Marty Kirkby
- ... that a same-sex kiss, broadcast in January 2020, between Casualty characters Marty Kirkby and Jack Ward received 111 complaints? Source: "The BBC complaints statistic confirmed that around 111 people found the kiss to be 'offensive' and how it shouldn't be shown on screen."
ALT1:... that the Casualty character Marty Kirkby was established as the cousin of Kian Madani, a character in spin-off show Holby City? Source: Offline source (see inline reference #32)- ALT2:... that a Casualty episode deemed important to the character development of Marty Kirkby was pulled from air due to parallels to the current COVID-19 pandemic? Source: "An unprecedented situation saw an entire episode of the BBC medical drama skipped – not aired at all, due to parallels with the coronavirus pandemic. (...) The fact we'll never get to see this story play out on screen is particularly unfortunate, as it was integral to Marty's character development."

@Soaper1234: Metro and PinkNews should not be used as sources, per WP:RSP. Are there any non-tabloid sources that have reported this statistic? Also, 48.5% for copyvio is too high. Other than that, article is new, long enough, no bare URLs, QPQ completed... I find ALT0 as the best hook, but ALT2 suffices. Let me know once work on the article is complete!

Nice4What, the "X" icon means there's no point in continuing the review since the article is completely ineligible; it seems clear from your final comment that is not the case here. I've used a better icon for this situation. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:03, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Nice4What: Thank you for the review. I've removed the PinkNews source, but I'm not going to remove the Metro ones as they tend to be a reliable source for soap news, interviews etc. The statistic has also been supported by other news outlets. In regards to the copyvio, that is down to the quote in the Characterisation section, which eliminates that issue (I believe). Happy to go with ALT0 when you're happy with the article.
