Yes, after her near death hypo (which she recovered from in half and hour) she was in the cafe ordering a cake. I know this isn't Casualty or Holby but you would still expect some level of medical accuracy for such a serious subject. I don't understand why they bother taking such care to get the details right with Ashleys storyline yet they are so dodgy with Kerry's diabetes which only ever surfaces as a plot device,
Only had one hypo and I did recover quickly without even a doctor, didn't head for a cake later mind I had learned my lesson don't eat cereal for breakfast stick to eggs no matter how bored you are with them. |

Seems quite realistic to me my mum was type two and completely on a suicide mission it felt, medication for her meant she could carry on as normal instead of addressing her diet. It's why I refuse medication I prefer to manage mine by diet so I am not tempted to think like she did.

I think Kerry really doesn't like herself and just doesn't value her health enough. Ironically that might change a bit if she felt healthier. I wish ED would stop portraying her and her problems as ' funny.' |

I'd say they'll get back together eventually, but it's already been revealed that Cain will start seeing someone new who you "wouldn't expect". I thought initially it would be Chrissie but after their scene in Friday's episode I'd say it'll be Bex.

Yes because god forbid anyone ever uses a condom in a soap.
And Cain deserves to die alone. |

I think some people rely too heavily on medication and expect it to work wonders on its own. As far as I' m concerned it plays an important part, but there should be a holistic approach to all health conditions, so if changing your diet, socialising, getting exercise or whatever helps them those are things you should try to do, not just rely on the pills which are often only part of the answer.

Yes both Kerry and Dan suffer in that way, it's sad to see them both so self loathing, when Kerry is on good form she's a nice mum and nan. Dan is a very decent man. Yet neither of them see that in themselves.

We seem to be in the minority, but I hope they get back together. They have great chemistry - unlike most of the current ED couples.
There were lots of problems and bad decisions, but Moira caused most of the problems in their marriage. Cain always seemed to be trying to protect her: he may have done that the wrong way but, with his family history, that isn't surprising. Now she keeps rejecting him but is still devastated when he leaves her alone. Come on, Moira - wake up.

A colleague of mine told me that people from the East, when they come to Britain they can't understand why we don't like ourselves! It's s very true - we've got guilt and self loathing built in to our culture and then when you add childhood abuse and neglect (we know about Cain and I wouldn't be surprised to hear Kerry has an equally bad story, if not worse) - heck it's s a wonder there aren't more murders! |

Just been reading an interview with Jeff Hordley, who says, about his relationship with Moira - '' The way the writers are playing it, it's the end and I'm gutted'' . He went on to say he loved working with Natalie [Moira] and thought they had made a good couple.
So sadly, it sounds as if it's over. I enjoyed them together - especially the difference it made to Cain's character. IMO they complimented each other. |

Iv agree, and actually I think self loathing is a big part of Cain's problems as well, though he deals with it differently!. I think Kerry and Cain are more alike than they realise

I said on another thread recently that I think it's Kerry and I still think this. He hates her so much and he definitely wouldn't be expected to be with her.
I don't think I could watch Kerryman and Cain together. I know they said it would be a woman you wouldn't expect, but I think him pursuing Kerry would be stretching believability slightly.My money's deff on Rebecca and if not her then Chrissie. I'd sort of like it to be Chrissie as part of her revenge against Lachlan for scamming her. I can almost imagine the look of horror on his face if Chrissie introduced Cain as his new step daddy. |

They did, it's first believable coupling since his dalliance with the police lady, sorry her name escapes me at the moment. ![]() I do think however that both Cain and Kerry need to do something about their issues. Both need professional help if you ask me! Otherwise they' re just going to keep harming other people, especially Kyle. He can't t keep taking out his pain on others. To me I think you've got a duty to be as good a person as you can be, so you have to try to deal with these kinds of problems. I hope both characters try to tackle their issues. |

Me too! For all the characters. I much prefer the friendship and family relationships than the eternal round of love triangles! More Moira/Diane and Cain/ Chas rather than Cain/ Moira if they can't t get their bl&ddy act together. I find Vanessa irritating but Moira and Rhona or Laurel could be mates, and Moira used to be quite friendly with Chas too. I could see them all having things in common! Or maybe she could become friendly with Vic?

I so agree with this. I have major self esteem issues and mental health problems, a lot of which is related to my upbringing. I struggled for years then finally sought professional help as I knew I couldn't go on the way I was. I know you're in a similar position and I think that's partly why we recognise it in Cain and Kerry.
I think I must make my poor Dad ( and he had it worse than me too)sound awful, when he's actually a very nice person, he just has problems, but he tried his bestI think though that women internalise it, whereas lads who are brought up with that level of violence tend to become quite violent themselves. It just perpetuates itself, unless so done can break that cycle. |
