Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

I found Anna and Owen's plight moving last night, especially when Anna went to the foodbank. It's nice to see their troubles bringing them closer together too. Sensitively written scenes in Corrie for once. :clap:

I hope Andrea's gone for good now.

I think Andrea is a regular cast member now ....

I think this library campaign could become his new obsession, just seems to fit Roy's pattern...

Yes, and it would be good if it were linked to his grief and loneliness without Hayley.

I am sure he is grieving still as he remembered her date of diagnosis and the bookmark she gave him, There was a build up to her going. People grieve in different ways. I would prefer him to be strong and fight good causes she would have backed.

I just don't want the grief aspect glossed over and forgotten. Roy has mentioned Hayley briefly but otherwise appears unchanged by his loss. That's just so unrealistic for such a close couple, and for someone who doesn't cope well with change like Roy. He'd be profoundly affected by Hayley's loss. I don't want to watch him be depressed and lonely for years but would like a little realism along the way.

I am glad he's got this storyline about fighting the closure of the library now as it suits his character to a T. His friendship with Kal's mum looks like it could be entertaining.

Why does Leanne want maintenance off Nick for Simon, surely Peter has made some provision for that.
