Really think that Geoff is overacting with the way he 'twists' his mouth all the time, especially when arguing.

But he's the number 1 soap actor I'll have you know

I've just had a good idea for a novel storyline that I don't think has ever been done before. Alya breaks into Geoff's house looking for evidence but Geoff catches her and throws her out.

all grieving no hugging, could use real partners

I was thinking that too ... very good acting from all though, especially Jane Danson

Some good scenes in The Rovers

So what is Daisy and her Luke up to ? Trying a scam? Have we not had enough of those kind of storylines ?

Some heartbreaking scenes last night. One of the things I've enjoyed about this sad storyline is how it's affected several families on the Street and has enabled Oliver's various relatives to interact with characters they don't usually share scenes with, such as Steve and Sarah recently, and now Toyah and Gail. In fact Gail was one of the strongest characters for me in her few scenes, desperately wondering what on earth she can say to Nick, which proves yet again that she isn't just a simpering idiot.
The final scene, with Leanne crying in Oliver's bedroom with all his toys around her, was the saddest of all. Something about the dinosaur pillowcase just set me off, for some reason...

I think the need for CPR really has finally brought it home for Leanne, especially when she was told this wouldn't be a one off case and there would probably be an increased chance for failure to recussitate. The human body can only take so much of this. As I've mentioned before I've got epilepsy that is well under control, but I recall being told that each seizure can put a strain on the heart. Oliver has been having seizures, albeit not epileptic ones, but probably of similiar or worse severity, even more so considering his age and doctors have to be more careful when its a child so young with procedures like CPR.

I saw a doctor talking about resuscitation on TV, saying it is not as is shown in hospital dramas often is is so vigorous that patients suffers broken ribs. I would not imagine a three year old could withstand much of this sort of trauma. This story reminds us of how great Corrie can be.
