Ryan Prescott, who plays Ryan Connor was on This Morning today and explained that he will have a prosthetics mask for a long time to come to show the process of healing, should not be over in a couple of weeks.

scarred for life

Although it was well done and well acted, it was unpleasant to watch, I suppose that was the point however to many effects for me, the opening of the ep looked more like a trailer for the show, infact it would have been a brilliant trailer, odd it was not heavily promoted?

Where was Aggie, she should have coincidently been in the ladies toilet at the time and able to have given first aid to Ryan.
She wasn't even in the hospital to give him a skin graft. Has she walked out?

Aggie was carrying out a heart transplant in the back of an Ambulance at Weatherfield general. Roy was supposed to be on call for all life saving first aid but sadly he had forgotten to tell them he has given up his mobile phone

I suspect that Justin will be locked up in a mental hospital till some fools think he has been cured.

If someone thinks he's been cured, then he'll be ready to bring home the bacon.

Daisy enourages Ryan to have some music of the night.

In the real world the Police would interview Aaron, but I doubt that there would be a prosecution. However, this is not the real world.

This will be his word against her word, and since both admit to being so drunk they cannot remember details of what happened it is unlikely a prosecution would result in a conviction. What this story does show is the dangers of drinking so much that you pass out. Soap characters frequently set out to deliberately get blind drunk, blootered, sozzled or kale-eyed, it seems to be the answer to any pressure or upset experienced in their lives. I have been all of the above at sometime in my life but I never set out deliberately to do so.

Totally agree. I am a non-drinker myself, though I am quite happy for other people to drink alcohol if they wish. I am not puritanical about it! However, I do agree that drinking does somehow seem to be glorified in soaps, which I find somewhat distasteful (if you'll forgive the pun). Perhaps other coping strategies should be explored more.

Glad to see that Ryan is keeping up the Soap tradition of snapping and shouting at hospital staff.

It's hard to distance glorified drinking in soaps when the three main ones are set with Pubs as their main focus of attention.
