I think the issue Charleygirl5 is that eccles cakes contain raisins and they can put a dog into kidney failure very quickly. Remember she had sat up all night with him before he got to the vet. I think it is a good bit of publicity make dog owners aware, though, painful as it was to watch.
I don't think that they are suggesting Death By Eccles Cake, though. Roy is worried that he had left one unmopped because of his SM addiction, and Evelyn is looking for someone to blame. Cerberus died of old age, I think - a lot of dogs get kidney problems at the end. I'm sure the vet will put them straight.
Stephen is apparently going to drown somebody this week. He appears to be able to get away with murder so easily. The other two bodies were never found.
Cerebus eating a cake a couple of days before he was euthanased would not have caused his long term kidney failure- the writers should get their facts straight first.
Gave up on Corrie six months ago after wstching it from the very start.The storylines were becoming more silly and stupid.I then started watching Classic Corrie. What a difference amusing characters ,funny storylines and proper acting.Timeline is approximately 20 years ago.
After watching Corrie and Emmerdale for as long as I can remember, I gave up on both a few months ago. Too much negativity. I feel quite liberated now I’m not wasting my time on these soaps!😂
I don’t hold out much hope for the longevity of Sarah and Adam’s marriage really.
It doesn’t seem to take much for her eye to wander.
She and Damon were definitely flirting.
As for daft Paul to keep doling out money to Gemma, is it for gas bills (which with all those children she could surely get extra support somehow) or to pay for a silly wedding?
I don’t know how I’ve missed this thread. As an avid corrie-watcher I so agree with many of these comments. There are too many horrible storylines going on just now and not enough light hearted things. Corrie used to seem to have the right balance but now it’s all about shocking the audience and trying to score points over the other soaps. I never did take to Eastenders with all its doom and gloom and stopped watching not long after I started it! The Stephen storyline is frustrating, and he’s sooo annoying. Will we really have to wait till Christmas to get rid of him? The Daisy stalking storyline is horrible. I hear there’s going to be an acid attack. The Aaron/Amy thing is so unlikely. Why did they do that to the Aaron character who seemed a nice lad. Now they’ve killed off poor Cerberus. How could they do that to Evelyn! What’s going to happen to Carla? The list is endless. Nobody has anything nice going on. When will they make us smile again?! Hurrumph, rant probably not over! 😂
Oh Cerberus! So sad and so well acted. Part of life for most of us. Over the years we've had many of these sad trips to the vet. Good for Corrie to recognise that and present it so well.
She was rather unfair to Roy though. Unless he was dog sitting, which I don’t think he was, then surely it was up to her to see where Cerberus was, and what he was eating.
Don’t like to think of dogs wandering round cafes anyhow.
Oh no! 'All year', as in until Christmas?? I don't think I could bear that. He's a hopeless actor and the storyline is ridiculous.
I also know the upcoming storyline (I had to google after reading Clawdy's post) and much depends on how it is handled. The trouble with 'social issue' stories is that if they are brushed aside or always end well (eg with liver transplants that don't need a lifetime of anti-rejection drugs) they can minimise the problem. Sometimes they have to have bad endings, and we don't know how bad this one is going to be (or the account I read didn't give that away).
Sadly I saw an interview with the actor who plays Stephen implying he was going to be in the show ALL YEAR (groan). Why doesn't the doctor ever do a blood test for Carla?
I saw a spoiler in a newspaper today revealing an upcoming storyline which is so horrible I'm not sure I can continue watching. Something very wrong with these writers.
