Corrie is to get its first gay kiss, reports Friday's Daily Express. Todd Grimshaw, played by actor Bruno Langley, will be seen making a pass at Nicky Platt, played by gay pin-up Adam Rickitt who returns to the soap in the first week of September. Todd, who's confused about his sexuality, will be seen kissing Nick after a drunken night out and they end up on the sofa together. Nick reacts badly and storms out of the flat. A Corrie source told the newspaper: “The scene will be screened on 5 October and is guaranteed to provoke a huge reaction. |

“It will be the first gay kiss we have done and we are expecting a varied response from viewers. | |
|
“Todd has been wrestling with his sexuality and the Street never shies away from
the big issues. It will be done in typical Street fashion and the episode will be a cracker.”
Even though Coronation Street is set in what has to be the gayest city in the UK, Manchester, there's never been a gay kiss screened in the show's 43 year history. Corrie is also the only soap on British tv yet to run a gay storyline. |
