Yes-not so much disgusted as appalled.Originally Posted by Dazzle
Are you referring to Sophie MM? I couldn't resist googling it to see what had disgusted you so...
As said before pregnancies in 12-13yr olds
much reduced so story somewhat out of
time. However a reduction means there
are still some- so possiblity of a reasonable
story . In real life - after initial shock-
most families would rally round/ decisions
made and if the girl keeps baby he/she
would be loved as part of that family.
However factor in Anna and that changes
things and now Sophie is involved!
The actress playing Anna has given an interview
where its obvious she thinks her character is
no problem (Its Owen "who will go off like
a rocket"- pot/ kettle). I also found her attitude
to Ellie Leach very patronising. I accept the
actress is protecting her own job- without
Faye -not much going for her - after Owen etc
keave.
Regarding Sophie -the kindest thing I can say
is I cant think of any storyline that she has
improved.I suppose her involvement is
that the actress is Fayes cousin and her presence
may give Ellie confidence.If so - should Ellie
actually be playing in the storyline??
Some posters have expressed a wish that
two gay women should have a long term
relationship and family together. If that
was to be pursued -I think they would
have to start with two new characters
to give the storyline a chance. There were
several such couples in "One born every
minute"- so must happened quite often.
What I would like is a storyline every now
and then - where a female( or male) young
character does something positive -goes
to college/ trains for a career or has apprenticeship.
If they start out bright they then became a bit
dense.
If we must delve into the darker side of
teenage life.A new report has been published
in last couple of days to say that 4 out of 10
teenage girls say they have been physically/
sexually abused by boyfriends. There were
some short tv "ads" a couple of years ago-
about what is acceptable behaviour- but
nothing since.Its obviously a big problem
and more relevant to current times!
