Antony Cotton wants a "big gay wedding" for his 'Coronation Street' character Sean Tully.
Antony Cotton wants 'big gay Corrie wedding'
The 47-year-old actor admitted he would love for his alter-ego to find his soulmate and celebrate with a huge bash on the cobbles.
According to MailOnline, he said: "Without a doubt it would be fantastic to see a big gay wedding on the street and yes it would be a lovely storyline for Sean with mishaps along the way, things getting cancelled and people not turning up but with a lovely happy day at the end."
However, he admitted his fears that Sean finding happiness might mean a lack of interesting scripts for his character.
He said: "But there is also a flip side which is once you are settled that is when people can stop writing stories for the character. I guess it depends on what the story is, but I would definitely like there to be a wedding one day in the future that involves Sean."
And, Sean is unlikely to get his fairytale any time soon, after hearing allegations from Todd Grimshaw that his current partner Laurence murdered his wife.
He said: "From a drama point of view this is a classic boy who cried wolf story that Todd has said everything out loud about Laurence that he could possibly say but there is always going to be that one time when something might be true.
"But of course Todd being the way he is regardless of whether things are true or not it is always about what is the motive. Todd seems to always have a motive for anything he does.
"Sean doesn't have a motive for anything. He messes up and can be deeply irritating at times but it is never through malice.
"When Sean is on his own he starts to think about what Todd has said about how Laurence's wife has died and Sean has been so unlucky in love that he is used to that feeling and that default mode that it is really simple and quick for him to go that place again and think the worst of Laurence.
"As soon as Todd puts a flea in his ear, about what he knows about Laurence, Sean reacts badly and tells him he's a spiteful evil liar but the moment he gets two minutes to himself he starts thinking you know what it is probably true."
'Coronation Street' airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
