kylie is bound to have seen photos of sarah and bethany from gail or david in the past

Bethany does look older than she is but I don't think she looks old enough for Kylie to mistake her as David's girlfriend.

My thinking when I said Kylie might think Bethany was David's new girlfriend was that yes, Kylie will have seen pictures of Bethany, but if Bethany was a bit younger in them (say 10 or 12) without a face full of make up, she would look quite different and it might not occur to Kylie who she was at first sight. Also, who studies photos of other people's relatives closely?

Bethany is a 14 year old who can pass for 18 with full make-up (she was served in the pub remember) so I still think she could looks old enough to be David's girlfriend at first glance (he's in his mid twenties).

It's my experience when tragedies like this happen that people rally round and support ALL the victims. No-one gets blamed as people realise it's an accident.

But this is Coronations Street I suppose, the land of the scapegoat.

Especially given leaving a candle lit is an accident that could happen to anyone.

Maybe it should be renamed Scapegoat Street?
