So where are Sinead's family now she - shock horror - may never ever walk again? They were in our faces a couple of weeks ago but now nowhere to be seen! It makes this business even more ridiculous and not credible.
Oh, for goodness sake. The programme has a history, as all soaps do, of not reflecting the extended family realistically. Val Barlow's mother didn't make it to Weatherfield until 1969, seven years after she was married, Ivy Tilsley's parents were at Brian and Gail's wedding but then disappeared: there have been loads of examples over the years. As per the post of a couple of days ago, where were the relatives when the Lake District coach crashed in 1969?
Serious question: does Blogger have an option to turn off comments? (you'll probably delete this one too)
Oh, I'm with Frosty on this one. The Tinker ladies don't live too far away. There hasn't been as much as a phone call to or from mom. She's what, 23 years old? It isn't as if her mom is whittering away in an old folks home or on a foreign diplomatic mission.
Then again, does Martin Platt know he has a granddaughter?
It's always been one of those annoyances to me that relatives or close friends off screen aren't included in storylines, or attend funerals etc. but it's just one of those things that you have to accept.
Exactly! It's not worth the whinge.
I agree with the complaints about Sinead's family as Chesney could use their support too right now.
It was the same with Tina's mother,she shows up briefly for her daughter's funeral but is nowhere to be seen during Peter's trial?If the writers see fit to bring back members of the Platt family from time to time why not members of other resident's families?
You would think that when the actresses were hired for the period leading up to and including Beth's wedding, the writers would have known about the outcome of the mini-bus crash and would have requested from the higher-ups that the guest actresses be asked to also film some scenes with Sinead in hospital. I don't understand why that wasn't done. It can't be budget constraints, with all the money spent on stunts and special effects.
Defrost Indoors -- in response to your post/question above, yes, I believe Blogger can delete our posts. I posted a negative comment about Kym Marsh, and it was removed. In fact, I believe Blogger removed all the comments and removed the ability to comment altogether! (There was no option to add a comment).
My comment was not aggressive, nor did it have bad language. I think critizing the actual actor(s) is not acceptable to the Blogger website.
Exactly my point! The Tinkers were brought in for the wedding and hen night, surely the scriptwriters knew about the bus crash a couple of weeks later so why not keep the family on? For not one of them to visit or even phone is just ridiculous and really badly planned. All we have is Beth and moany little Chesney at the bedside 24-7.
From what I recall the Tinkers will be back, I'm sure the granny said she had something like an 8 week contract.
