If they wanted to do a story about bereavement they could have focused on Izzy when her sister Katy died. They seemed to be close, ever since they were kids, and it would have given Izzy something decent to do. Apart from that scene where she told Fizz and Beth we haven't really seen her grieving - Katy's death seems to have been a plot device to bring Joseph back.

And so far, I do not know why .. other than that Daniel managed to get him to speak ..but no other storyline since

I think they were trying to bring out new aspects of Chesney's character by making him a young single dad but that hasn't really happened yet either.

Oh gawd spot on, welcome to a world of waiting months and months Craig to even see a specialist who can then put you on the waiting list some time ish maybe within a year if your lucky.

However well done Corrie, I have OCD and fell out with someone recently who insisted, "oh no, you dont have OCD as you dont obsessively clean."

I tried to explain OCD is all about being trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts, compulsions obsessions, but they wouldnt have it. But the obsessively clean usualy is some one washing their hands till they are raw, because they cant convince themselves they dont have germs on them that will kill people, that germ issue can that roll out to every surface , its bad thoughts then can cripple a person. The fact c4 channelled that to make a cheap TV show showed alot about them as a company than highlighting the issue which they were using for entertainment.

Yes, and OCD also includes someone having to have everything straight, lined up and in order and in colours , not higgledy piggledy . Cups in a cupboard have to be in order of size and colour, for example. A character in Doc Martin had that particular aspect of OCD . There are many facets to it not just washing one's hands.

He must have worked as sales assistant in South Africa too, cannot wait to find out why he has lied about this all the time...

He has an inferiority complex then

I think Jude told Mary that he had lied to Angie when they first met to try and impress her, then as the relationship developed he couldn't lose face by telling Angie the truth. How Jude got away with it for so long in S.A. amazes me.

He cannot be more than 25 .. will be stuck in a fish suit for a few more years yet before he collects a pension .. if they are still around then ..
