Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Jadefalcon]

I saw a doctor talking about resuscitation on TV, saying it is not as is shown in hospital dramas often is is so vigorous that patients suffers broken ribs. I would not imagine a three year old could withstand much of this sort of trauma. This story reminds us of how great Corrie can be.

Well I remember doing a first aid course some years back and being shown that CPR with a baby is obviously totally different from even a toddler, never mind a full grown adult. As you say there's the chance of broken ribs or worse.

Some heartbreaking scenes last night. One of the things I've enjoyed about this sad storyline is how it's affected several families on the Street and has enabled Oliver's various relatives to interact with characters they don't usually share scenes with, such as Steve and Sarah recently, and now Toyah and Gail. In fact Gail was one of the strongest characters for me in her few scenes, desperately wondering what on earth she can say to Nick, which proves yet again that she isn't just a simpering idiot.
The final scene, with Leanne crying in Oliver's bedroom with all his toys around her, was the saddest of all. Something about the dinosaur pillowcase just set me off, for some reason...

I agree when given dramatic material Gail is very good

Was there any mention of Liz, Janice, Stella or any of the other family members?

I liked Emma with Simon and Amy also

The only mention of Liz in the Friday episodes seemed to be the Jenny/Johnny argument when he was trying to get a divorce.

I wish Bev had filmed something she is only in Wales in a castle, he is her grandson

A moving and sad episode, i don't see the wisdom in killing off Oliver, i don't think the producers and writers have thought about this long term.

I was surprised she stayed for "fun" with Ray.

I do not quite understand why Faye feels so undervalued to fall for Ray's charms so easily ... I think she was always well looked after by Anna and then her dad and other family members to give her a bit more self confidence...
