Coronation Street's Alan Halsall and Natalie Gumede aren't feeling any pressure despite their characters being locked in a 'taboo' domestic abuse plot. Kirsty and Tyrone are set marry on Monday even though she's been abusing him for months. He's going through with the sham wedding to get parental rights over their baby, Ruby. But if the actors are under pressure to convince in their portrayal of female-on-male abuse, they're not showing it. Alan told Whatsontv.co.uk: "It's definitely a taboo subject. We found it hard just to get some stories about the situation because nobody would talk about the situation... It's not that we're feeling pressure because we're telling Tyrone and Kirsty's story, not trying to copy a real-life story, so there's no pressure in terms of that. "Coronation Street touches on these issues very well anyway, so there's a pressure on the show if you like. I don't think I feel it so much - we're just telling the story we've been given and we're thrilled to do that." Natalie added: "We didn't write this, we're interpreting somebody else's words, so all we can do is try to find Kirsty and Tyrone's truth out of that, so it's not so much for us to worry about as much as we have to try to do it justice."
