Corrie - Janice vs Rosie

I thought the scene with Janice shouting at Rosie because of her false accusations was a great scene to add.

I have a friend who went through a situation with an attacker where she was treated like a liar from the start because of girls like Rosie lying about being attacked. The police and courts do it to most women these days and it's almost always the victims get treated like the criminals!!

I thought not only was it true to the character but it made such a true point about todays society.

Well Done Corrie for highlighting it although really Rosie should have been done for wasting police time!!

    I think they missed a great opportunity. Yes, Janice shouted her down and put her in her place but it's a great shame it wasn't front of more people and she should definitely have been prosecuted for wasting police time and whatever else they could have chucked at her. It was a serious allegation and if her lies hadn't been found out Stape could have been locked up again (though I'm sure there are some who would have welcomed that :D).

    It's high time this character was brought down a peg or two IMO and the OP had a point about letting other women down.

    I don't like what they're doing with Rosie. It'd be nice to restore some of that ol' humanity in the character. It's not workable to have someone so unlikable in the show. Although then again they've managed with Sean for five years.

    I think she was being so hard on her because Toyah got raped didn't she? I think that was a good use of continuity there too.

    Yep. But on the other hand, when Rosie had been abducted, Janice was the only one who knew she hadn't just run off with the lottery money. She knew something was amiss and chose to keep her mouth shut.

    So are the police and defence supposed to assume the guilt of the accused then, without any challenge?

    Let's not forget that the accuser is entitled to anonymity, but the accused is not.

    The rights of both parties should be respected equally....

    Mind you, once found guilty, slap the crap out of them!

    What always gets me about Rosie is that her parents forget about the things that she has done within 5 mins. Sally did not seem all that angry with Rosie to me.

    It was a good scene.

    I think it came from Janice because of Toyah's rape.
