I thought Shona had lost her memory, not her marbles ! What was she thinking of stripping off in public view to have sex with David ??

If she had a total loss of memory then that would include how to behave.

This is typical in the sort of brain injury Shona had. More information here

Ah that explains it. I loved the look on David's face though, he just laughs it all off ...

if she had such a total loss of memory she would not know how to cross a road
it was silly thing to include in the episode

That's why she has a carer, danny. Corrie has been steered by Brain Injury Matters, in particular Dr Jonathan McCrea MCSP, Head of Adult Services, in this storyline and I think Corrie is doing a terrific job with it.

Her behaviour in stripping off to have sex in public has less to do with memory loss and more to do with not being able to judge what is or is not appropriate behaviour in any setting. That loss of social judgement is the result of the type of brain injury Shona has.

Please don't thank me, Burlyshirley, only too glad to help.
