Sorta Cheating

[weecalf]

The stupid story line in the over rated soap is made easier by the writers when the the hard done by characters are the one who its easier to write sentimental isn't it a pity of me story line for . The silly story line in boranation at the moment is a classic example .the actor has little to do only look as its a pity of me again .to make the writer and the player work is should if needed be a character who would not usually attract sympathy .

Do you want to try that again?

[EcclesCake]

Eh?

[boxtops]

eh?

[cupid04]

Which soap are we talking about?

[Calibax]

Are you saying that because Roy and Hayley are vulnerable characters anyway, it is easy to evoke sympathy for them?

[chelle7272]

I'm gonna guess..... EE Michael, Tamwar & Alice??

[chelle7272]

Ooops missed what seems to be reference to Corrie there!!

[boxtops]

No idea what weecalf means.....

[weecalf]

Yes Calibax that's what I mean .

[chelle7272]

But thay haven't just picked Hayley for a sad story, it's becuase the actress is leaving....

[weecalf]

People have got taxi and left ,was this a chance to to wring the last outa the character and Roy ?

[hc4361]

Can't believe you think the story line is silly, weecalf.
It is beautifully written and very well acted not only by Roy and Hayley but Fizz and Carla, too. Even Sally shone in her heart to heart with Roy.

This must be very difficult to write. As well as incorporating medical realism the writers must be careful to be neither mawkish nor alarmist and balance it elsewhere in each episode with more light hearted storylines.

I think they are dealing with a very emotive storyline superbly.

[hc4361]

There is no way Hayley would just get in a taxi and leave Roy.

My OH loathes Coronation STreet but happened to be in the room when their original argument about her wishes was on. It actually provoked a discussion between us on the subject, something we would never have done otherwise, we don't do that sort of thing. I'm sure we're not the only people for whom it has provoked a discussion on this difficult subject.

We have had that conversation in our house. Same response too.

We have had the conversation too, and I was recently nearly called on it (to help someone, not do it to myself).
