If you think Frankies and Jamies love affair in Corrie is messed up love wrapped in drama then you didnt see the Panel on Monday 20th November 2006 (the one where Colin Murphy was the host)

Monsieur Murphy told the touching story of Silo and Roy, the gay penguin couple who were very much in love. Born and raised in a city zoo in the US of A, they attempted to hatch a rock last year (obviously failing miserably!). BuT the good people of the zoo found them an orphan egg and Silo and Roy became the proud gay parents of Tango, the little ball of fluffy penguin goodness. Being the heartwarming story that it was, a book was written about them.

However the book recieved major critism from the folks that discriminate against gay parenthood. A decision was reached to introduce some Swedish penguins into the equation as they became a recent addition to the zoo. The aim was to tempt the penguins into being straight, because everyone knows... Swedish penguin, dirty penguin! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET THEM BE HAPPY!

It was a black day last week when it was announced that Silo and Roy had broken up. Silo had left Roy to be with a lady penguin by the name of Scappy (fitting is it not!) Poor Roy, quite literally the only Gay penguin in the village.
