    I would imagine that most people do hold the same opinion as you, and in fact I would probably rather know for sure if I was in that position, but ultimately everyone is different and also going...

    I don't remember getting the feeling that Steve hadn't considered Amy when talking Liz, I would have to watch it back to be certain on that though, and I'm not the best at reading situations anyway...

    If the test turns out to be positive you will still worry about whether symptoms are the start to that condition, some people prefer not to know and feel that they can get on with their lives fine...

    Just because someone doesn't appear to have thought about consequences to someone else doesn't mean they haven't. Unfortunately just because Michelle and Leanne are both pregnant it does not change...

    If you rush the decision you can make things worse. What if you find out you have the condition and haven't even properly dealt with just the thought of having it? How is that going to be helpful to...

    We don't know that he wouldn't have told Tracy himself or that he hadn't thought of Amy at all, and even though I do agree that he probably only said no in that instant because Leanne and Nick were...
