As you may remember, we saw the Windasses visited by an Army officer on Monday night, there to inform them than Gary had been injured while serving in Afghanistan. Prior to that, we've seen Anna obsessively watching the news reports and worrying herself into a frazzle about Gary. This is not an uncommon scene around the country as many families are in the same situation. Ian Wylie spoke with Steve Huison in an interview that was published in the MEN the other day about this. Steve's heart goes out to families who have loved ones serving in war zones and says he really wants to get this storyline right, as a tribute to all those families going through this for real and he says "My heart goes out to parents with sons and daughters in Afghanistan. "
On Monday, we will see Gary in hospital as Eddie and Anna visit him. This week, we saw ex-squaddie Jim McDonald lead a toast to Gary in the pub when Roy Cropper spread the news.

The solution is not to join up. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. When you're fighting an illegal war, don't expect it to be fatality-free. If we really loved our 'loved ones', we would do all in our power to keep them from doing the bidding of governments fighting illegal wars.
I agree with you anonymous. But a lot of people (like "Gary Windass")feel driven to join up because they just don't see any other option for themselves in terms of job/future prospects. I can see exactly why they do it, but it is tragic, and a horrible indictment of how our society treats its youngsters. I think Mikey North is brilliant, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this storyline progresses.
