    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.

      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.

    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

    Offensive to trans people but also offensive to the character of Mike Baldwin, who over many years was a firm but fair boss who gave employees like Vera Duckworth countless chances. He was a ladies man, but not a chauvinist and I don't think his character would have worried about Hayley being trans. He was a money man and Hayley was a good worker: he wouldn't have given a tuppence worth of worry about what the rest of his employees thought. It was the same when they made Vera say homophobic things about Todd. It didn't ring true to those characters.

He's seen off many a potential rebellion from his workforce and he wouldn't have given a damn if they were a bit uncomfortable with Hayley. He knew they wouldn't want to give up their jobs. He was always a cheeky Londoner and would have found Hayley a surprise but not to a point where he is actively hateful. That wasn't his style ever.

      ​@@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.

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.
