I don't think anyone is condemning Roy. If the remark, "I know its only a soap but its easy to condemn from behind a computer screen" is directed at me, all I am trying to point out is how a mother would feel seeing her son in that state and why it is just as understandable she feels the way she does as what Roy did.
I can understand that Anna feels that way, it is her son, she feels protective.
She is just ignoring the fact that Roy would not be in this situation, a situation he did not want to be in and would not have been put in, if it were not for Gary starting the ball rolling.
Certainly not directed at you Norman. You should know me better than that. It applies to us all. After all none of us know how we would react unless faced with the cicumstances. Its easy for us all to say what we would or wouldnt do from the luxury of a keyboard.Quote:

Absolutely tragic to see Steve at the end ,again so well portrayed.
So glad Anna told Owen to stop picking holes in everything Gary is doing, long overdue, in my opinion and I joined Steve in shedding a few tears at the end :(
Could this Roy/Gary thing be left here now?? OF COURSE not. I'm sure it has to be dragged on..even Mary has turned against Roy now-hah!
If Gary was my son(and I have 2 kids so I know how it feels to love your kids) I would say 'you got what you deserved now man up!!' Gary is not a 10 yr old boy but a grown man with very bad temper issues(+other problems) -he should get help.
As for Anna-she should forgive Roy straight away and also, to be quite apologetic for what her son has done to him. She has seen it very close how losing Hayley has affected Roy so she should be more understanding than anyone else! I think the whole storyline with Roy and Gary is just rubbish.
Steve is the only one keeping me watching Corrie at the moment. Very sad in the end..I was crying with him too..:(

very much in.agreement with yr comments
about Gary ( I know adulthood doesnt
happen overnight when u became 18 yrs-
Corrie have some incredibly juvenile 20+
year olds)
Also agree its very sad seeing Steve- he
must feel very alone- with no one
understanding how he feels.
