There's less than 100 tweets surely, I didn't look at them but there wasn't hundreds.

One thing I found funny was the tweets saying they've watched Corrie for the last time. Like they are going to care they get at least 8 million viewers a week, one or two won't matter.
exactly. just the red tops making something out of nothing.

sure there will have been thousands of tweets praising the story/kiss at the same time but they focus on the ridiculous and minority

It's probably because it would get far more readers if they focus on the homophobes as opposed to those who praised it.

It wasn't a shock to see complaints to be honest, but seriously some of these people are straight from the 1900's.
I am habitually scandalised by the ham acting from several repeat offenders on Corrie. Where's my helpline?

I don't think troglodytes have mastered the ability to log on to DS and create threads.

After witnessing some 'acting' in Corrie I desperately need a helpline.

To be honest though it was good they did the scene like they did, with both Todd and Billy getting into it and kissing passionately like that. Anything to piss off homophobes just that little bit more.

I think we need to start referring to Billy by his biblical name

Spread the word Jesus is re-born

For me it's when the older characters play tonsil tennis, reminds you of your parents doing it. Don't mind it so much with the younger characters though.

I meant to say only some older characters, those like Gail from Corrie who has been through more husbands than ever and acts like a simpering E.T.

Dot can be excused, she's lovely
