Im Loving the storyline at the moment, i think it's great and Fiona as well as the rest of the cast are doing it justice.
It's handled with care and they haven't dragged it out before people have started noticing ect ect!

I hope she gets the help she needs
About time a decent Sharma had a storyline (that doesn't include Charity as she'll always be a Dingle to me ;-))
I Actually hated Priya end of last year, and when she was with David but Fiona is a great actress and she's doing a great job, and i agree i am now feeling sorry for her.
I don't like Priya at all but do feel bad for her during this its hard work to have.
In a way, this happened to me. I felt so horrible (nauseous rather than sick) when carryig my daughter that I developed a real aversion to food. I've had times before when I stopped eating, and just drifted into it. But it was impossible to hide - at every midwife checkup, the routine tests showed that wasn't eating. I think it's more common than people realise - my midwife wouldn't let it go, but said it wasn't unusual for pregnant women to stop eating. (It shows up when you get ketones in your urine.) I was told I'd have to be monitored in hospitals unless things improved - a great motivator!
Fiona Wade is finally getting a chance to show how good she is. I really wanted to hug her when she was having to force herself to eat.
They did have the scene with the GP, who obviously realised that there was more to it. It would be interesting to see her at scans and check ups - just how much they're picking up on the problem. I would imagine she's very good at finding excuses for the things that will be going wrong, and convincing herself everything's ok.
I think its terribly sad for her that its taken someone she has only known for a few weeks to see her plight, when her family are so wrapped up in themselves they have barely noticed, although she is somewhat of an expert in hiding it.
I'm confused though where she is getting all the energy from to keep going the same as usual, even running as without food at all and the baby taking as much nutrition from her as it can get, which cant be much,I'd have thought that by now she would have been totally wrecked,and with barely the energy to move, but she certainly still looks as fit and healthy as she ever did.
I didnt know she was 34 until I saw her interview on Lorraine the other day, I would have thought she was somewhere in her late 20's.
I heard that a few days ago and still can't believe it. She looks so much younger
Georgia is infuriating with her "oh I was the same, hardly showed" attitude when she knows her daughter has had an episode of anorexia in the past. Crazy woman! Her antennae should be twitching by now FGS. Strange that she's usually quite full on and in her kids faces telling them what she thinks yet if you're right she's burying her head in the sand with this one.
Up until the other day when she was trying to coax herself into eating I had been a bit 'meh' about the storyline not particularly liking Priya but that scene changed my mind altogether. I felt her pain and frustration. It was an excellent scene that showed what a battle it can be for some folk just to eat, a basic necessity most of us do without thinking.
(I probably found it hard to empathise as I have the opposite problem, can't stop stuffing my face and have to exert an iron will at times or I'd be the size of a gable end )
I agree, Priya has improved 100% since she split with David. I've now come to the conclusion that David should stay single as every female he's with tends to become dull when they're paired with him. Lately I've found that I'm not enjoying Alicia's scenes as much as I used to.
Re Priya, I'm not saying that the 'pampered Princess/Because I'm worth it' stuff isn't part of her personality (and she genuinely buys into it at times) but how much of it is masking a myriad of insecurities? She's beautiful and how many women would want to look like her yet she thinks she's nothing? Wow.
Good theory re Nikhil. You could be spot on there as he as over-exercising, obsessing about his food etc wasn't he? Didn't Georgia say when she got back this week though that he's loosened up now and isn't so obsessed about these things? Looks like Canada has had a good affect of him!
LOL...It's amazing what makeup can do for any woman..but she is very attractive with a gorgeous figure..which helps...
Good point
She was in Grange Hill in the mid 90s
