I suppose everyone's allowed a holiday sometime, but as a big Windass fan I've been experiencing "Eddie withdrawals" as he's only been glimpsed on screen occasionally and very briefly recently *pine*. However, today I read over on Digital Spy that the Afghanistan storyline, in which Gary Windass (played by Mikey North) features as a bomb disposal expert is definitely in the pipeline and is due to be Very Emotional. Hankies at the ready. I think this will be a good one. Lots of families have sons and daughters in the Forces and will be able to identify with this. I know many people loathe Eddie due to his dreadful layabout tendencies and filthy habits, but there's more to him than that, and I think we're about to see Eddie at his best. However, I really hope the Coronation Street writers don't redeem him too much. Anna Windass (Debbie Rush) is always really good at humour and pathos so this will be ideal for her, and Mikey North is a credit to Corrie, so all in all, I'm going to sit back and enjoy. I only hope that Gary's upcoming flirtation with the awful Kylie is brief - I'd far rather see a Gary/Izzy romance develop.

What's in the wind for the Windasses?

Yikes -- are they going to kill or cripple Gary? :( He's quite grown on me and I'd hate to see anything really permanent happen to him.
Oh dear, I know, I feel the same. Goodness only knows what they've got planned for him.
Possibly a post-traumatic stress storyline? Whatever they do, the Windasses have become an asset to the show.
I agree Maggie, post traumatic stress would be a good 'un.
Yes I read that article on Digital Spy to but what I don't understand is how Gary has suddenly turned into a bomb disposal expert.
