Same as the difference between my two sons - not that that has anything to do with anything!:rolleyes:Quote:

I do not know anything about Izzy's illness, is it a slow progressing one that Linda felt unable to cope at that time? Or maybe was it with just having had another baby that proved too much??
But Linda acted surprised that Izzy was in a wheelchair, would she have not needed one when she was younger too, I am also not familiar with Izzy's illnessQuote:

Very complicated- 3 types- can be heriditary!
A lot of NHS info refers to infancy(floopy joints)
and refer to you or child.
It does sound very serious and debilitating from
an early age.It is a problem with connective
tissue and affects many body parts and functions.
I think the thing that puzzles me more than
characters reasonings is the fact that this
is a little known illness and there is lack of
understanding when people make thoughtless
remarks about Izzy facial expressions etc.
Im all for tv progs raising "awareness" but
wish they would do more research and
think things through.
dupl
It would have been useful, I think, if maybe Owen or Izzy herself had talked about her illness to Anna when Owen and Anna first got together, that would more than likely happen in a real relationship and would explain to viewers to help understand more ... or am I being too sensible and realistic again? :p
Did Izzy ever discuss her illness with anyone?Quote:

if u put Ehlers-Danlos into search on this
forum /u do get hits mainly about Izzys
initial reception on Corrie and when
the character wanted to have a child -
it was discissed then
Very sorry I mis-spelt the first part
of the name of illness initially!
As always! :DQuote:

The marriage of the century would be Gail and Ian Beale. How long would it last?
That might be it thenQuote:

PS I hope no-one has said this before.
Yes we have discussed that before Louise but it doesn't matter as comments are always appreciated. Just go back a few pages to see what our views are on Linda's absence.Quote:

Leanne was a tad hypocritical in her condemnation of Jason's suspicions of Eva and Tony. Has she forgetten that she had an affair with her former boyfriend's dad (Jamie and Danny Baldwin respectively). I really felt for Eva though - she was right to dump the idiotic Jason. (I still feel guilty for enjoying watching manipulative Todd.)
I am just glad it is winter time ... so many actresses in all soaps pregnant at the moment, at least they can wear big coats to hide their bumps although they are still visible in some scenes, especially with Eva :D
Sometimes I despair at the Corrie writers. "When they're married, we'll be officially brothers in law." If Andy were Gavin, he and Nick would be step brothers, not brothers in law.
I am sure I heard Nick say brother-in-law too but thought I must have misheard ... Can't an actor point out a very obvious mistake and speak to the producer/director before saying the lines???
I think the script writers vocabulary mustQuote:

step relations.
The French still use same term for bro in law
and step-bro beau frere.
But we are in Uk in 21st Century!
Basic prob is a general lack of checking basic info.
Id do some smiley faces - but they shoot all over.

I didn't even register that at the time. It does seem odd that nobody in the Corrie team picked it up either.Quote:

I can't believe they use very old fashioned terms of speech in what is meant to reflect current times ...
