Tears Of A Nation .......

[Ann]

Of Corrie lovers!!

Story line although handled sensitively is a bit irresponsible I thought, just hope there are no copy cat ......

Poor Roy :(

[Ric.ror]

Bit disappointed really
And I wanted to smack Tyrone and Carla

[Ann]

Hayley appeared to recover her voice well just before she died ............. even looked healthier in her face!

[mikey4444]

I haven't watched Corrie in 20 years but was prompted to do so by Channel Four News tonight. 20 years and yet I am dewy eyed tonight !

[netibiza]

I was furious with Tyrone and Carla. I thought it was handled well, and "copycat"? If someone is that way inclined, they'll do it anyway.

[boxtops]

Ann, why is it irresponsible? it's been all over the TV press for weeks, how she was going to do it. I can't imagine that the TV company didn't seek guidance before shooting this story.

[Ann]

Why were you furious with Tyrone and Carla?

[chrissa1]

I blubbed through the whole half hour. Very well done and not irresponsible at all.

[maggiebee]

Guidance was given by Samaritans. It was agreed that drugs taken were not mentioned nor was how they were sourced. Didn't watch so don't know if these guidelines were followed.

[Ann]

No Boxy, its just that I'm not comfortable with this storyline at all.

[Ann]

Thats right maggie, I did notice that we didn't see how or where Hayley got the lethal dose, so I suppose that part was handled correctly.

[chrissa1]

Tyrone and Carla weren't to know anything was going on.

[boxtops]

.. and that's how Hayley wanted it, nobody was to know.

[mazie]

Me too chrissa. Lost my Mum 8 weeks ago so relived it a bit :o(

[Ann]

I will say that both actors should get awards for their acting, so well acted, especially Roy - he was so brilliant, it must have been hard for him as it probably seemed so real to him.

[chrissa1]

I thoroughly agree, Ann. Everyone should go on to the NTA website and cast their vote for Roy.

[DTCwordfan]

on the Beeb, the counter-argument was that folk taking their lives is very small -

lost 2/rds of my message there - deaths by such action as portrayed on Corrie is way under 0.5% and how palliative care has come on leaps and bounds in managing pain to take patients through to a 'natural' death in reasonably comfortable surroundings/conditions. This was where Corrie was irresponsible in not getting this across to those at the top of a horrible learning curve.

[chrissa1]

So sorry to hear that, mazie. I never got the chance to say all those things to my husband and I wish I had been there.

[netibiza]

I thought that Hayley had been prescribed stronger meds and that she was hoarding them.

I was furious with Tyrone and Carla for barging into a sick woman's home, when Tyrone had seen previously how tired Hayley was, and Carla knowing how ill Hayley was, well you just wouldn't especially if her husband was with her.
