Yes but maybe they are afraid the baby will be taken away by SS so they are testing the water in order to inform the father's parents. How rude were they criticising where Anna and Owen lived.Quote:

Not sure he gets to shoulder his share of responsibility in the matter.
OK scrap the idea of Jackson's family having custody of the baby. What a nice family they are... :thumbsdow
Tim loves her so much it'd be cruel to take her away now. He knows he can redeem himself for abandoning Faye by helping care for the baby. Maybe if Faye decides she doesn't want to be a mum, Tim and Sally could adopt her? We never see Faye holding her so I guess she's avoiding it as much as possible. Maybe she'll grow to love her though.
I found the last scene rather strange. Izzy was sympathetic towards Owen but then said something along the lines of him bringing it all upon himself. I agree but it jarred with her earlier words.
To insist on a DNA test they would need to go to the police I feel? They can't force Jackson to have a sample taken.
So to involve the police in a case of Jackson ( a minor) having sex with a minor?
Faye was under 13 at time of sexual intercourseQuote:

There is "confidentiality" when dealing with
under age sex eg counsellors but the advice is
the confidentiality dosent automatically override
other factors where they exist.
Which is why as I said in an earlier post that
I hope some thorough research has been done
and legal advice taken.

Grandpa Tim was lovely
if I was Anna I'd have rung the police the minute Jenkins family flounced out and reporting the little scroteQuote:

They seem just the type to want to control the situation. :wall:Quote:

Im most sorry for baby(tho she is unaware)
and then for Faye. I hope Tims attitude can
salvage something out of this.
I think Anna just regards the baby and Faye
as "possessions" not people and the fathers
family are equally unpleasant!!

I agree with you about Anna and her family as I dislike them too. It just goes to show how much I hated Jackson's family - with their smug and superior attitude - if I'm worried the baby'll end up with them rather than the Windasses! :eek:Quote:

We saw the police question them. They came to the hospital.
Hate to admit this but I am enjoying Toxic Traceyluv at the moment. Her one liners and complete disregard for everyone else has me in stiches.
The hospital would be legally obliged to contact them and Social ServicesQuote:

It seems the police haven't followed up on the initial interview yet. I hope it will happen because I'm sure they'd try harder to get to the bottom of it in real life.
The row between Anna and Owen felt very true to life. I'm sure we've all been there when an argument escalates and years of resentments come tumbling out. I've hated Owen and was glad to hear he was leaving but he's redeemed himself slightly by listening to Faye recently.
If only they'd made Owen more likeable I think the actor would have stayed (from what I've read). I've always liked him in other parts and felt it was a shame Owen was such a repulsive bully a lot of the time, as he could have been a tough character but one who was enjoyable to watch if written better.
I'm even more astonished to find myself agreeing with you (to a degree) Alan! Tracy's been written really well recently and her barbed one-liners are always entertaining. Kate Ford has excellent comic timing but I'm afraid I still find her dramatic acting less than convincing. I usually enjoy her scenes with Todd and found the way she wriggled out of his blackmail attempt to be clever and entertaining.Quote:

TL;DR: Anna's unbearable, Owen won't be missed, Tracy's surprisingly watchable at the moment and Liz is annoying! :D
I want Jim McDonald back on the street, wasn't he meant to come back??
Must say I would have found it far more interesting to watch Faye to give her baby for adoption(or maybe fostering first..) and to see how it affects her long term-than learning to cope and love the baby..She's resisting the baby too much-makes me uncomfortable. Not good for anyone, and not the least for the poor baby.
Fayes just not being given time to adjustQuote:

or baby.
I think fostering (as long as Anna not involved)
would be a good idea - as it would give
Faye a chance to consider options without
irrevocable decisions. There should be
opportunities for Faye to visit baby -if she
wished meanwhile.
But from reading spoilers it looks like
Anna will get worse at least short term
and I dont think fostering the baby out
will fit Mr Blackburns vision of "family"

Maybe Ian and Jane could foster the baby....ooops, wrong Soap.
Im sure the Soap Tardis could overcomeQuote:

I would prefer Anna leaving than Owen, I used to like her character but she has changed so much for the worse, maybe Tim can offer to take the baby while Faye gets her head together to decide
Not liking Carla and Nick so far but it is only starting
Tony and Tracey work better together than him and Liz and I like Tracey's "friendship" with Todd
Does Callum now live on the street, he is there now constantly and when did he become a gym member same with Bethany and Sarah Louise, if she is such a successful business woman in Italy why cant they stay in a hotel or even with Audrey
Callum suddenly spending all his time on the street is quite bizarre. I'm sure there are several high-tech gyms that someone like him would find appealing closer to his home than Kal's dingy gym.Quote:

To be honest, I don't mind either issues as I find all three characters interesting and am glad they're spending all their time in Coronation Street to liven it up. :)
They cram in a lot of people in all of the houses on the street. The Nazirs, Eileen, Anna and Owen etc and when Erica stays at the pub space majically appears.
I dislike the new Bethany and more so her with Sarah Louise, both annoying so far imo
