Coronation Street - Sarah and Todd (part 1) 28/05/04

[@claretblue2509]

7:01 When Kirk said “bad one mate” Jason had already walked away lol

[@PinkBabeOx]

Love Corrie but the homophobia is so painful to watch. He was terrible for cheating on his pregnant girlfriend, yes. But doesn’t make it ok to be homophobic!

[@pogmothoinriiii]

homophobia wasn’t even a serious thing back then lmao

[@PinkBabeOx]

@@pogmothoinriiii I know that’s what’s surprising lmao

[@pogmothoinriiii]

@@PinkBabeOx ever since then, it’s become more noticeable and people have been more advocatory especially with social media.

[@arunicahom-choudhury1641]

Jason was being horrible to Todd, nothing wrong with being gay.

[@lennyattew734]

They’re only acting ❤️

[@ada4927]

It really is telling how everyone used Sarah’s pain as an excuse to do and say the most horrifically bigoted stuff to Todd. Hits too close to home tbh

[@stemple11100]

True, shows that with a lot of people, homophobia is there just below the surface even in a much more “tolerant” society

[@emmyjo720]

Sarah has every reason to be hurt and angry. Todd pushed her into having a baby, she left her family, hurt her mother and let Todd into Bethanny’s life... And if Todd had cheated with another woman nobody would excuse it.. Finding out you are gay is not a reason wilfully break someone’s heart, especially a teenager who is carrying your baby.

[@emmyjo720]

@@stemple11100 It isn’t about homophobia it is about a pregnant 17 year old who has been cheated on and had her heart broken. The language is her hitting out but now Todd is Godfather to Harry.

[@cutieelise]

I don’t think they’re mean to Todd in the sense they’re homophobic. They’re upset and mad at him for what he did to Sarah. He pushed her to getting married, having a baby, and then he slept with another guy in THEIR bed. He cheated on his pregnant (fiancée?) with a man! As the mother or father of the pregnant girl or even the girl, wouldn’t you be upset too?

[@LadyCheshire95]

It was 2004 literally 18 years ago things were different. We cannot judge the past with the values of today. We can only grow as people.

[@Alwpiano]

I laugh when Kirk asks if Todd's definitely a 'bender'. Only Kirk could get away with that, due to his blatant lack of social skills 🤣🤣

[@petey3965]

They wouldn't get away with it nowadays.

[@Alwpiano]

@petey3965 they wouldn't have that on the show nor get away with it. I can not imagine this being said about Paul and the others.

[@tay2229]

6:25 Respect for Rita. Pretty much the only character taking a stand against homophobia (other than Eileen, of course).

[@MaddSteppa2024]

Jason calling Todd ‘Golden boy’ when Jason looks like one himself

[@mfitzy100]

The dialogue and story seems so outdated now. And this was only 2004

[@tay2229]

Rita is the one in this video who seems the most "indated" and she's about the oldest.

[@pogmothoinriiii]

Brilliant acting by Sue Cleaver at the end

[@Itsclarkew7]

I remember watching this a year before I came out. It frightened me with all the homophobia. It was definitely leaning towards sympathising with Sarah.

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

he cheated on Sarah with a man of course it was sympathising with Sarah, as it should be or should we sympathise with cheats these days? prat.

[@glen7318]

Sarah is not exactly Ms Faithful even now@@Matthew-bu7fg

[@Itsclarkew7]

@@Matthew-bu7fgcheating don’t agree with at all. All the homophobia

[@lucasbaker-qc2mf]

I like when jason said ''Like golden boy being a bender''

[@sarahmason833]

I Feel sorry for Sarah,The Fact that she was used to find out how Todd feels wrong that's why Gail was so Angry,Because he made a Fool of Sarah & leading on,I have Family Members who are Gay,So I'm not a Homofobic,But the way Todd handled it was out of order especially with a 17 year old single Mum who just wanted a Dad for her Daughter & ended up being a Single Mum of 2 😭

[@startracker5895]

Why didn’t Jason mind that Sean was gay? He was friends with him. So all this horrible attitude towards his own brother didn’t make sense.

[@brwhizz3060]

It kind of did. He thought it was fine as long as it wasn’t his own brother.

[@blazedcams]

because he grew up and his views changed as he grew as a person

[@carolynfastories7074]

Sean arrived some time after Todd came out. He befriended Eileen and the family and he needed somewhere to stay, so they had Sean live at their house as a lodger. By that point Jason accepted his brother for who he was, and his outlook had changed x

[@gamerboy1948]

He liked sarah

[@jamiecouper8946]

Despite what Todd did. Why was Jason so homophobic?

[@CRex]

Unintelligent people are often homophobic. :P

[@mai-qc5in]

it was like that from god knows when till like 2011

[@sharonhopton]

Is EVERYONE in Corrie homophobic?????

[@jacobmassey3897]

Yes. I dont necessarily believe people are born gay but I still think homophobia is disgusting especially on this level.

[@sashaking1111]

@@jacobmassey3897 I agree!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡

[@sashaking1111]

@@kayleighteasdale2919 yes, that’s true. But some of the things they say are questionable

[@jacobmassey3897]

@@kayleighteasdale2919 the things they said are still incredibly offensive to people who are unsure of their sexuality. What Todd did was wrong but the reason why he did it and Sarah's selfish and hurtful reaction didnt help. She's still a kid and was pressuring Todd into marrying her and to then say she was going to abort his baby made me hate her even more. I at least expected Jaspn to give him some kind of support dispite being angry with him for cheating on Sarah but he's just as homophobic as the rest if them. I'm at least glad that David pretty much stayed out of this because he and Martin are the only Platts I like.

[@kaysmith8992]

Don't forget this was the early 2000s which was still more homophobic than now, pretty sure it was the same in EastEnders or Brookside (not including lesbians because society has always been a bit more tolerant of that)
