Quote from post by Dazzle** was watching a recording so when Michelle was about to spill Steve's secrets to the whole pub I fast forwarded the scene as I couldn't bear to watch. I think it's unforgivable to tell someone's medical problems without their permission, especially to a room full of onlookers.
If she wanted to defend him why not tell the truth - that the accident was caused by the joyriders?[/QUOTE]**
REPLY
Although I dont like the character -I did give
her the benefit of the doubt- hoping she intended
to help Steve.
But sometimes giving info abt illness or other
private matters to a lot of people loudly can
just make matters worse rather than help.
Some people will understand and it may
8improve their behaviour.
Others who have closed minds or a prejudice
on the subject will just have their opinions
re-inforced and be given more ammo.
We know there were such people present in
the pub.
I suppose if you want to help someone you
have to do it in a way that is acceptable to
them.!
I can only say I wouldnt want my details
blurted out in a crowded pub-if I was in
Steves position.
re " joyriders". They probably werent mentioned
as it would stop one strand of story in its tracks
and reduce the drama!
