I'm utterly gobsmacked!! I've watched the Bill for years, but stopped when the ridiculous Don Beech storyline was going on. Recently however I've been gripped by quite a few of the storylines, and found that the show has returned to its former glory.
I'd heard about the kiss before it happened, so I wasn't altogether surprised. The scene itself was handled sensitively and tastefully, unlike some of the revolting scenes between Tom Chandler and Debbie McAllister which made me squirm. I suppose it's the difference between watching two likeable characters (ie Luke Ashton and Craig Gilmore) kissing, and two extremely unpleasant people giving each other a good mauling!
It was a very emotional scene, following weeks of smouldering from both men, and was totally ruined for me by the fact that the action immediately switched to a scene from next week, showing a major punch-up between 2 other officers! Talk about ruining a beautiful moment!!!! I wonder how many complaints there were about the violent scene which followed the kiss? Not many I'll bet .... what a screwed up world we live in.
Anyone who wishes to give their support and counterbalance some of the hysterical homophobia can email
