While they may have researched the grooming aspect and got it right, they totally missed the mark on what would be appropriate character responses. To think that her Uncles and Gail and Audrey would not step in is ludicrous.Or the fact that Gary would let it go is silly. It seems they're so eager to pat themselves on the back with bringing yet another "Zagghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662421339199574967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-32689272611547029662017-05-01T18:15:10.347+01:002017-05-01T18:15:10.347+01:00I am totally with Beth.

Sure she was a victim too, but in this day and age you can warn a family or the authorities in many different and anonymous ways to prevent another girl from being exploited. Instead, Mel is the one who spiked Bethany's drink on the night when she slept with Nathan. <br /><br />Also, two other girls were being searched for as victims ofMarichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295287855690799143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-38213695837893231882017-05-01T15:29:21.725+01:002017-05-01T15:29:21.725+01:00imho, this is Corrie's strongest storyline in ...imho, this is Corrie's strongest storyline in recent memory. By having it play out inexorably, they're also going to have created one of their strongest female leads in recent memory. Having watched Bethany go through this, viewers won't be able to see her as a child any longer. She'll be more mature, if she isn't already, than Sarah or her gran.

It has been handled well and acted superbly, but I'm finding myself not wanting to watch any scene with Nathan in. He is so convincing. I hope that if I see Chris in other programmes after he leaves Corrie I see him as his new character and not nasty Nathan.

They've highlighted the issue, and brought it to people's attention, if they were unaware of it before. Friday's scenes with Neil and Bethany were stomach churning. They don't need any more.<br /><br />I still think that they should leave this sort of thing to EastEnders.
