I know Carla had a couple of drinks on the day of the fire but she was not drunk, surely Ken would never have asked her to look after Amy if she had been, so why is everyone saying she was boozed up??? Are they all presuming she got bladdered at home with a young girl to look after??? :wall::wall::wall:
it was liz who asked carla to mind amy not ken
Yes, this great assumption by everyone that Carla was p***** is just ridiculous. Even if The fire was Carla's fault I can't believe that in any normal community people would jump to this conclusion. They would feel sorry for Carla losing her home in an accident. I think Corrie portrays a very jaundiced view of humanity. It is all a complete philosophy of despair where no-one has a kind word or thought for anyone and is not realistic.
given she drinks quite a far bit it was easy for tracy to convince everyone drunk carla was culprit even carla herself
...
Sorry, I remembered that wrong but especially Liz would not have asked a drunken Carla to mind her granddaughterQuote:

So if people think this is one in a long line of Carla's drunken incidents that have led to people being hurt, it's easier to see why they blame her (when they might not if it was someone with an unblemished history).
It's still quite annoying and painful to watch though. :thumbsdow
The problem is that Carla is not sure whether she extinguished the candle before going to sleep or not and that kind of doubt is in most people when there has been an incident ... you think you know but the nagging doubt is there ...
