This was 1998, and this discrimination would still not have been illegal then until 1999 when law was changed. Mike was "ok" until he asked her who to make the cheque out to, that was just uncalled for and nasty, but he took her back on later and she was a trusted and valued member of the factory. I think the girls went out on strike in support of Hayley too, but it was 25 years ago so I don't remember it fully.
Yeah was disappointed with that part. Don't remember this as I'd only have been 7 at the time but I'm very glad things are a lot better now - even if twitter / the UA-cam comments bit would make you think loads of people had a big issue with trans people. In my experience most of my mates aren't arsed at all and just accept them for who they are.
@dominicaaaaa5547 well if they hadn't shown the shit that trans people do get, especially then, then they wouldn't be being true to life, mind, its Corrie, so hardly true to life.
Remember when Corrie full-on had a trans character and nobody complained bc there wasn’t a vile anti-trans culture war being funded by the government and the press?
The difference is that we have genuine trans people wanting to live their lives without harming anyone (they don't want to use women spaces or go after children). Then you have the vocal AGPs who follow gender ideology. They want to take away women's rights and don't care about hurting children. The second type is causing the backlash. Hayley was genuine and so no one cared. Same way Blaire White, Buck Angel etc are genuine. Then you have AGPs like Dylan M being misogynistic. And unfortunately men like him are having a negative effect on the genuine trans people.
Most people only have a problem with so-called trans kids. If, say, Chesney had said he felt like a girl and Les subsequently had him castrated, people would have had a problem with it.
The government wants us squabbling amongst ourselves, pointing the finger at each other rather than them. It's working beautifully from what I can see 😞
Luckily, this wasn't an end to the story. Mike would later take Hayley back on, and everyone in the street would accept her for who she is. The entire storyline played a big part in giving people in the UK a much greater understanding of trans people.
People complaining about how this would not be tolerated today: uh yes, that's a good thing? The script even sums it up quite well: Hayley being transgender does not affect her performance as a worker. Thus, it's unfair dismissal and she would absolutely have a case against Mike in court. Also, having this view that minority groups don't deserve common decency is so hilariously reductive because what makes you think it would stop there? You can bet that corporations and businesses wouldn't spare anyone of any race, sexuality or gender if they feel they could save a bit of money sacking them for no good reason. But sure, carry on thinking that this sort of thing could never touch you if it were allowed. lol
Even back then you still couldn’t do it without reason happened to me back when this was aired and I took the boss to tribunal for unfair dismissal and I won got settled out of court 😢

@@ashcrossGood points. The sad reality though for actors particularly ones in these kinds of soaps is they are required to be either "antagonist" or "protagonist" at the drop of the whim for storyline purposes. Lots of the cast may become famous in their own rights but very few of them have such talent that they can get to levels where they can reject work opportunities. Working on a soap is like a regular 9-to-5 job, eventually cast members have to jump because often times any cohesive plans to build up a show based on ingenuity (such as Mike's character) goes out the window if somebody has come up with a juicy storyline idea that could lead to some kind of commercial boom. Mike Baldwin always slotted into the antagonist role more than the protagonist, so that was decided to be his current character at this part of the show, to play the bad guy. If they had a story cooked up where they suddenly had a good reason to make Curly Watts a seriously bad guy they'd disregard the character in search of that potential hit storyline. These soap actors are seen as interchangeable and if they want to keep their jobs long term they have to play a role where their character suddenly acts like a different person and just accept it even if they feel stupid for going along with it.

Poor Hayley. Though I think that Mike, while being a great Corrie character/legend, at the same time always did have a bit of a ruthless streak about him, guess that's partly how he got on in the business world.
And it's that business streak that led him to re-hire her. Any capitalist with half a brain knows to hire whoever is the best at the job, regardless of nationality, sexuality, gender, etc.

