Fireman Paul's dilemma

In the past, I have been a little hard on Paul, but after Friday's scenes, you can see the poor bloke is suffering. Paul puts all his efforts in trying to keep life how it was, living with Lesley and still doing his full time job.

To see him shouting at Lesley was a indicator that he is reaching breaking point. To me it seems that Paul can't bring himself to put Lesley in a care home, as he feels as if he was abandoning her to be with Eileen.

While putting Lesley in a home would mean more time for Eileen, I don't think it would be fair to say that it is his sole reason. Paul needs to to do it to get his life back, he also needs to let Eileen get her life back, she's spent the whole first quarter of this year caring for Lesley, and that is simply not fair on Eileen.

Coronation Street spoiler: Lesley disappears with Amy Barlow

Little Amy Barlow is going to get taken away by Paul's ill wife Lesley, who has early on-set Alzheimer's Disease.

The Coronation Street spoiler is in this week's fab Inside Soap magazine who reveal that Steve and Tracy are at their wits end when Amy goes missing and a full search is sparked.

A Corrie source tells the mag: "Steve will be absolutely furious that young Amy has been put in danger like this.  He's going to lash out at Lesley - and given how close Steve is to Eileen, his words will hit home hard."

Scenes have been shot already on location with the actor Judy Holt who plays Lesley and child actor Elle Mulvaney who plays Amy.

Disgusted with Eileen

Why, why, why do they always pair Eileen off with someone with complications, why can't she just find a nice bloke? Usually it is the people she is paired off with that I end up disliking though.

This time it is Eileen who I am finding myself annoyed with, what she is doing is not right, no matter how she dresses it up. Paul is in a very vunerable position, sure he needs a friend, but that doesn't seem enough for Eileen.

I don't really know how Eileen can look poor Lesley in the face after what she has done, Lesley, when she is herself, seems to be a lovely woman, and it's easy to see why Paul married her. Fireman Paul is obviously heartbroken at what is happening to his wife, and might feel the need to go running to another woman, but I don't think this is what Paul needs.

Paul simply needs a shoulder to cry on, and someone to support him, Eileen on the other hand needs to sort her life out, what she is  doing is morally wrong and frankly, quite disgusting, I hope she sees sense and ends it with Paul, but I somehow can't see it being that simple.
