I'd rather Ken didn't return.

I'm looking forward to the return of Ken and Kevin on the street.

I'm not.

He will be able to take Eccles for a walk and help Deirdre eat her stuffed marrow.

On a serious note, the cps in the news said there is certain criteria that a case has to pass before it can go to court. The CPS said they respected the jury's verdict, however they also said it was right for the case to come to court. Whether it was, who is to say. It is a tricky one. Although I do not like the women I did find myself agreeing with Christine Hamilton, a friend of Bill Roache. she said the only winners are the lawyers.

However I hope it doesn't stop victims coming forward to report these dreadful crimes.

Me either. I haven't particularly felt the loss of them during their absence.

That's always a danger and I heard the actress Sherry Hewson talking on a morning show about how upset she's been as she's a friend and supporter of Roache and that it all has to stop.
"this climate we live in is so dreadful."

i took it to mean that accusatons of sexual abuse should not be as widely reported. That's the last thing that should occur. One of the reasons abusers have gotten away with it for so long was that they felt intimidated to come forward especially if the abuser had been a high profile or powerful person.

With the Saville revelations the atmosphere changed which is good though of course anything can be used the wrong way.
