The Sunday People report today that baby Hope won't be in the room when Fiz is poisoned by the gas, and the People says (and I quote) "Corrie fans will be left on tenter-hooks to discover whether much-loved Fiz will pull through." Ahem. Corrie fans will know they wouldn't kill off one of the much-loved characters, so of course she'll pull through. Ooh, I hate it when the tabloids patronise us soap fans.
A show source said: "It is one of our biggest and most important storylines in a very long time and we need to make sure that it is portrayed properly as we know that scenes like this, if done properly, can save lives. That's why we decided to work with the Gas Safe Register. Carbon monoxide is the silent killer and the show hopes to bring the issue to everyone."
Of course, as us Corrie fans with long memories know, it's not the first time Corrie have done this carbon monoxide storyline. In 1998 Rita was taken to hospital once after breathing in fumes from her faulty fireplace in the flat that Steve McDonald installed for her. Alec Gilroy turned up in the nick of time to save Rita and when she recovered he realised how much he loved her and proposed to her. I wonder if the same thing will happen for Tyrone and Fiz?
