I'm no fan of Michelle, but the the nasty way Amy spoke to her, interrogating her about the abortion thing was out of order.
Why did she take that from the horrible brat?

I thought abortion was the mother's right to choose, not the prospective sibling
soaps always make teens act like bratty adults and the grown ups backdown, Amy is 12, she's a kid, she needs to learn some respect of her elders |

Can anyone think of anything nice to say about Michelle, she is really getting pelters on here ( and rightly so).
One of the biggest SOR's would be someone having a positive comment about her |

Also as it's not associated with the X or Y chromosomes, (i.e. not gender specific) Andy does need to get tested - he could have inherited it while Steve did not. It's a 50/50 chance with an existing dominant condition.
Although I expect now that Kim Marsh had had a chance to demonstrate her 'acting' skills of wailing and moaning, which turned out to be a waste of time if only she'd waited until the afternoon for the result, it will all be forgotten and it will never been mentioned to poor Andy. |

Ridiculous. This is one thing CS actually got right for a change. Of course a 12 year old will have a view (and be very upset) if someone is thinking of killing her unborn sister or brother.

She may want a brother or sister( not sure why the spoilt brat would be so desperate, never mind!) but her stinking , bullying attitude toward Michelle was really out of order.

OK, if that as your point, fair enough. I must admit these days I tend to fast forward Michelle scenes, so didn't see the extent of the brat's bullying. However, I thought it was against the law to be nasty to Michelle, hence my confusion.
![]() sure Amy can have an opinion but her lack of respect to her step mum is wrong and it annoys me when they have to write children to behave that way because in the real world most of them dont |

Because Corrie have fallen into the crap trap of "telling" as opposed to "showing". Kym Marsh is a poor performer, a total one-note "actress" (I use the quotes as she was only hired for who she was, she clearly hasn't had any training) who might as well be made of teak for all the emotion she can display. The producers and scriptwriters for some unknown reason want Michelle to be a Corrie woman of old, a strong female character with a heart of gold but she can't act well enough to portray this so their solution is to get others characters to constantly tell us how marvelous she is.

Amy might have been out of order for the way she behaved towards Michelle but then Michelle hardly sets a good example. For years Amy has seen Michelle ridiculing, bullying and bossing her father about. It's unbelievable that Amy would think so much of Michelle.
Also after the Amy and Michelle scenes, Michelle went storming into the bistro kitchen to have a go at Robert on full throttle. Corrie women like Anna, Eileen, Michelle etc. shout and scream and go completely and utterly OTT. Amy has been written in the same way because that's the way Corrie women are.

Was the bistro shut? And if so how did she even get in to the restaurant at all? |

And she can't act well enough to change my view of her, so every time a character randomly praises this marvel of a woman, my reaction is to snort in disbelief. . |

I think the discrepancy between what characters keep telling the viewer about Michelle and what she shows about herself by her actions and words is very striking. She's wonderfully strong, exceptionally beautiful - Will's fiancée referred to 'that face' as if Michelle was the Corrie equivalent of Helen of Troy - and yes, there's the heart of gold too. But what viewers are shown is an ordinary woman, OK for her age, over made-up, bossy, sometimes nasty, and very self-absorbed. I don't think I can get over the sneering she and Liz did about Steve's History course, and the way she dragged him down the street by his ear, as if he were a naughty boy in a 50s Beano comic strip.

Just catching up.
Amy's acting when she was kicking the post box was AWFUL!!! And now I'm into the 2nd half and it seems its the Michelle Connor Show! And how did Nick know what was in the letter for Leanne? It was sealed! And the Oscar for dramatic crying without ANY tears goes to Caz (although Ken is a close second with his facial expressions....is it rude of me to laugh when he tries to speak? At one point I thought his head was gonna swivel round like the Exorcist!) And still about Caz, wouldn't Tryone know Maria better than Caz and know that Maria wouldn't be ringing Caz all hours of the day...its out of character for her. And finally, would Steve really tell his test results to his mother in the middle of the pub??? ![]() But what really amazed me was when Gayle apologized to Gary about Anna and Gary shrugged it off and said it was accident. An accident? David having containers of petrol in his car that he sploshed around inside the car, and now Gary is getting together with Sarah

They all broke out the "second cheapest sparkling" in celebration but have they checked that Andy is OK? Have they forgotten that Jim has still got the condition (so he does) and is going to need a lot of looking after (so he is).
But I guess as long as her Royal Sigh-ness saint Michelle's baby is OK ![]() Oh and can someone tell Caz to shut her mouth please. |
