Those of you who watch the show will know that the new Carter family has a gay character, Johnny.
Tina, Johnny's mother, hears an accusation that her son is gay, disapproves and finds it 'disgusting'. Watch from 10:30 to see the point where Johnny reveals to his father Mick, played by Danny Dyer, that he is gay..
Do you think they handled Johnny's 'coming out' story well? Thoughts on how his mum and dad handled it?
Danny Dyer has received homophobic tweets for the storyline and this is what he had to say..
I saw this and I was glad they portrayed the father as accepting and encouraging. Most of the time the father is portrayed to be angry about it so it was nice that they're showing people that it's not always terrible.
that father son scene is beautiful I wish i was like that with my dad I can't even tell him when im getting a hair cut cause he screams at me I legit cried

It was very touching to watch.
I thought it was great of the writers to switch the roles as normally it is the mum who approves.
I got Tina and Nancy mixed up in op; edited . For those outside the UK etc, you can get the gist from the video.
The acting from both of them was superb (I was blown away by Danny Dyer because I generally hate him and everything he's done as an actor) and the way the scene was written was really relatable and realistic imo. They did a great job.
