So Ed shot Emily's husband Ernest in 1978. I may be barking up a wrong tree here, but let me ask you one simple question. If someone had murdered your nearest and dearest, you had attended the subsequent court case, and been subjected to those responsible staring back at you on the front pages of the Weatherfield Gazette for days / weeks on end....would you ever forget their faces, even if it was 28 years later. ( forget the fact that it is a different actor playing the part.)
