Claire and her post-natal depression

[ericca]

Corrie's Claire loses the plot


Coronation Street's new mum Claire Peacock is to be sent to a psychiatric unit after her post-natal depression gets the better of her.


Viewers will see another side to the normally mild mannered Claire as she attacks her best pal Hayley and begins to neglect her three-year-old stepson Josh.


However, things take a more dramatic turn when Claire runs off with newborn baby Thomas, leaving beleaguered husband Ashley with no choice but to pack her off to a psychiatric unit.


An insider told the Daily Star: "Fans will see a very scary and traumatic side to Claire."

wow!

never saw that coming,this should be an interesting storyline for her. I could see Tracy in a psyc ward long before Claire would be~!

[CrazyLea]

awww, can't you ever have a normal happy family..... then againt this is soapland, Poor Ashley and Claire.. after what they been through with Josh and all as well.

[lollymay]

it is good though that they are highlighting an issue - maybe going a bit far though!

I hope they handle this properly as carting her off too quickly could prevent people who suffer from this not wanting to get help for fear of the same thing happening to them.

Couldn't agree more... There is a lot of women who suffer from this and it needs to be handled with care.

I knew something like this was going to happen cos of the way everything was going right and they were both really happy. You know when you can just tell..

Calm down guys, it's the Daily Star. Hardly whiter than white when it comes to news stories.

A really good storyline for Corrie to highlight and it will give away a new side to Claire's character too which is also good. I am confident that Corrie will handle this issue really well.

Yeah a great storyline for Julia to get involved with, hope she does really well with this as i think it will be quite difficult area to cover, but corrie have never let us down in the past.
