What Have They Done To Corrie?

 

From Jason Shaw

 

Brian Sewell, one of the most ridiculous homophobic bisexual art critic hits out again at popular culture,  this time in a Daily Mail column.  It’s single purpose seems to be to enrage the gay community, pour scorn and contempt on TV soap Coronation Street.    Before you read the article,  remember this is the man that said he considered it ‘an affliction’ that he was attracted to men and a disability.  That ‘the public don’t know good from bad’   and wants everyone on the north to have  “a pox or a plague upon the North so they can all just die quietly”

Coronation Street gets first gay parents

 

Gay Coronation Street characters Sean Tully and Marcus Dent are to become parents.  At least according to the Sun newspaper in the UK. 

First ‘gay wedding’ for UK Soap?

Top UK soap,  Coronation Street is to hold its first gay ‘wedding’ according to media reports circulating around the UK.  Some say, midwife Marcus Dent returns to the show and rekindles his relationship with the popular factory worker and barman Sean,  played superbly by the lovely Antony Cotton.   According to various reports, the couple tie knot in a civil partnership.

The Sun newspaper, reported  that the soap opera’s openly gay producer Phil Collinson wants to give Antony Cotton’s character one of the biggest roles in 2011 story lines.    Therefore it seems perfect timing to bring back the gay love interest for Sean.   The show also has a lesbian couple,   Sophie Webster  played  by Brooke Vincent and Sian Powers whose played by Sacha Parkinson.
According to the paper,  an insider told them   “Bringing back Charlie is seen as a big platform for him and in particular Antony who is well liked and admired by the boss. When Marcus turns up in Weatherfield in the spring he is desperate to rekindle his romance.     But having hurt him once, Sean is apprehensive until Marcus offers him commitment, with the future storyline leading to Corrie’s first same sex marriage.”

The soap, celebrated its 50th anniversary last year and a few of the stars led the gay Pride parade in Manchester in August.  However,   Antony Cottom pointed out that whilst Marcus does return to the show,  nothing at all has been fully and finally decided about the future of the two characters.
