When Bethany made the comment about David putting drugs in her dolly,I wished Audrey told her how her mother planted drugs in the salon to frame David for the job in Milan. and wants to date a drug dealer!
For the first time in ages I was actually eagerly awaiting Friday nights episodes as Faye's pregnancy story unfolded. Amazing acting and beautiful writing. I actually had a tear in my eye as Faye shouted 'thanks' to Craig as the ambulance doors shut him out of the drama he had played such a pivotal role in.
In comparison, the CampCallum story lurches from tedious to downright dismal. He's a DRUG DEALER for heavens sake. He makes money by exploiting people and ruining their lives. It's illegal. He's even done time for it. Yet he's treated as someone who's only ever had to sit in the naughty step for nicking a packet of TicTacs from t'Kabin.
I am really out of my depth here, so I almost hesitate to comment, however - isn't there a wide range of people who could be described as drug dealers? The only one I ever knew personally lived downstairs from me in a large apartment complex and sold pot to friends. Because he had done jail time for dealing, he did not have a passport and was basically stuck, unable to get other employment without leaving the country. He was probably the nicest, most even tempered man I've ever met, at peace with his lot. I'm not saying this is who Callum is, but doesn't middle-class THE DRUG DEALER title have an outdated panto quality in this day and age? Given the problem of black people receiving life-altering prison sentences for minor drug incidents - at least in North America - I think this could have been an opportunity for Corrie to get deeper into the realities of the white collar drug world, where the penalties are relatively minimal and the profusion of recreational drugs among teens and young adults more normalised than us oldsters probably realise.
I agree - I don't really care that he is a drug dealer. He is still a person.
I could not disagree more. A coke dealer is bad news anyway or anywhere. There's a huge difference between a little weed and lots of cocaine.
I bet you would care if he was a drug dealer who got your kid addicted to coke. It is a nasty destructive, horrible path and one that should never be tolerated by society or the law.He ain't selling Tupperware.
