Harry Visinoni interview on Seb's HIV diagnosis
Tonight on Coronation Street, Seb Franklin is 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?"

I think Harry is a great actor.
This kid has acting chops...let's just see what the writers can do with him. Corrie already been commended for tackling the storyline, but let's just see how well they do.
As a new cast member, Harry is one of the new ones that I've found interesting...There are so many sides to a young persons personality when raised or dragged up in a drug infested, alcohol riddled home.
Let's keep this young fella around for some time, it'll be nice to get to know him and the twins
