I have to say that when Sean first arrived down Weatherfield way I thought his character was pretty OTT. However through some fantastic scriptwriting and great acting and timing from the chaaracter he has IMHO become one of the great actors on the show. His one liners and witty quips are fantastic.
That said, the source for BB's story is The Sunday Mirror, sister tabloid to the Daily Mirror which earlier this week gave us the exclusive on the new manager of T'Rovers being Zoe Lucker of Footballers Wives infamy. So maybe a pinch of salt is required
