I don't think so

His response was to immediately tell Linda, who responded by warning Whitney off.

It looked like he did actually, lol
Danny Dyer probably forgot that he was acting

Something did not look right with the kiss seriously. It looked like Mick gave in to Whitney's kiss!

No. he wa horrified. I hope they don't go down that route

If he did it would have only been for a few seconds/maybe one minute before pulling away - he's only human and it's not easy to know how to react if someone kisses you unexpectedly. I think if I remember rightly they both pulled away at the same time but when Max kissed Stacey on her wedding day she reciprocated briefly before saying no and it was the same with Sean and Tanya - nobody's perfect.

Makes me laugh how in soaps people just stand or sit like statues while the woman/man leans in for a kiss and they only ever pull back after the kiss. I mean I get that sometimes it's hard to move out of the way so I don't blame Mick in this case, but it happens too often in soaps. Why does almost nobody in soaps ever pull back before the snog?

I'd be jumping out of the way personally. Mind you, if I was Mick in that situation, I'd probably not bothered trying to move out of the way and enjoyed the kiss instead, so fair play to the bloke.

BIB - I think Tina did when Gary tried to kiss her but I agree that it's rare in soaps.

Ah yes, indeed, that seems to be one of the rare cases.

Glad you agree, any other instances you can think of?
