Because Sean hasn't had a love interest in a few years. Plus they are delving into Todd's past and what he got up to off-screen soon, so I don't think a love interest would have worked in to that.

Todd is one of my faves and i really like Billy and think it would be more interesting to pair these two.

No it's awful
To say someone has to be forced to accept someone who's doing things in their establishmenet they don't agree with is wrong
You might agree with it and think you're right but others would have the opposite view
No opinion should just be the accepted norm
Because it is that. An opinion

BIB This. ^^^

Corrie were definitely just jumping on this story to make a point and give Sean a SL. Was it all done and dusted in a double ep? Is that it or will they take it further? We didn't even see any planning for the trip. Sean and Billy into hiking. Who'd a thought it?!

As for Sean, I agree. The trouble with Sean is......

Well, one of the problems with Sean is: another is it's all about him being gay. So we get over-acted, camp cringeyness that belongs back in the days of John (I'm Free!) Inman.

Personally, I think this is insulting to gay people. There's more to everyone than just their sexuality. If Corrie want to rip-off a decent SL involving hikers and country pubs, they should look no further than An American Werewolf in London!

I've seen the "we reserve the right to refuse entry/services without reason" signs in places.

Does that mean nothing then and should I be refused say entry to say a club I can demand to know why because it may be because I could be gay, I'm white/Welsh/Muslim etc and the without reason is simply a try at getting round the law and they don't have to say cos your gay/black/white or whatever.

You can ask the reason, but the person refusing admission, service or whatever is under no obligation to give a reason.

If you believe it's unlawful discrimination, then the onus is on you to prove it.

Excellent post.

Legally you haven't, your business is not considered a public area like a railway station, council building, pavement, park etc.

As for "right to refuse admission" signs, its literally a "If you are a group of men you aren't allowed in" sign. They'll use some BS reason like you've had too much to drink even if sober as a judge.

Regardless of whether he is gay or not Sean is just dreadful and yes any storyline of his will be met with hostility so as a gay man I'd rather this had occurred to any other gay character in soaps. Because even I don't support Sean in this cause I wouldn't want him in my establishment due to the dreadfulness of his personality.

Opinion is irrelevant, it's the law.

Wasn't the is Emily a homophobe story done and dusted in a double episode too?

Corrie are either too scared to really tackle homophobia and so fob the issue off with these tiny and insubstantial story lines or they know Sean simply cannot deliver anything that requires gravitas so get round it with these silly diversions.

I saw this earlier.

Thought the whole thing was cringe-making and awkward.

CS never does well when it get's on it's soap box (save that for EE who know what they're doing) but Sean just doesn't have the range to do serious scene's.

Anything like this with him involved is going to be embarrassing and it was,,,

The actor playing the Vicar looked like he wanted to the earth to swallow him up and I'm not entirely sure it was just because the story-line required it.

Why not ?


I like Sean. He's a nice person.



Todd is an evil vile character.

Billy is great I really like the character and the actor it's just a shame he has been paired with Sean

I was another one who thought it was clunky and badly acted. I must have missed the landlord looking put out at Sean's comment and couldn't understand why they both leapt to the conclusion the landlord was making the double booking thing up.

It may have been better if one of them had taking a wrong turning going to the loo or something, and overhearing the landlord saying to someone else he didn't want them in the pub. The way it was done seemed very forced and false.

Hmmm, yes he's so 'nice' he screams homophobia at a defenceless old woman in the Rovers at the drop of a hat.
Lovely guy...

Ok I stand corrected and will amend my statement to 'only one person likes Sean'

Exactly.


I haven't heard about that. The only storylines I thought Todd had was the 'revenge' plot.


It definitely would have been. I find Todd a more believeable gay character than Sean.

At one point, I thought that the storyline was going to be that the pub had got hold of Betty's secret hotpot recipe, and Sean would be obsessed with trying to find out who was the mole.

Sean is a knob.

As an aside, I detest how the hotpot has become 'Sean's' - Betty would never have passed on her recipe to him.

Even if he did scream that word, he is obliged to follow the script.
Agreed


Too late

Isn't it just
Such disrespect to Betty

Sean is an evil character, just like the vile creature who plays him.

Todd is a believable character, and Bruno Langley is a terrific actor, unlike Miss Mince-a-lot.

Sean is one of those who just likes to call everyone homophobic when things don't go his way. Personally if I was refused service somewhere I'd go elsewhere. Even if I don't think I should I wouldn't want to ruin my night by having a argument for nothing more than attention that in the end gets the same result. You won't be staying at that place so get on with you life and less drama. Words like homophobic and bigot get thrown about so much these days that they have lost all meaning.
