Coronation Street's missing baby

I'm a little concerned about little Liam. Where the devil has he gone? Is Uncle Kirk being babysitter, all the time, while Maria's at work in her new job at Underworld? Is Maria so ditzy that's she plum forgotten all about her baby boy?

Or maybe Ozzy's gone stir crazy with Maria and Kirk in the flat above the salon and eaten little Liam alive?

corrierules said...: Actually I think they're safer offscreen. It's when we can see them that's when terrible things happen.... Baby Jack gets caught with his mum in the corner store (tram crash) Simon gets lost in Blackpool, Simon almost gets trapped in his flat during a fire, Bethany gets hauled up to the church spire by her mad Nana Fearnes, Dev's little boy gets stuck on his balcony.....
While offscreen the kids are safe from the diabolical writers who imperil the wee ones at every turn...; 13 March 2011 at 19:43

I think the only time we saw them was when Sal was force-feeding them fish fingers. She's got a dark side to her has that Sally!; 14 March 2011 at 04:11

If you cannot afford to havesupport children and supply them nourishing storylines... one shouldn't to begin with! Stick with the oldies -- at least they can utter decent lengths of dialogue...; 14 March 2011 at 08:17
Chewy said...: They can't just "Stick with the oldies" because the oldies arent going to be there forever, over the past 10 years we've lost loads of oldies, newer generations need to be introduced so they can become the next oldies; 14 March 2011 at 13:44
