I was really surprised with Mick's reaction, and I'm so pleased with it, its really boosted up his appeal as a character for me, definitely shot to the top. Really moving scene between the 2 of them.

I hope many Father's out there with gay children take a look at this scene.
It was really emotional and like I said in another thread, it was nice to see a parent understanding.
I liked that it ended with a touch of humour. (The Nancy comment).
The family are so natural and work so well together.
Watch this space!
Agree with that, refreshing to see a father be understanding (unlike Phil) of his son's sexual preferences regardless of what they are. I really like Mick for this, and what is more refreshing is that Mick seems to be very much a man's man, not like say Ian Beale who i would usually expect this level of understanding from, so not the typical reaction i would normally expect from a guy like Mick so that's really nice to see. Great decision DTC - once again he got it right.
As for Johnny i really felt for him then, i don't agree with him either, a person is a person regardless of sexual preferences, race etc, there is nothing wrong with being whoever you are and being proud of that. Really felt for him tonight, i feel like that is something he has needed to get out in the open for a while
Really emotional, but well done scene at the end with those two characters tonight, what a fantastic dad he seems to his son
Well yeah when Mick was saying to him "it's part of who the person is" or something along those lines;
and not that Johnny should be ashamed or anything no matter how hard a parent might find it to be.
It was a very refreshing and poignant attitude from a father's perspective to their son's sexuality and coming-out as gay.
Yeh, for me it's up there with Max breaking down and telling Tanya about Jim locking him in a coffin - I still remember that scene 6 or so years later!
