Re: Corrie
It broke my heart tonight to see Roy having to carry Hayley back to bed.
I say this with sadness, but we wouldn't allow a beloved pet to suffer so they are euthanised to put them out of their misery and yet, as humans, we allow our own kind to suffer excrutiating pain, knowing that they're dying in pain and nothing can be done for them except to keep them dosed up on morphine, until they die anyway. That's just not right on so many levels.
There's no right or wrong, but this very sad situation was shown in Holby City a few years ago, when a surgeon reluctantly took his wife to Switzerland because she wanted to end her own misery, legally. It was very traumatic to watch. Not for her, as it's what she wanted, but for him.
Julie Hesmondhalgh has purposely lost weight in order to give credence to her character and yes, I think the writers and producers are portraying this with dignity and sensitivity, as are the other characters involved.
