Corrie boss defends Webster, Dobbs plot

The executive producer of Coronation Street has defended the show's affair storyline.

Kieran Roberts claimed that the relationship between Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns) and Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) is a plausible plot.

Answering viewers' questions in the Radio Times, he denied allegations that the affair was out of character for Dobbs.

"In Molly's eyes Tyrone is a lovely lad, but also immature, even boring," he said. "In Kevin, Molly sees a more mature man who can bring romance into a life that's become dull.

"I don't imagine many viewers will sympathise, but I think Molly's behaviour is understandable and consistent."

Binns has previously revealed that she was booed on a charity run because of Dobbs's behaviour.
