Well I remember doing a first aid course some years back and being shown that CPR with a baby is obviously totally different from even a toddler, never mind a full grown adult. As you say there's the chance of broken ribs or worse.Quote:

I liked Emma with Simon and Amy also
The only mention of Liz in the Friday episodes seemed to be the Jenny/Johnny argument when he was trying to get a divorce.Quote:

No doubt Les and Janice will be appearing soon to comfort their daughter and attend the funeral......er....
run faye, after what happened to bethany and anna be smarter
I was surprised she stayed for "fun" with Ray.Quote:

Rather this than seeing Leanne and Steve and the others sitting round a hospital bed for the next few years, surely ...Quote:

I was shocked that she fell into his trap so easily. She has only had stability with Sally ....life with Anna was not all that.
Forgot about that finally Shona does something good
anna was a good mother to fayeQuote:

I am sure that a few weeks ago she was wary of him but now she goes to a hotel room with him unaccompanied. Surely she should have been suspicious of him when he asked her to help work on the wine list, as she knows next to nothing about wine. I doubt she has drank more than a couple of glasses of wine in her life.Quote:

Something very strange going on with the masks. Simon walks into Roy's Rolls with his mask on but takes it off when he gets inside, which is the reverse of what he should do. Then he and Shona sit in the cafe talking without masks on, but then are showing exiting with their masks on. All very strange........
She was very silly but still willing.Quote:

I don't think she could be described as willing. She was not physically forced but Ray still pressured her into it. I think she felt because he was her boss and had recently promoted her that she could not refuse. This is not what I would call free will.Quote:

As is Alya all the time telling Geoff what she will do for her gran.... glad this is going to be over soonQuote:

Yes, Emmerdale also do this, it is as if the producers feel they have show people wearing masks just to acknowledge Covid but don't really bother to show it properly as in the real world. It may be that they feel that we cannot understand what the cast are saying if we cannot see their faces, but we have manage this in real life. I have seen it said that people with hearing difficulties need to see the faces to lip read, but I am not sure this is a valid argument as characters do not always face the camera, and there are subtitles. As you say very strange or maybe just lazy lip service.Quote:

Surely friends and neighbours would have noticed if Yameen was drinking to excess. I don't think we ever saw her drunk. The Rovers and Dev would notice how much she was buying, so unless Geoff says she was going to Freshcos, or somewhere further away, for it, it should be pretty easy to cast doubt on his claims.
I'm not sure that's entirely true, SoC. Alcoholics can be very good at covering up their addiction. I don't want to go into details as it's all too personal, but I was at one time very close to someone who was an alcoholic and I don't think anyone outside her immediate family actually realised it.Quote:

Even if Elaine changes her mind surely if found out, Geoff can be done for witness tampering.
will the camera recordings be revisited retrieved come out in the trial
Debbie will not care as long as she doesn't lose her moneyQuote:

She has known Goeff for less than two years, Alya was living with her before Geoff moved in, she was much more outgoing and spent a lot more time in the company of others before this, and yet no one suspected she had a problem with drink. After she married Geoff she spent much more time at home so her opportunities to buy drink were limited, especially since he put her on a budget and took her credit card, which I think Alya and perhaps others knew about. On the occassion when she did go to The Rovers she did not drink to excess, so really there was only Geoff's word for it that she had a drink problem. I thought Imran should raised this with Geoff in court, perhaps he will later.Quote:

Regarding Geoff intimidating Elaine, surely the hospital has CCTV, the turned black collar on the jacket and black skipped hat would look a bit conspicuous, also wouldn't the computer system log the passcard he used.
Yes, she was thinking more of what was in it for her. She could have said she was on her period.Quote:
