Carla Connor (Alison King)

[LouiseP]

What HAVE they done to Carla.? A once successful woman totally in charge of herself and now she is a pathetic victim of Stuart Blackburn's "wonderful" ideas. She is now a wreck. What a dreadful, dreadful shame.

[maidmarian]

Would like to think it won't happen. Carla should take the morning after pill if it is a concern. That's what they're for isn't it? Unless she doesn't mind having a child by anyone.

She might not mind who the father is( tho.I
think she should!!)

But she should certainly care about the mental
& physical health of the mother( herself )
at the time of conception and throughout
pregnancy with all the drinking etc- for the sake
of the child!

Unless she going to use a surrogate- not done
in British Soap !??
Go.on her break and come back.with an
" Heres one made earlier " baby!

Katie Sugden was a surrogate for Grayson and Perdita Sinclair

Katie Sugden was a surrogate for Grayson and Perdita Sinclair

Yes thats right and it was mentioned again
when Katie died!!

[parkerman]

Wasn't Tina a surrogate for Izzy and Gary?

[LouiseP]

Wasn't Tina a surrogate for Izzy and Gary?

Yes, she was. Then didn't want to give him to them

[maidmarian]

Wasn't Tina a surrogate for Izzy and Gary?

Yes- thats right and there was one in ED some
years ago - as mentioned by Perdita above!!

I think I was thinking of something more official&
discreet with a proper contract and Carla coming
back with surprise baby.Or like happened in previous
times.Where supposed mother disappeared
abroad with a female companion ( actually was
pregnant)
They returned some time later with surprise baby
the baby which was the husbands was brought up
by his wife & himself.One answer to fertiility problems!

Or the worry of recreating my Hilda Ogden tribute
act has been a bit much.
Not sure Hilda will be impressed when I tell
her about the costume Moonstorm WONT be
wearing- not much of one anyway!!

carla gets hit by a car

[tammyy2j]

It is a shame Tammy but she needs to
deal with her drink issues before she
becomes pregnant again. Heavy drinking
in pregnancy can cause developmental
problems in the baby and also affect the
mothers ability to care for the baby after
birth!

Carla is typical of Soap women who start
off intelligent and having reasonable relaionships
then get dumbed down in the cause of drama!
I wonder if that came out in their recent survey.
A few nice chats with Roy wont put that
perception right.

Nick.would be a good father - but she needs to
sort herself first- and the clocks ticking!!

She could have stopped as she was pregnant, she did if I recall when she was

Bad news for Carla Connor fans. When it was announced that Coronation Street’s Alison King was leaving the cobbles it was claimed she was just taking a break, but the actress has now admitted that fans weren’t told the truth and confirmed she is leaving.
While bosses are not going to kill off her character, Alison says she’s moving on to a new chapter in her life.
She explained: “I am actually leaving. It's been put out there that I'm taking a sabbatical, but I'm not. They’ve very graciously left the doors open for me to come back if I want to - and I haven't ruled that out, but this is a new chapter for me. In my head, I only meant to stay four years. And I'm now going into my tenth year. It’s incredibly hard. My daughter Daisy, who's six, is the main victim because she has to share so much of her Mummy’s time with Corrie. A lot of the time, Carla's stories are high octane, emotional stuff. The learning of it takes up my weekends and it can be mentally and physically exhausting to perform.”
Alison added: “I miss being other people. It’s what I went to drama school for. I love playing diverse characters and meeting new people - and, truthfully, I also want to be able to get my voiceover career going again. There’s all sorts of things that I used to do, which I can’t do while I’m on Coronation Street. So, those are the reasons, really.”
