I was only a baby when this aired, but was shocked when I looked up what the headlines said at the time!
Well done to EastEnders for not being afraid of the bigots! :-)

EastEnders have to be commended for their portrayal of Colin and Barry's relationship in the 1980s. Dot's reaction was quite realistic of the time. If anyone has looked back on the headlines when this storyline was aired, homophobia was rife. Two men having a kiss on television was unheard of, and particularly the right wing gutter press had a field day. EastEnders helped change people's attitudes. Dot went on to become very close to Barry.

You can't get AIDS from saliva you dozy cow. It's always the AIDS thing isn't it. Barry's so cute though, and completely calm about it, I would have flipped.
