Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

I'm not an expert in how symptoms of dementia show and at what rate the individual deteriorates, but when Debbie first started showing signs, there were fairly regular occurrences of memory loss, which, indeed, is why she sought medical help. After diagnosis there were also signs of memory loss, but, since then, for a period of weeks if not months, there haven't been any signs or lapses of memory that I can think of.

On a similar theme with Debbie, she is now doing all she can to protect Carl - mother's instinct - but before it became a "thing", she wasn't seen as so supportive, especially at the time of Kevin and Abi's break up.

It's a good thing the scriptwriters are so flexible to fit in with the needs of the producer's whims!

from my memory carla stopped billy and his bus driving into beckys crashed car which he would have seen and then he swerved and flipped, carl crashed afterwards

I have rewatched several times, and cannot tell what it was that Carl crashed into. Presumably it was the bus which is why Debbie is charged with killing Billy. But it was not the crash that killed him it was the fire, and the van had crashed before Carl's car hit it, so cannot see how Deebbie could solely be held responsible for his death. Was Debbie breathalysed at the scene, she was up and walking so should not have needed blood tests at the hospital.
