Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Son of Cain]

I know it's a good thing to highlight domestic abuse and have a storyline about it, but I can't help thinking the fact it is all based on a false premise in this instance does detract from the story and leaves the whole question open to doubt when the man concerned can point, with justification in this case, to being falsely accused.

They already did the abuse story with Yasmeen and Geoff, perhaps they should have left it at that and just made this a story about false imprisonment and its effect on the family (Stu's wife and daughter) with maybe a corruption storyline thrown in and not dragged Yasmeen back into it.

I agree that there is something not quite right with this story. I think they trying to show that Yasmeen was so damaged by her experience with Geoff that it had affected her future relationships with any man. I dont want to say she is overreacting but she does seem to be getting into a terrible state when there is no immediate threat to her safety. Stu on the other hand could show more sensitivity and stop trying to make any contact with her when he sees how much it upsets her, or at least wait until he has some proof of his innocence.
