All soaps have it, Hollyoaks has a few murderers free no guilt and Emmerdale has Ross and Carly doing bad things too

Thanks tammy. I only watch Corrie & EE but you don't surprise me. It seems to be a very hackneyed storyline.

we need soap villains who do bad things to be punished too many escape scot free in real life

Yes, true, but what I think makes it more aggravating in these cases is that it's not just that the villain is going unpunished - though that's bad enough - it's that someone else, who is completely innocent and not just innocent but a victim as well, is suffering and having the finger pointed.

And, I think in many cases it goes as far as bullying.. I just hate Corrie's style where the whole street is always ganging up against that one (innocent) character - which has been Carla now TWICE very recently. Usually at least the truth has come out in the end, but doesn't look that way now.. Rather than Carla being punished all the time, I'd like to see Tracy losing everything(including being punished for the fire) in the wake of her mother's death.. Maybe, just maybe after that she might change her ways. Will that happen? Doubt it..

Unless Tracy is shown to be behind the fire, I have to say I don't really see the point of the story. Why not just have Carla responsible for the fire? I'm sure that, in line with Soap morality, the real culprit will be exposed in the end.

I should say in line with Corrie morality as I'm growing less and less confident that Soap morality applies any longer in EE.

I think the producer says suspicions will rise but no evidence to prove it. I think it will be enough for Carla to leave with her head held high (i hope)

Fingers crossed. Given there's no hope of Tracy being punished legally, I'll be satisfied if the community knows the truth so Carla's exonerated.

carla has accepted the fire was her fault so is guilty gambling, tracy will have to confess or a witness have spotted her in the victoria flat block but very doubtful

I suppose Tracy could confess as part of her "redemption".
