Coronation Street

I think it's good that the soaps sometimes follow a serious storyline, like the present Corrie one, as it draws viewers attention to these issues.

Been there & done that, so it brought back memories of a time that I'm trying desperately hard to forget. However, I was fascinated (but not in a good way) watching it all unfold although I did feel that the acting was slightly wooden and over the top right at the end.

It still left me in tears. There will always be some very cruel people in the world.

I don't watch soaps but I saw a clip of the emotional abuse. It was very realistic but maybe it needs to be so that people realise that a lot of abuse isn't physical. I don't know if a soap is the best place for it but then a lot more people watch soaps then watch documentaries so maybe it is.

I f they were going to do the abuse storyline they had to do it right .It was horrifying,not just last night but the build up to it,the way she changed from being a feisty ,on top of everything person to having no self esteem and depending on him to tell her what to do.She didn't speak to anyone about the supposed drink problem because she believed what he said was true.
Sadly there are men like that out there ,one or two of them have been in our circle and we had no idea what the partners were subjected to at home.
Its something we felt we should have been aware of but the sly digs and talking their partners down were only seen as men who were a bit odd and maybe they felt their partners were better than them so had to try to make themselves feel good.
It took one woman almost being killed before we knew what was going on....she survived and made a new life ...he got away with it ...used his PTSD from his army days as an excuse. Many women dont survive
