Admittedly I don't know a lot about Downes Syndrome however Craig from EE seemed to have a very mild form of it, to the extent that he was aware of his condition etc.

Anyone else think think that if they had had a character who had it worse than him, they could have 'Raised awareness' which is something they're quite famous for doing?

I would have liked to see Craig stay and develop his relationship with Michael, but that seems to be indefinitely on hold now as a consequence of the revenge plot outcome.

Perhaps in a few months' (well several months') time, he will return with Anthony and Tyler's sister Frankie, although I don't expect that will be received too well around here.

I think its highly likely that Tyler and Anthony will be axed.

I doubt we'll be seeing Craig again. I'm not fussed anyway. All of the new Moon's bore me senseless and this summer has been the worst on record for me. Its been the Moon show. :yawn:

I felt that Craig was just a token nod at Downs Syndrome rather than any real attempt to portray it properly and do it justice.

The revenge storyline was full of holes and didn't add up anyway. Its almost as if they made it up as they went along. Everything was disjointed.

While I wasn't exactly looking forward to yet another new Moon arriving in the Square, I liked Craig and am disappointed that EE didn't make more of an effort to incorporate him as, at least, a semi-regular character. I think he could have added a new facet to the show and would have given EE the opportunity to step outside of their box and explore something a little bit different...which is something the show desperately needs to do at the moment.

I do agree it could have been done much better. It seemed to leave more questions than it answered.
