Coronation St - Simon

[hc4361]

Simon running in to the bistro in distress was quite honestly one of the most shocking scenes I have ever seen on the programme.

Extremely well done all round.

[mallyh]

i must agree with you very disturbing ,but well acted

[Jomlett]

He looked like Grayson Perry!

[andres]

IT was horrific !! Totally unexpected . I think we are in for some uncomfortable viewing over the next few weeks with the 'bullying'scenes.

[hc4361]

Apologies - this should be in Media & TV. I was so shocked I mis-posted

[Robinia]

I wasn't expecting that either, well acted.

I know you've said that you've mis-posted this, but now I'm curious...what happened?

[Zeuhl]

And the most wicked character is yet again a Black Female

There must be some mistake

according to aog that never happens

[sp1814]

Arrrgghhh!

What happened?

[viv38]

Simon is being bullied by two young girls Grace and Faye and they dressed him up as a girl and plastered make up all over his face and he ran away and went to the Bistro where his Mum works and ran into her arms crying - very moving.

[murraymints]

Faye and her new best friend were charged with walking deirdre' s dog and to look after Amy..by Tracy...when they were in her house they decided to play dress up games and raided Tracy's wardrobe and make up...wee Simon tried to leave but he was held down forced into a dress and his face smeared with red lippie....

Thanks viv38

I'm assuming that Simon is child?

[viv38]

He's about 10 and Faye and Grace are 11/12 ish.

[murraymints]

He's a wee boy of about 10....Barlow kid..

I think Alex Bain, who plays Simon, is a great actor. I hope the storyline is dealt with sensitively as there are far too many incidents of bullying in the news now, especially in social networks.

[viv38]

I agree boingo, he's a great little actor. I've always liked him.
