I know soaps are supposed to mirror real life but I sometimes wonder if it`s a good idea to get too deep and depressing. There must be a lot of viewers who are terminally ill and just want a bit of light relief when they watch TV rather than being reminded of their mortality. My mother has secondary cancer and I dread to think how she feels when she`s watching Coronation Street.
