Fans angry as Chrissie tells Rebecca that Robert is gay
Chrissie (Louise Marwood) was having a blazing row with her sister Rebecca White (Emily Head) when she made the offensive comment.
Rebecca revealed in last night's episode that she had slept with Robert (Ryan Hawley) while he was engaged to Chrissie.

As Rebecca told Chrissie she was not surprised Robert had strayed, Chrissie responded with a comment that offended many fans of the character.
