Gareth Pierce gets candid about his gay character’s storyline on British soap “Coronation Street”

I don’t know how it’s happened but I am now completely hooked on the British soaps Emmerdale and Coronation Street. One of the biggest reasons in the intriguing storylines involving the gay, lesbian and bisexual characters on the shows.

The relationship between the adorable Todd and the sexy but tortured Theo on Coronation Street in far more layered than I imagined it would be.

In this interview, Gareth Pierce, who plays Todd, talks about the show’s coercive control storyline and the impact it’s having. Plus, he has the advice fans give him on the street and why they can’t believe he isn’t really Northern.
