Seems like every week someone's in a hospital bed...
Oh will Sinead walk ever again - shock horror!! - Yep she will get that physio that got Jim Mc, Peter B and Sophie W up and about in weeks like nothing had ever happened. All these "dramatic" headlines have zero affect these days I am afraid. Glad to see Steve is getting the help he deserves and shame on Liz his own mother for just shouting at him wrapped up in herself all the flaming time!!
Is Frosty an EE fan?
I Agree the 'Will they walk again' bit is tedious because they always do. oh look it's a miracle! no it's just medical science and hard work.
Producers, these days, would have a real ethical problem using a physically abled actor to play a permanently disabled character. Sinead might end up with a bit of a limp or, more likely, she'll make a remarkable recovery. I suppose this storyline is intended to give a pretty boring character some depth.
It does seem odd that this mini bus accident was so hyped before and after with the all the "how it was filmed" "who survives" etc....and then to have the outcome be so anti-climatic. I mean Sinead is nice enough but we all know she is going to walk very soon anyway.
It was hyped like the tram crash but didn't really deliver anything. At least the tram crash had real consequences....poor Ashley.
I like Sinead, but that's it. I don't feel invested in her character whatsoever so I'm just not that bothered. But then again giving her a storyline may change my view of her. Here's to being positive :)
Gary and Alya just don't do it for me..I can't find one bit of chemistry here. And Gary's lines..the same thing over and over.."I'm going nowhere". Exactly..your character is going nowhere. How many time is Alya's brother going to tell Gary to stay away from his sister. BoreING! Also the whole 'might be paralized' scenario has been done to death. I would also like to see Roy tell Mary to eff off and take her caravan with her. Waste of space character IMO.
