The Harris family took dysfunctional to a whole new level on "Corrie". Whilst it made for good watching (at the time), the way the plot played out and ended was more than a little disturbing. Not surprising why Sean Wilson who played Martin Platt strongly objected to the role his character played in this storyline. He wasn't happy at all and the producers took advantage of this by writing him out of the show after twenty years Daughter murders her father, subsequently commits suicide and mother lands in jail. Looking back this whole storyline feels creepy and sickening.
Definitely, not many storylines have come close to theirs, the father and daughter dead and the mother in prison all within a month or so, they give the whites and the kings in emmerdale a run for their money in terms of being dysfunctional
What makes it even more disturbing is how they arrived on the street under witness protection and were soon tracked down by the criminals who Angela was testifying against. This family literally had a terrifying start and a horrifying conclusion on the show.
@@ohwell94 I can see the argument from both sides. Katy insisted she was a grown up even though she always behaved stroppy and immature and Tommy was only interested in controlling her entire life and if course that is finally exposed in these scenes not to mention the sick jokes he was always making about Martin having sex with Sarah and Rosie just goes to show what a truly sick twisted sicko he really was.
I cant believe what they turned tommy into. things were never Easy but Tommy was no bully until near the end. when they first arrived things were never easy with witness protection and stuff when all that shit was over they were finally able to live their life as normal by the harries name. The relationship between Katie and martin changed the harris Family for ever. the really change Tommy he went from a normal guy to such monster its like he had a massive personality transplant he got so obsessed with splitting them up he didn't care who he hurt in the process. Calling Angela a fat bitch his own wife he disown Katie at one stage for being with Martin then he disowned Angell for not disowning kaite and he eaven ended with Angela over it.
katy, lucy jo, is married to tyrone, alan in real life and on mr and mrs they both agreed he was the better actor. he is good, but I think this storyline shows she is better than him. not just these scenes but the whole storyline was well acted by her.
It's not gross. I'm 28 and my boyfriend is 49. Age doesn't matter as long as you are both adults and you love each other. My parents also have a big age gap ( 16 years ) .
I think it depends heavily on how old you are when you start the relationship. If you're 20 and your other half is 41 when you start dating then people wont judge but if you're 15 and 36 then it's a big issue.
I don't think Katy should have killed in Tommy in the storyline, it would sounded better if he had a heart attack or something and maybe Katy blamed herself for his death, though after a while her mum convinces her it was her fault. So they decide to have fresh start by moving away and that was the end of the Harris.
@Sextimus23 and bring craig harris back he should reteam with rosie webster she never was the same after he left i remember the first time they were together that was so good you know the first time and all- i thought the harris family were at least developed the mortons were kind of thrown away bring craig and angela back closing the harris story or linking them as a distant cousin perbhaps to trhe mortons
Do you know anything about the Harris family or Katy or this storyline at all? Personal opinion but Katy was a manipulating spoiled spiteful me me it's all about me and what I want little bitchy and the entire storyline was just creepy realy
The worst thing was they never recovered. she came back to demand that he be the one who should separated from the family instead of her they only got back to getter because it had their kids. The way he went it hadn't been for witness protection we would have been split up years ago. Angela was so cruel about it. Craig would have forgiven Katie in time. what Angela did was so cold. If Katie hadn't killed Tommy he would have Thrown out by Angela and Katie they both loathed him after what he did. Its interesting the way soap characters can under go complete personality trance plants. 1 minet their a normal caring man or woman no different to u or me or any else over a few episodes that person can turn really bad eavn evil.
Tommy really had it coming to him in all fairness but on the other hand who could blame him in being really wound up by his daughter going out with somebody twice her age I wouldn’t accept that in a million years if Katy were my daughter but as for the baby being aborted there was really no need whether you’ve been cheated on or not the baby was totally innocent in all of it
This whole storyline, Tommy did right, what man wants to see their teenage daughter date a man that’s about 20 years older than her. He was right about Martin, he was a pervert, liked Martin though, he was a great character, but this storyline was horrible. I know it’s not real, but Martin should have walked away and been the better man.
Yes absolutely spot on who can blame him for wanting to split his daughter and her fella up when there’s such an age difference cus I’d be exactly the same and never in a million years would I accept it but the baby shouldn’t have been aborted tho
I met Thomas Craig yesterday who played Tommy Harris he's soo lovely! 😃
EE Scenes Cool :)
I hadn't yet gotten into Corrie back then, but he now plays Constable Brackenreid on Murdoch Mysteries (a Canadian show)
TurquoiseStar17 yeah that's right! he came back to Sheffield from Canada last year in December 😊
He's a Sheffield Wednesday fan and I once saw him going to a game at Huddersfield circa 2011.
This was one of the first episodes I saw of Coronation Street and it just blew me away. Amazing scenes.
I saw the guy who played Tommy once on the train...i kepted looking at him...i think he was well chuffed i reconised him x
Once saw him at a football match, seemed reet enough
Loved this. Loved the katy/martin tommy-/ angela saga. Really loved this scene! Can see the change and the hate in katy’s eyes at the end.

10 years ago yesterday....wow!
Thanks. I've always wanted to see this. The writing is strong -- the acting...not so much.
I'm surprised Craig was so normal.
I saw him once on the train I think he was pleased I recognised him x
"Stick a cake in it, you fat bitch?!" Can't even imagine hearing that on DOOL or Y&R. XD
Lesson learned: Never give a pissed off woman a wrench and then turn your back, especially when you're the one who pissed her off.
Bloody hell Brackenreid
Tommy was just a vile bully and his arrogance pushed someone that step too far
They need to bring Angela back! I mean they are managing to bring Tracy back so and she killed a man, Angela was only an accessory to murder.
tommy's huge over here in Canada on Murdoch Mysteries
Tommy Harris puts nobody but himself first
No that's Katy
Tommy for his bad tempered bullying ways was all about his family and katy wanted what she wanted when she wanted it

@gregapugh124 The scene with Katy/Angela and the last moments have some good spots. And some of the fight with Tommy/Angela.

TheRobo1997 2005
5 years old!! mad how time flies
that's what happends when you ease drop on people. You don't get the whole story.
Your sentence is what happens when somebody isn't educated correctly.
Think Tommy might regret his last ever words to his wife of 20 years!

Oh, right...... No one in the US says, "stick a cake in it." :) OK, nuff said.
