments, includes the hashtag 'EssexCrews', to remove any doubt.)

Sophie Elizabeth Porley birth registered in England and Wales Birth Registration Index, 1837-2008 in November 1987 at Thurrock, Essex, quarter This is the only Sophie Porley born in the U.K. There was a Caitlin Sophie Porley b. Yorkshire, 1997, and a few Sophia Porleys born in the 1800s, and that's it.

The only marriage in the U.K. was between 'Porley' and 'Clark' was between Gary E. Porley and Angela P. Clark in 1974 at Thurrock, and the only other Porley births, mother 'Clark' are at Thurrock: Daniel John (b. 1977), Lucie Marie (b. 1979), and Amie Louise (b. 1986). Given this and the above, there doesn't seem any reason to remove the birth year of 1987- available in publicly-available company records- from the article just because some fan insists she's still in her 20s. Even the press reports this being her age: https://www.ok.co.uk/celebrity-news/1482387/hollyoaks-sophie-porley-adam-woodward-dating-kiss-ellie-nightingale-brody-hudson

Picking a sibling at random, Amie Porley brings up her Facebook (under her married name, but the URL still has 'Porley'), which lists Daniel, Lucie and the Sophie in question (commenting on a photo regarding their father) amongst her friends. Notwithstanding this being 'original research', this all seems fairly unequivocal, and the company record alone ought to suffice for inclusion of a 1987 birth year on this article pending provision by the invested user(s) of her birth year being 1992. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.201.11 (talk) 00:02, 23 November 2018 (UTC)


 * It's so weird that like four years later, people are still trying to add 1992 to this article, when all the details above make it totally clear she's born in 1987. Aren't there ANY decent sources making reference to her age? Just seems quite strange honestly. Actually, the OK Magazine source giving her age as 30 in 2018 should be good enough, since if you search for it as a source you find loads of uses in Wikipedia- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=OK+Magazine&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&fulltext=1&ns0=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.165.191 (talk) 03:46, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