@@lawrenceblunden428 thank you it really is disgusting how no one takes a stand on this type of stuff, I remember a channel called Jim McDonald Fan took a stand against this hate when they uploaded old corrie clips of Hayley and I really respected him for it. Really hurts to see that even though people are saying “this wouldn’t happen in 2024” it really is still happening and the comments prove it.
@keeperofthe7keys1987 I'm not your common "woke" type and even I can't stand hate. Seen it too often in real life in the last year or so to be OK with it. Someone recently called me a "faggot" and thought it was OK lol (in real life). Homophobia still exists.
it's a transgender woman being sacked for no reason other than that she's trans and that her colleagues are bullying her. Nothing to do with being woke its common decency to be kind and understanding to your colleagues at work. You anti trans types on the net do my head in - thing is most of you would probably be perfectly friendly it you met a transgender person off the internet?
Yeah she was great in broadchurch she's been doing stuff for the people who were wrongly accused at the post office recently too and noticed on her twitter that she did charitable work with homeless people so is probably a good egg off screen which is nice.
I've always thought Hayley was extremely feminine and motherly. Something no trans identified male I've ever seen has ever been. It's so clear the actress is a woman that it seems to almost mock TIM's
What seeing a transgender woman bullied sacked and crying? The fuck is wrong with you man celebrating someone going through a horrible time. Just watched a video of Hayley dying and her husband in years would you say good times at that because a trans woman is dead? I get it's all a soap just yano. These comments are abysmal.
Clicking your channel for one second and seeing Paul Joseph Watson is your most recent favourited vid I'm not surprised you are cheering on a sad and bullied transgender woman ..I know it's only a TV show but still. So many bad attitudes towards transgender people online.
Must be going back a bit because today Mike would be in deep hot water and a tribunal case would throw the book at him with enormous fines and compensation for Hayley
I’m confused though, isn’t she married to Roy? And gay marriage wasn’t invented until 2012 by David Cameron. Or were you able to marry transgenders back then or something.
From what I remember they had a ceremony, like a commitment ceremony or something. I remember it wasn’t a marriage because they had trouble finding a vicar. Once she got her new birth certificate I think they married then. That’s what I remember from memory but I could be wrong!
At least J K Rowling wasnt popular enough at the time to think people needed to hear her opinion. Or maybe it would have saved some from trusting her is she had?
DISCRIMINATION HAROLD I MEAN HAYLEY COULD OF SUED BALDWIN FOR UNFAIR DISSMISAL AND FOR THE COMMENT HE MADE WOULD HE LIKE IT IF SHE CALLED HIM A SOFT SHANDY DRINKING SOUTHERNER?
Mike was a great boss and he did the right thing here. Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost sympathy and respect for anyone in the LGBT community, but having them in the workplace is always trouble waiting to happen.
That’s the most ridiculous comment I’ve ever read, u have respect for the LGTB community but you don’t think they should have the same work rights as everyone else? Also what trouble is waiting to happen with them in the workplace?
Keep coming back here because of replies to comments but yes John what do you expect all LGBT people to be on the dole and not bother applying for jobs because of their gender or sexuality? It should make NO difference as long as people put in the effort at work and are polite to their colleagues them man woman trans or alien what does it matter? If people have a problem with it they are the ones who need a talking to from the boss.
A simpler time thankfully transgender people are more accepted nowadays though (you wouldn't think it from twitter and UA-cam but I guess it's mostly hidden troll accounts who like to pick on minorities)
He should have docked his/her/thems pay for lying. He/she/it wouldn’t be allowed to get away with this sort of appalling behaviour today. Corrie ahead of its time yet again. Balders for prez.
How disgusting calling another human being an it! All for defending her right to work and be respected, and yes I know this is only a show from back in the day , but people like you still sadly exist!

I agree! This is shocking I know it’s not real but poor Hayley it makes me want to cry she was the only woman on that street that was more then decent, was never gossiping never rude to anyone bless her! Always will be my favourite corrie character

Keep coming back here because of replies to comments but yes John what do you expect all LGBT people to be on the dole and not bother applying for jobs because of their gender or sexuality? It should make NO difference as long as people put in the effort at work and are polite to their colleagues them man woman trans or alien what does it matter? If people have a problem with it they are the ones who need a talking to from the boss.
What a stupid comment at the top of this thread.
Relax and stop whining. I assume you're both in the LGBT community which kinda proves my point.
Firm boundaries, I admire that
The good old days
A simpler time thankfully transgender people are more accepted nowadays though (you wouldn't think it from twitter and UA-cam but I guess it's mostly hidden troll accounts who like to pick on minorities)
Mike is a deadnamer.
Hahaha good times 😂
The Hayley cross dresser character, weirdo Roy Cropper and the Battersbys destroyed Coronation Street.
He should have docked his/her/thems pay for lying. He/she/it wouldn’t be allowed to get away with this sort of appalling behaviour today. Corrie ahead of its time yet again. Balders for prez.
How disgusting calling another human being an it! All for defending her right to work and be respected, and yes I know this is only a show from back in the day , but people like you still sadly exist!
well i wouldnt want him using the ladies either/////
Her you bigot.
LOL
I always forget Roy cropper is gay.
Roy reach around cropper lol
Why don't ya both go make ignorant comments on the Hayley scene where she dies? Arseholes I swear you people who just come on these videos to bash transgender women.
Hayley and Roy were like Christian missionaries, and hayley even went to Africa.
Er, I'm guessing that didn't go down too well.
Always liked that Mike fella
I like him even more after seeing this.
I’d love to be a solicitor dealing with it. I actually did that subject in my dissertation.
How's the debt?
Disgusting and appalling discrimination against a post op Transgender woman 👩 & I would stick up to defend & give my full protection to the Transgender woman with my life if needs be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree! This is shocking I know it’s not real but poor Hayley it makes me want to cry she was the only woman on that street that was more then decent, was never gossiping never rude to anyone bless her! Always will be my favourite corrie character
It's common sense it still happens all over the world 😆 🤣 😂
I know I used tae be an advocate fur the LGBT centre and the abuse these people had tae face was unreal
@@ssd3622 I know you're a troll who wants this response but you've annoyed me you nob lol. Does my head in this anti transgender shit on the internet.
Trans women are not women.
Simpler times haha
