Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

The very least they should have done is ask if
their "help " was wanted!

To be fair, Fiz did ask for their help! She's obviously feeling overwhelmed at the moment.

While I can understand Tyrone's feelings, I thought his behaviour was rude.

I think it was such a big disappointment for him. Personally I have every sympathy with him.

I do sympathise with him feeling disappointed, but then so were Sinead, Beth and Kirk after collecting the money and going to so much trouble (and only because they were asked to). Obviously it meant a lot more to him because of Hope, and it's understandable he's feeling very stressed, but that doesn't cancel out his rudeness in my opinion. An apology is in order methinks.

[Perdita]

I think both had the best intentions at heart, Fiz is trying to remain hopefull that Hope can get better again, she thought getting help with decorations would take some stress away. Ty explained he is feeling helpless and decorating the tree would have helped take his mind off things, He probably also felt a bit undermined, all he wants is for Hope to have the best Christmas as she might not have another one. I agree with parkerman, the disappointment on his face was clear to see and I think he was shocked to see the room finished already .. maybe they could have kept some decorations back for him to finish the room with the girls

[Dazzle]

Don't forget also that Fiz is more or less coping alone at home because Tyrone's working long hours. That's nobody's fault, but if Tyrone isn't around then Fiz needs to get on with things (with help if need be). She was obviously unaware he felt so strongly about the tree.

Don't get me wrong, I felt sorry for Tyrone too. We're all capable of behaving badly when stressed (I know I am!), but at the same time it doesn't mean his attitude wasn't rude - even if it was understandable. It's certainly easily forgivable though in the circumstances.

sorry If I didnt make it clear.I meant they
should have asked Tyrone.Its his home
as much as Fiz and she is a bit ....
I thought when storyline was announced- Fiz
wasnt the best choice for mother of seriously
sick child.But I suppose it can happen to
any mother - regardless of personality.

Tyrone seems to have been the victim
of one bull-dozing woman ( from his
mother onwards) after another. He does try but isn't
all that competant in some things.

He has been a good father to Hope and
taken her to his heart.
I can accept his manner was a little "rude"
but to me -so is barging into.someones home
and taking over- without the request /
permission of all.the adult residents.
To me your home is somewhere that should
be a safe haven.
I think like Perdita that his strongest feeling
was disappointment and perhaps unlike
the usual Tyrone - showed it a little strongly.

But to do good - the good has to be wanted
or its basically interference.

I agree with that sentiment, but to me it doesn't apply in this case. Fiz asked Sinead, Beth and Kirk for help and they kindly obliged. It wasn't an unreasonable request so why would it occur to them that Tyrone would object to the plan? I see it simply as a case of crossed wires with nobody at fault.

I agree with your feelings about Fiz, maidmarian. I don't like the character much either, and don't find her sympathetic in this storyline.

I have always like Fiz, did not always agree with her attititude but then writers and directors are the ones that create and make a character or not. I am trying hard to support a loved one dying from cancer at the moment .. I can empathise with both Fiz and Ty with what they are going through right now and their reactions to certain things .. seems pretty realistic from where I am at the moment
