Why don't Bethany tell her family and go to the police :mad:

Why didn't Bethany tell the Police what was going on? She didn't know Sarah was safe.

When did Calum slip her the drug?

He tipped it into her drink in the Rover's while she was getting him a drink.

I would guess he drugged her drink in the pub somehow


I know soap cops are useless but would they really believe Bethany's (a minor without an adult) statement about Callum

The Talking Bread

You got to hand it to Stuart Blackburn. He is a bigger con artist than john Lyndsay. How in God's name does he get away with this tripe!!

Lloyd sobered up very quickly he was leggless in the back of the Rovers when Bethany was in the car at the police station then Bethany arrives back on the street after giving her statement and Lloyd is outside on his phone not a bother on him talking about going for a kebab, he could barely stand earlier and had to be carried home

Worst time filler of a scene ever....

Where's Audrey?? With all the Platt drama she'd surely be around??

Also, there was a real opportunity to use Ken more when struggling with the grief after Deirdre - but nothing.

It is shockingly poor at the moment.

Wouldn't you think she would keep her drink behind the bar while working.

Not only would you think that, I can't think of a situation where a bar worker would leave their drink on the bar or allow it anywhere near other customers.

Also, it was quite a convoluted storyline. He takes a video of Sarah unconscious to get Bethany to make her statement. And then just leaves her go?

Calum isn't exactly Danny Ocean, but it was bizarre even for him.

Plus Sarah was lying on the couch,gets up to walk home but nobody goes with her.That doesnt make sense,Steve should have at least walked her home.

Aidan Connor is Michelle's cousin, so related by marriage to Carla as he is Paul's cousin too (Carla's dead husband)

As he is Michelles cousin and obviously has money to invest you'd have thought when they were having a meltdown thinking they were losing the pub she'd have asked him to buy into it. Or can she only divulge other people's financial problems and not her own.

Presumeably Lloyd and Liz are getting back together.

No I think it's going down the Lloyd and Erica route *sigh*

Again.

They should have begun the Hope story line more realistically. Like Fiz finding the lump herself, or Hope feeling unwell for a longer period. I have spent many hours in hospital A&Es and not once has a nurse approached me to tell me they were concerned that my child didnt look well...even when he had been shot in the eye with a pellet gun!!!

It takes alot for medical staff to come to you..

Yeah. Can a minor give a statement without parents present?

Also, weren't they in A&E and Fiz goes "So what happens next", and the Doctor tells them to go to the GP. Then they go to the GP and the GP says they want Hope to go to a Paediatrician, and Fizz gets all worried about that revelation, then the Paediatrician says she has the lump. Could the A&E doctor not have referred them to the Paediatrician?

Maybe this was a realistic bit of writing, and if so its no wonder the health service is in the mess it is. Both here and in the UK.

I wouldnt have thought so. Cops are smart though, they knew there was no way she was 15

Also, Fizz and Hope in and out of A&E in a couple of hours?

Pull the other one Blackburn!

In a world where ambulances take 3 hours to arrive in weatherfield, A&E is super efficient?
:rolleyes:

Edit:
Did Fizz go to A&E, the GP and the Paediatrician in the course of the double episode, which is meant to be a single day?

This is meant to be a soap, not a fantasy.

Under Irish law and I suspect English law a minor under the age of 18 can't give a statement to police without a responsible adult present. Bethany is a minor. Obvious plot hole.

She could have used the services of the duty solicitor, but I'd imagine that Sarahlou would still have to be informed.

And nobody ever gets an std in Corrie with all that bedhopping! In Emmerdale they have dealt well with that subject - Val's HIV positive
storyline, Diane's scare when she slept with Eric
and Laurel's fright when she played away one night. A bit more realistic!!

Val has just been killed. She died in a mirror maze when a helicopter crashed on it!! Echoes of the plot in Fair City when Neasa's boyfriend died when the mirror collapsed on him!!!

Emmerdale is the best soap its so under-rated

Shane Ward looks lovely in a suit and that was a great wink he gave to Sally/Sean.

I like Sarah's purple top.
