Coronation Street spoilers hint that James may find himself in some trouble as he is stopped by a “fan who will throw homophobic slurs at James. James has been outed as being gay by accident, which could cause him to be a target for homophobic behavior/ people. This will be true for the upcoming episodes of Coronation Street.
Coronation Street Spoilers – James Bailey’ Sexuality Is Questioned
Earlier this year, James’ sexuality was exposed due to a mistake that Danny Tomlinson (Dylan Brady) made by making a comment online. This caused him to have a meeting with his manager at County and the club’s press officer. He would go on to deny his sexuality to the public and would go on to insisting that he was straight. This led him to be advised to say nothing, which could let the attention that has been placed on him pass.
Coronation Street Spoilers – James Bailey Is Attacked
James Bailey, Coronation Street footballer, will be facing homophobia by a “fan” of his team in a nasty incident. It seems that there will be trouble ahead for the football player as he bumps into a homophobic Weatherfield County supporter who targets him and attacks him with homophobic slurs. This happens when James and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) are having a chat in the street and are approached by the so-called fan who will go on a tirade. Upon hearing the homophobic insults, James will become angry about it, and the situation will begin to turn violent. This causes Tim to step in to calm things down.
In an interview with Digital Spy earlier this year, “I don’t know what’s to come myself, but I would imagine it’s going to be a long journey. James has got to tell his team-mates eventually, and then he might come out publicly. That would be another hurdle for him to face.
Plus, would there be another love interest if James was out as a professional footballer? That’s just me thinking of what could happen. I don’t know myself yet, as I don’t have those scripts, and I don’t go upstairs asking what’s to come. I just wait for the scripts to land in my pigeon hole at work. But I think if we’re exploring the issue, there’ll be a lot to come.” Be sure to tune in to catch up on everything happening with Corrie right now.
