COMING OUT…SHAM MARRIAGE…GAY POWER…BACK TO THE CLOSET…
Charliecondou: Im going to come out now RT @PatrickStrud: A column about why gay people in public life have a moral duty to come out. http://t.co/N3nTRFsE
sueperkins: @Charliecondou @PatrickStrud Me too x
Brendan_Surrey: @Charliecondou @PatrickStrud We need our Rosa Parks moment, it can't be public transport though, can glitter balls be involved somehow?
Charliecondou: @sueperkins @PatrickStrud You do realise Sue, that if we both come out, we can never have a sham wedding. That ship will have sailed forever
sueperkins: @Charliecondou @PatrickStrud Then I am heading straight back in. Our sham marriage is all I live for and I won't give it up. I won't!
Charliecondou: First Anderson Cooper, now Matt Bomer! They're going to top all those gay power lists now, you watch. I should have waited til I was famous!
mollie5555: @Charliecondou maybe you could sneak back in the closet and then reemerge dramatically. Straight to top of all lists ….unless TC & JT nah!
Charliecondou: @mollie5555 lol
fastcheetahhh: @Charliecondou you're famous?
Charliecondou: @fastcheetahhh only very slightly

SprQrFn: @Charliecondou Isn't first Matt Bomer, now Anderson Cooper?
Charliecondou: @SprQrFn oh, yes
redOrly: I will finally have to face the reality that Anderson Cooper will never be mine! Such a huge crush!
Charliecondou: @redOrly on the plus side, he might be mine
redOrly: @Charliecondou Well that is just great for you! Very happy for you! *walks away to sulk!* :)

Above & below: Marcus (Charlie Condou) stays at Maria's place. Maria has an offer too good to refuse!
Below: Aiden (Toby Sawyer) is waiting in the wings for Marcus to move on.
THE FANS SPEAK
richfly: Charlie is decent-looking, and clearly has a nice lil bod on him. The short, short black boxers only add to the obvious appeal.
molley: Is this the preamble to Charlie leaving? ..I'd rather it was Anthony Cotton ...That character needs a right slap!
josh.blue: I think he was popular at one point when AC first joined the street, but I think that over the past few years his popularity has waned as he seems to be playing a rather one-note character, and is of limited thespian capability. Plus he's also a notorious diva off screen
craig08: Id rather it was Jack Shepherd and Charlie
RodRoxoff: I like Marcus....he's a good character. Sean is a pain in the arse ! I'll bet that's why Bruno Langley left the Street, because they were planning on pairing his gay Todd with Sean !!
Above: Life goes on at the Rovers Return
THE FANS CONTINUE TO SPEAK
KimberleyEscada: I'm a casual Corrie viewer, and until they were having the argument last night, I hadn't clicked they were a couple! I though Sean and Marcus were just friends. They don't seem well suited at all and I wouldn't have put Sean down as Marcus's type.
Shevk: Marcus was designed with the whole purpose of being a love interest for Sean. (IIRC he was introduced when Violet was having her pregnancy scan for Dylan) I agree though that he works best independent of Sean and is a much more appealing character than Sean is. Might be a SOR that Marcus would stay on Coronation Street if he and Sean break-up, but taking Marcus in a new direction would definitely benefit his character. The problem with Sean is that he's just too volatile, clingy (self-centred) etc and I don't buy Marcus being hopelessly devoted to him or the two getting married and having babies.
KornerKabin: I think the production team haven't quite 'got it right' with these two, which is ironic as many viewers seem to bleat on that Corrie is too gay. The biggest problem for me is that I just don't believe that they'd still be living at No.11. I do not know one long-term gay couple who would settle for sharing a poky converted front room in a dingy terraced house that they share with at least 27 other people. They'd have moved out long since, especially as they're both in their early thirties. It's all a bit of a tragic picture really, isn't it? The gays can't cope out in the big wide world so they need to be looked after by Mama Eileen - that's my reading anyway. Conversely, straight couples in Corrie move in together in the blink of an eye. In the case of Carla Connor, dumping a plush, quayside apartment in favour of Peter's grubby 70s style pad. If the production team had moved Sean and Marcus into Victoria Court, for instance, their relationship might've been a bit more believable. Heck, they could've even moved them into Jason's flat above the Kabin many months ago - but that was quickly reserved for Tina and Tommy. I sound like a proper gay rights activist. Love Marcus - especially over the past few months. I'd love to see him away from Sean but staying on the street as he's a 100000000x more rounded character than Sean can or ever will be. Remember when Tim Healy came in as Sean's dad and they had that 'storyline', yet Sean showed no empathy with Aidan who was in an very similar situation.
maisymoo: Well in that case.... (see pic)
FANS NOT HAPPY WITH COTTON
Uncle Quentin: I like Marcus, I feel sorry for the chap that plays him having to act all his scenes with that idiot Cotton. Sooner or later, he'll get dragged down to his woeful level.
Evilredzebra: I think a lot of it is down to the acting. To even call Anthony Cotton one dimensional would be to give him too much credit. I imagine the writers are probably a little challenged when writing for Sean as they know that whatever dialogue they produce will be massacred and played with the emotional depth of a puddle in a drought.
mrsdaisychain: I can't actually stand him anymore. His acting or attempt at acting is getting worse instead of better. Let's take working in the factory, he doesn't sew on the machine, he just picks at the garment continually. That's all you see him doing, never using the actual machine. It was just pure embarrassment watching him trying to act like a drunk, I was cringing. I hate the way he waltzes up to people and ear wigs their conversations, or just sticks his big nose in. What the producers in the street keep him for, I'll never ever, know. Wish they would get shut.
Bakepres: He can't act at all but we're forced to endure him because none of his bosses have the balls to admit it.
Glomper: He is allegedly a close friend of the producer Phil Collinson!
Uncle Quentin: Oh yes, if only they would - I live for the day they finally get rid of Cotton. Sadly that's not likely whilst Collinson wields the power. I / we just wouldn't get that lucky. I've watched Corrie since the mid 70s & I have to say, he's the worst character EVER bar none - on that score he has no equal.

Hell, I feel I must be completely alone on this forum which was highlighted to me today - I love Sean, and as someone mentioned above, I am too a long standing viewer since the mid 70s. Yeah, Corie is way different now, but so is life. Sean is all most of you say he is, highly insecure (hardly suprising as he was duped into fathering a baby only for that child to be taken away from him) so I, for one don't blame him for being hesitant in wanting another, I cannot imagine what having your child taken away must be like (says me, a grandmother of 2).
ReplyDeleteSean's jealously would drive all of us mad, but come on, can anyone honestly say they have never been in his position of being absoultely heartbroken when you realise the person you love so much is slipping away and it's largely because of you. I actually think Sean and Marcus made a highly believeable couple - though I have had my credibility stretched slightly (as someone else mentioned) that both would still be living with Eileen (though I love her to bits as she's a lot like me). In the real world they would probably have their own place, but this is a soap and all the characters have to live on top of each other to spark of tension and incidents as well as the iconic humour which Corrie is best known for and makes it far better than the others.
Having watched Monday's episodes as well I fear this storyline is going along the Maria will have a child for Marcus route (haven't we been here before?) which I guess many viewers would love but what would happen (history repeats itself) when Maria eventually meets the man of her dreams. Beware Charlie! Don't do it. As for Sean, well he'll live to find another man, despite what he thinks now, they both will, please God (J Harvey) don't let Aiden be Marcus' new love interest - he's awful!!!
Charile, that bit with the photo CD and the memories was the best line in the whole story, truly heartbreaking.
