I feel more annoyed at the script writers than at 'Jason Grimshaw'.
How they could write this is beyond me.
Todd and Jason have been through so much together. Remember when Todd helped him get over his father's betrayal a year or two ago? There is NO WAY Jason would call Todd a 'dirty queer'. The scriptwriters have let Jason's character down just so they can make their point about homophobia.
I could believe Jason might be shocked and upset but he would never say that, and certainly not in public either. Shame on the scriptwriters for getting carried away.
Re: !
Personally I think it's good they wrote that, although I don't agree with what he said, it does outline what we have to put up with everyday. (well, occasionally anyway)
I felt so sorry for Todd when Jason said that, and hopefully all the homophobes out there will have felt sorry for him aswell, and will think twice in future. But then again, i doubt homophobes watch corrie lol.
o
what jason said to todd was just fucking nasty there was no need for it he should be there for this younger brother not calling him names what a wanker he best say he sorry in the next corrie
also can anyone else get on to Digital spy site cause i cant i think i may have crashed

Not unrealistic though: my mate's bro literally battered him when he discovered he was on the other bus
Re: And Let The Jason Grimshaw Bashing Commence...
Tonight's episodes were actually really painful for me to watch. I just wanted to tell my sister I was gay to get it out in the open, and I thought there were many things that could have been left out of the episodes.
Like Les' pathetic gag about keeping his bum to walls in future. That was so not necessary. And Nick and David giggling in the street was truly awful - I felt so much for Todd. And Jason, that was just terrible what he said at the end. It was just so heartbreaking for Todd whilst everyone watched....
I know Jason will come around in time, but this was a bad way to portray it. God, I swear if I go to school tomorrow and there's the usual guys saying homophobic stuff about the episodes, I might just let rip and fucking kill them...verbally, of course
O-Ren Ishii: The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is - I collect your fucking head!
Re: And Let The Jason Grimshaw Bashing Commence...
Yeah yur right Buffy, I think Jason will come round too. It was heartbreaking when Todd looked back at them. What was sad about tonites episodes was seeing Todd actually crying. It's as if he has been bottling it up for weeks. My poor baby
coming out
Yeah its definitely stopped me from coming out. I don't want the whole community turning against me in that way. I just couldnt cope with it. I cant see them accepting him ever either.
I did love it tho when Gail likened Todd,his brother and Charlie to the village people. Classic!
Really enjoyed corrie three parter. Best episodes ever i think.
Re: coming out
I think it was realistic i mean Jason is the kind of bloke who if you saw him walking down the street that you would think he was homophobic and to find out his brother is gay doesn't mean that all stops just cos he is his brother. My brother doen't like the fact that i'm gay particulary so i dont like the way you say it's un-nessercary and stuff cos it portraying real life.. if everyone jsut sat round and discussed it over tea and biscits and then kiss and made up it would hardly be inthalling television would it
Re: coming out
Without watching it, it portrayed A situation... not THE situation. Not everyone will encounter such problems. ah well, let the backlash begin. I couldn't give two fucks anyway, don't watch it.
Re: coming out
Mark26 and Buffy, I agree with you both on what you have said as that's what I would have said before if I got here quicker.
I'd protect you Buffy if anyone said anything to you at school.
Poor Todd and bastard Jason who better apologise and love his brother quick, or I'll stamp on his balls.
Tortoise, if your mate's brother still hurts him and other gay men and doesn't like gays then he needs to be shot dead then. I hate homophobes as they are nasty, evil cunts, full stop.
