I must admit I muted it, JBR.
Someone dying in a film can be emotional enough, but I don't want to see her decline over and over again, several times a week. It's a bit like watching a death in slow motion.

As I said earlier in this thread, for those who have experienced a close family death like that, it must bring it all back. I know I don't want to keep re-living what happened to my dear Mum.
And what about those poor souls who have cancer now?
How do they feel watching the decline of Sinead week after week?

I was out this evening so I haven't seen tonight's episode yet. Not sure if I want to watch it tomorrow or not now

I agree with what others have said, it can't be nice for people going through similar suffering to watch

It is recorded so boredom can be instigated at our designation.

I'll be making sure I'm out tomorrow, or trapped in the bathroom.

I agree with you Mups, the programme makers don't appear to consider this when they use death from cancer (or any other illness in fact) as a form of entertainment, which is what these soaps are supposed to be! I had to turn off the TV because it was too difficult to watch.

Hi

I know, but they still filmed it, needed the location.

Going back to the comments about death.

Mum was an extra, it was weird watching her die in a scene from No Angels.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389664/

She had fake blood shooting out of her mouth and they had to do the take several times.

She said it tasted horrible.
