    Such a horrible attitude to have, He'd just have got beaten up himself. The two men were a lot bigger than him, they'd have both have just ended up unconscious and nobody around to call an ambulance..

    He would of been beaten to a pulp himself if he had helped Sharon. Best one person badly hurt than two.

    Last year I was having a pint in the local when I seen a guy with a stick who was outside having a smoke being accosted by a junkie. Like most normal people I ran out and chased the ratbag off. What's wrong with doing the right thing?

    Treble leave Johnny alone. He's a good hearted man who wanted to help Sharon but got entrapped in his own fear. He was shaken up and from my point of view he's done nothing wrong. All I was thinking was that he could really do with a big hug.

    I know he is very popular on here and the actor seems like a nice guy.

    I don't think he is a great actor though

    As much as I don't like what Johnny did (or didn't do), a lot of people would react the same way. Fear is a powerful thing.

    He should have called the police when he heard the sounds of breaking glass

    Some of the attitudes about this are rather scary.

    Fear is a very powerful thing.

    Don't be so horrible to Jonny.

    I think he needs one of my special cuddles.

    Easy to say hiding behind a computer screen. I'm not certain you would have reacted any difference.

    Just because Johnny didn't go and get his head kicked in it doesn't make him a coward. He got help for Sharon, that was the most important thing he could do for her. Johnny is clearly the innocent one in this, Phil is the one to blame.

    I'm sorry JoP but I have to disagree with you. Johnny was in a serious situation, he didn't know who those guys were, they were armed and were clearly dangerous. Johnny could have been on the slab next to Sharon, then would they both be.

    Can't believe I am saying this but I fully agree with you! :D

    Sharon's attack didn't look that bad? It only looked like she was shoved and she fell and hit her head. Unless they continued to beat her up after she was unconscious?

    I don't disagree with what he did but I don't get why he's reacting so crazy afterwards. Like the attack was quick its perfectly plausible that he'd be upstairs and by the time he got down they'd done a runner.

    That's fine to disagree, makes the world a beautiful and interesting place, and I honestly do understand where you're coming from but my own personal point of view in regards to a similar but different situation that arose in my life and tested the old fight or flight mode within us all: my fight mode kicked in. So while I understand that and what people say, part of me doesn't get it. Even Sharon who has been involved in a siege instinct kicked in to fight and she was in the thick of it.

    In the actual situation I imagine many people would do what Johnny did (or really, what he didn't do I should say)

    And you went with your instincts in that situation which is fine. It's not like you or Johnny had time to assess the situation, you just did instantly what you thought was right. The same goes for Johnny. Unless you've actually been in that situation, like you have, you will not know how you react. That doesn't make Johnny a coward though, he did the right thing for him. Johnny clearly wishes he did more for Sharon, that in my view makes him a good person. Not a coward. If Johnny hadn't given a damn about Sharon, then I would agree that he was acting cowardly.

    Why is Johnny so hard to spell correctly?

    I think after she fell, the scene switched to Johnny coweriug upstairs, while noises of the violence continued downstairs.

    For Sharon's spleen to be damaged she was probably kicked hard several times while she was lying on the floor.

    Doesn't Johnny keep his phone in his coat? He could have phoned for help surely? They were making so much noise they wouldn't have heard him..
