But I also found it quite sad to watch as the character Mike Baldwin was always such a big character, and now how the illness has affected him. I know its just TV. But found it sad to watch.
Like everything, we can only go by our own experiences and some differ from what is happening on Corrie and some don't. No matter what your views are on the storyline's portrayal of the disease, it should make you realise how fragile life is. Be grateful if you are healthy and feel compassion for those who aren't so lucky.
Having had experience of relatives with this cruel 'disease', and having worked in a psychiatric dept of the local hospital as a student, I find the writing to be fairly accurate, although, for the purpose of the 'soap' format it seems to have been (necessarily) 'cleaned up' and condensed a little.
I find the 'acting' of Johnny Briggs to be shockingly bad, however.
