OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Visinoni “cringed” when he read about Seb Franklin’s awkward misunderstanding with Sarah Platt.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star’s character will get a little carried away when – after assuming that Tina O’Brien’s alter ego is flirting with him – he mistakenly thinks a note inviting someone to join her in the bath is meant for him.
He told Metro.co.uk: “I think there could potentially be some regret there! It’s not a situation you’d want to find yourself in. Obviously it’s Gary’s girlfriend and he is with Faye – a lot could kick off from this.
“It’s very cringey isn’t it – I thought ‘Oh God!’ But there are some good scenes so that was exciting to do. But I was a bit cringed out reading it, I guess.”
The awkward moment comes after Sarah battles for him to get his job back, and promises a surprise for his 18th birthday – and it means Seb jumps to conclusions.
Harry added: “It’s a bit of a fantasy really. It’s a big distraction for him and it’s like an 18-year-old’s dream, isn’t it?
“He comes in and sees this note – he really is just adding up the numbers. In his mind, there is no reason to believe this note isn’t for him. He’s like ‘okay then, this is happening?’ ”
Not surprisingly, the incident leads to a scrap with Gary, which leaves Seb without a job – and the soap star suggested his character’s temper could keep being his downfall.
He said: “This is part of his character and I am sure it will crop up again. It’s just how he is – he goes off the handle a little bit again. He gets stressed out and has had a rough upbringing – he has had abusive stepdads and his mum was a heroin addict.”
