Harry Visinoni interview on Seb's HIV diagnosis

Last night on Coronation Street, Seb Franklin was given the news that he is HIV positive.  Harry Visinoni, who plays Seb, has given an interview to Digital Spy about playing Seb and the HIV storyline.  It's a good read.

In a nutshell, Harry says that producer Kate Oates told him about the storyline in advance and asked if he'd be OK with it.  He says: "Corrie trusting me with this was a great surprise and I was very grateful. It motivated me to hopefully do it well." and "It's the biggest thing I've done in my career by a mile, really."

And he also says that after so many scenes with Phelan, he would love to be involved in Phelan's comeuppance.

"Oh, that'd be the cherry on top to be involved in that storyline. Phelan's comeuppance is bound to be very dramatic. If I had a little role in that, that would definitely be one for the showreel, wouldn't it?"
