Well I remember it, though longer than 20 years ago for me - baby under the arm, shopping, and buggy to fold. What fun. You weren't allowed to take a pushchair on a bus unless it was folded, but these days there are some monster pushchairs around, positively huge.
Anyway, we're well off topic, so to bring it back: With reference to what ewoodie wrote earlier about Leanne and Nick - I thought it was very silly that we are now expected to believe that they are 'in love' with one another. What happened to Nick's undying love for Carla? And why are they employing the tiresome soap cliché of a secret being kept for no reason other than plot complications yet again? Being pregnant is not a secret that can be kept very long! And her spurious reasons for divorcing him...his mood swings following his head injury Thehve gone away have they all of a sudden? |

Coronation Street is not a safe place for pregnant women. The miscarriage / mortality rate must be lowest in the country.
As a matter of interest, how many pregnancies over the past 10 years of Corrie have actually produced a child who is still around and how many didn't? Still on street Ruby Lily Hope Liam Harry Not on street Erica x 1 Tracy x 2 Carla x 1 Maria x 1 Becky x 2? Leanne x 1 Faye x 1 Any more to add? |

Twenty years or more ago younger people were happy to give up their seats for older people, for ladies, for mums and especially for disabled people.....................
I'm only 73. If I do have to sit in an "old person" seat, I stand up if an old person, or someone with walking difficulty, gets on. |

It's such a total SOR that Leanne gets pregnant from a one night stand with Steve, then Michelle at the age of 40, get's pregnant within the first week of trying !
I may be wrong , but I just can't see both pregnancies going ahead, something will happen, possibly to Michelle, as I can't imagine her with a baby, somehow. The very thought of watching Steve gurning, biting his lip and chewing his fingers for months on end is downright annoying

I wonder if MissHell will lose her baby, and Leanne will deliver a healthy baby but end up giving it to MissHell for some reason.
Sounds daft but Cs has been daft for a long time now. |

Leanne is x2. She got pregnant when she married Nick in Gretna Green the first time in 1998 when she got pregnant and Nick persuaded her to have an abortion. She had a miscarriage in 2011. Think Peter was the father.
Thanks. There's also Karen who I think is a x 2. I was trying to keep it within a timescale or else we'd be going back 60 years! The percentage for kids who actually made it is very low. A vast number were involved in miscarriage, stillbirth or just shipped off somewhere like Miley. I just wonder if the babies will survive the latest round of Corrie pregnancies. And TBH I can't see how Steve and Michelle's relationship can survive him getting another woman pregnant. |

Sounds daft but Cs has been daft for a long time now. And growing up, I'm sure people will never stop telling the kid. |

Watching Friday's ...
this producer really is a fan of the anguished stare into the distance ,,, just about every scene ends that way. |

Perhaps the lengthy process of a normal birth doesn't make good TV in a drama. |

Can't see if it's been mentioned, but when Leanne told Eva she was moving to Liverpool and could she find a flatmate, Eva was momentarily upset but then elated it meant Aidan could move in with her. How come she didn't mention or allude to her niece or nephew or even comment that Leanne would be able to do the new job for six months at best (and not be eligible for maternity pay)? It was so totally unrealistic. And whyexactly isn't she telling Nick about the baby - I mean it would be obvious before long - surely given she wants nothing to do with Steve she should have confided in Nick and said nothing to Steve? It's all so messy.

Sounds daft but Cs has been daft for a long time now. But then again if Michelle stamps her feet and folds her arms in a sulk long enough she is bound to get what she wants eventually. |

I can't see Leanne giving away her baby. She said to someone (it may have been Eva) that she really wants this baby. Also after being told that she may not be able to have children after her miscarriage years ago I can't see why she would just hand the baby over to someone else when it would be her first biological child.
But then again if Michelle stamps her feet and folds her arms in a sulk long enough she is bound to get what she wants eventually. |

It really confused me but I don't think Michelle or Maria would be silly enough to confused the two. |

I think it was a way for Leanne to discover that Liz knew about the pregnancy.

So why do I feel hurt when a young person (and in two cases women about 40) stand up and offer me their seats? I decline gracefully, though.
I'm only 73. If I do have to sit in an "old person" seat, I stand up if an old person, or someone with walking difficulty, gets on. ![]() I know you said you declined gracefully, so that should be fine, but I would hate to think anybody might inadvertently make a kind hearted person feel foolish and rejected by declining their offer and therefore less likely to make the same offer to anyone else in the future. |

I think Izzy had a miscarriage before she went down the surrogacy route
![]() ![]() So that's 15. With 5 still around/surviving. 33% street survival rate! Isn't that rather low? It's far higher than this list by the World Health Organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...mortality_rate Leanne and Michelle should scarper. I've found the use of pregnancies in Corrie to hype up a SL, then a miscarriage etc., very annoying and callous. |

I think you're giving them both (or their scriptwriters) far to much credit there.
What with baby-switching, a banana skin, a set of stairs, and/or any number of other unfortunate events that are still a twinkle in a scriptwriter's eye, it don't bode well for the poor mite... |
