Michelle McDonalds missing sons Corrie

Has Michelle forgotten that she has a son, in fact due to Corrie's bad years she actually has two.

Will she ever remember about Ryan and Alex????

The son mix up no longer happened (Genuinely think they want this to be the case in viewers minds), And the other one is out of sight out of mind as anyone who leaves the street is

The whole thing with Alex was such an awfiul mistake they really do want it airbrushed from memory I believe!!
Similarly, NuRyan was such a complete & utter retcon of the original version that bore no character resemblance at all & treated his Mum in a way the original Ryan wouldn't have dreamed of doing, that i think the ptb again realisd they'd made a dreadful mistake & shelved that character as well, leaving the current peculiar state of limbo where neither Alex nor Ryan is ever mentioned!!
At some point we need an adult Ryan to appear again, but one who at least could realistically be a follow on from the original, even if he has retained some of the 'bad boy' traits from mark 2 Ryan as well!!
Alex is best left in the buried archives & never mentioned again imo, unless it's as part of a s/l explaining why Ryan went off he rails the way he did!!

The Alex storyline has been completely retconned and airbrushed away so I'd be surprised if it was ever referenced again (perhaps rightly so as it was a dreadful storyline). Ryan is mentioned from time to time but they don't seem very close. The second Ryan was dreadful too and I'd equally be happy to never see him return.

It's so clear that they want to pretend the Alex thing never happened.

Even when Ryan came back, it never being mentioned once made it the elephant in the room. All those arguments Michelle and Ryan had, the insults they threw at each other and not once did one of them, most likely Ryan, reference tbat she had no rights over him as she wasn't even his Mum and she showed how little she cared when she wanted to get to know her 'real' son before.

Didn't Michelle even say something about having giving birth to him during an argument about his drug taking? Or have i imagined that?

Something else i think they might be forgetting in upcoming storylines is that a couple of years ago Michelle was adamant that she didn't want any more children, to the extent that she tried to bully Steve into having the snip.

I like how this starts off with her debut, and then skips to circa 2012. Says all you need to know about the 'baby swap' storyline.

Steve Frost was in charge when this storyline started and ended. Four producers have followed on since then, and it is clear the story has been retconned and none of his successors are interested. Of course that depends if Kate Oates wants to revisit it, which I highly doubt. What would be the point? If Michelle suddenly started mentioning Alex after all these years it would just be laughed at.

Although even if Alex still exists Ryan will always be Michelle's son. He is the one who grew up with the Connors after all.

Alex, Who the f**k is Alex? It's clear they want to forget that SL

Ryan's last stint on the show was painful, the odd mention of him in conversation will do thanks.

Ahh, the perfect Michelle Conner bob at the very start of that clip

It's strange how they never have even mention them, I wonder with the upcoming story if they'll get a mention.

When Michelle goes into hospital to have the new baby, she might tell the staff to make sure she's not given the wrong one this time.
