Re: Corrie

I just watched the Hayley Tammadon and Dan clip from Dancing on Ice, which was brilliant, but I'm increasingly becoming saddened by Hayley Cropper's very sad and cruel imminent death.

Julie Hesmondhalgh is playing the part brilliantly and is actually looking increasingly very frail as each episode is aired and is indeed a true portrayal of somebody in this condition.

I've cried on several occasions during Roy and Hayley's private moments together.

Re: Corrie

Mollie, that's why it is so watchable, because of their terrific acting. They underplay it, not like some actors/characters, who overdo it!

Re: Corrie

Indeed and the contrast between their so excellent acting and some of the other members of the cast is becoming increasingly obvious !

Re: Corrie

When I watch some of the actors, and actresses, I sometimes think, do you, would you, talk and behave like that in real life? Some of them need to tone it down.

Re: Corrie

I'm not sure I like this storyline with Hayley and Roy - I can't help wondering about people who have recently received the same kind of diagnosis, how must they feel. Will it make them think there is no hope and just give up? Will they worry when they see Hayley and think 'that's how I'll end up'?

I find it all thoroughly depressing and have started to tune out now when those scenes come on (mind you, I do that when I see Leanne and Nick, Kylie and David, Liz and anyone else).

Re: Corrie

It is most probably a controversial storyline, but I'm sure Corrie crew have researched it all sensitively.

Re: Corrie

I'm getting thoroughly bored with the Leanne and Nick storyline.

Re: Corrie

Too right Stella, same here. I've been fed up with them for a while now.


BV The same thoughts have passed through my mind about Hayley's decline, mainly because of Mum's cancer.
I know people can't not talk about it, but the detail they are going into looms very ominous to me. Hayley's ill looking make-up particularly strikes a chord because Mums colouring and skin and changed so much too.
I, too, have started to not watch some bits as Hayley worsens. I will deal with things as they come along, but I don't want to watch on telly as well.

Re: Corrie

I just wish they would bring Norris and Mary (annoying as she may be) back - at least there was a little humour in their lives. Everything is so depressing with all the story lines at the moment - nothing at all to have a laugh about. Like others - I skip over the Hayley decline.

Re: Corrie

I'm in two minds about this. I think it IS very hard for those who have similar situations in life, but I also think it is portraying something which is often rather a taboo to talk about, and I think it is portraying it very sensitively. But it probably makes a difference that I have seen many people in this position. If I hadn't, and I were in your situation, Mups, I guess I too might switch it off.
Lots of hugs to you, Mups.
