I know these are all important issues but... aren't they tackling a lot of issues? We regularly get disclaimers to contact someone if this issue is affecting you. I appreciate how well Shayne did, and I'm devastated the character is gone. No one in the audience wanted to see Aidan exit like this.
I just wish Corrie would lighten up a little now.
(with all respect to all who have lost loved ones in this manner. Like I wrote, these are all important issues.)
When a soap is on 3 hours per week, there has to be issues. What lightness is capable of gripping an audience to tune in week after week. I believe much of the show's comedy is lost on the commenters here because they are too busy cursing the dark
I appreciate that, and the comedy isn't lost on me at all. And I don't curse the dark.
It's just emotionally tough to see such an enormous tragedy happen so quickly with David's ordeal, the murders of Luke and Andy (and note I enjoyed Phelan!), Bethany's ordeal, etc. It's just about balance.
I thought all of Aidan's scenes were sensitively played and continue to watch.
