Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Katy]

Sarah is driving me mad!

Poor Faye, Annas face at the end of that episode! Loved the discussions of Rosie at Oakhill between Anna Owen Tim and Sally! Jonathan Harvey certainly writes well in these episodes and he is particularly good at writing for Sally.

Looked like the start of a Carla and Nick friendship in tonights episode. He was horrible the guy she was meeting.

sally wasn't funny but annoying for me tonight, callum has best chemistry with david only and he seems camp to me does jason want sarah back he acted jealous, does sarah not know david owns the house not gail

Sally is really not that thick that she doesn't realise how she comes across. Nobody says a word to her while she is going on and on and on. Not at all funny , just made me squirm.

The Faye pregnancy storyline has exceeded my expectations so far (not hard to do, admittedly!). I've enjoyed the Faye/Craig scenes, the labour scenes were quite good and we haven't even had any screeching from Anna - yet!

I wonder if Faye will keep the baby? She's certainly showing no interest at the moment but that may be due to trauma. I would have thought that if you didn't feel any affection for a baby you'd felt moving inside you for months then you never would, but everybody's different of course.

The baby looked about the same size as my granddaughter, whose over 2 months old now. No wonder Faye was in agony giving birth to that!

Sally's smug quips about parenting were funny and so were Anna and Owen's retorts (especially when implying that private school was wasted on dim Rosie).

I found it frustrating that everyone one was talking to Faye about breathing but noone was massaging her lower back to help her with pain or whatever else your supposed to do. Especially people in the room who have given birth! i do not think Faye wants to keep the baby. I expect most people her age would not want the responsibility. They must not force her into the situation she does not want. We know Anna gets fed up later on holding the baby... So they should listen.

Yes, if Faye really doesn't want the baby it would be better for both of them if it were adopted.

anna wont give a choice

[mariba]

Yes-I don't understand either why they are forcing Faye to accept and love the baby-why not to give her for adoption?? Faye is only 13 for goodness sake!!

Because I think Anna is too controlling -
she is not interested in the baby or
Fayes welfare-needs to be in charge.

I agree with the several.posters who
have said adoption would be best option.
It certainly would be unless there are radical
changes of heart & behaviour. Some families
could make it work but I dont think this is
one of them.And it would take away the
remainder of Fayes chlidhood- not that
shes had a brilliant one so far!

A couple of months ago.Mr Blackburn said
in effect that everything would be ok in
a years time and they would look back and
realise how far they had come! I may be
quite wrong but I think the soap management
would regard adoption as some sort of letdown/
failure which it isnt when done properly.

One point that interests me(I assume Social
Services will be involved as Faye is under age)
is if a very young mother is adamant she wants
her baby adopted and has thought it through-
but the mothers parent/ guardian didnt -
how much attention would be paid to their
wishes and could they eg adopt the baby
themselves ??
