Once I realized that I did try to remove the reply and put up a new one but seems, it didn't work.

Anna was really good...and I agree with others saying that there was no need for Carla to march upstairs. I like Carla, I can understand she's worried and that's how she is, but she could have waited downstairs with Anna..
Both Julie and David have always been so good, I've absolutely loved them as a couple, and Hailey will be missed. But I must agree, that David deserves some kind of notification for his great perfomance on this storyline. The suffering&fear of being alone in his eyes was so real..That got me more than anything else. I was expecting myself to be in tears last night, but I really wasn't..Yet it was still touching- especially just before they went upstairs.But I know I will cry in Hayley's funeral.
I think the writers idea was to make it look like at the same time when someone dies, the other people just continue on with their lifes and (also insignificant-like Gloria/Dennis)problems..that's how life is..I think it was a really touching moment too when Hailey was looking out of the window and saw all the life on the street..and also when she gave her last advice to Chesney in the cafe. And I did cry when she hugged Fizz so tight and didn't want to let go..So sad!

One thing I've always wondered is..why do people always visit them in the cafe, why can't they go to the back to their sitting room? Even with Fizz&Ty and kids-wouldn't it make more sense to visit Hailey there?

Carla has been like the anti-death squad with all this. But obviously the writers needed a catalyst for the entry into the flat.

imo it would have been better to have left carla saying she thought something wasn't right. i also think the end scene should have been roy and hayley on the bed alone, fading out into darkness, playing the credits on the black background, with no music and no continuity announcer.

i hope julie and david get every gong going.

I'm quite angry at the writers for ruining the scene of Hayley's death by having screeching Carla barging in. It completely took me out of what had been a very moving scene up until then. Not happy at all :angry:

I do hope you don't choke there laughing, oh I really do. Euthanasia?:ninja::D

Anna sitting on her own in the café while Hayley was killing herself was quite poignant no need for Carla to bust in and don't get me started on that mule Tyrone looking for the toy and Gloria and Dennis another two idiots

Dennis has gotten a personality transplant too since he is leaving

Was Becky mentioned did I miss that?

I think what we're really looking at here is a weak script. These actions were down to the writers wanting that dramatic discovery scene.

Tyrone, Carla, Dennis, Gloria et al were not to know that Haley was doing herself in. Why should they not have acted as they did?

The writers needed them to do so in order to set up the dramatic break in scene. However, Carla certainly had her suspicions.

Tyrone especially wouldn't have been so pushy - it was totally out of character.

Totally agree and as I said in a previous post it was an example of weak writing. You often see this in soap scripts. They want to achieve an end and resort to illogical manuvers of plot/characters because I suppose, they lack the level of writing to come up with clever solutions.

My perception also of Allison King. Moving moments there when she comforted Roy.

How did the undertakers get Haley out of those awkward doors of the cafe. They would have had to stand her up.

Really? Probably different depending on where you live, or the undertakers. A relative of mine was taken in a coffin.
