Anyone know what's happening in Corrie in December? There's all this talk of EastEnders and I'm sick of hearing about Nana dying, so someone give me some Corrie info! Please.

If true I find it sickening.... How many babies will they kill off? WHEN will this end? Shannon Tattershall or whatever, died in the early 2000s, then Jake Webster in 2002 (I think), then Billy Platt and now Baby Alahan.

Disgusting.

So you think murders and rapes and other people dying are fine?

:yawn: :yawn: :sleep: :yawn: :yawn: Killing off babies in mass quantities is quite wrong IMO... How many babies have died on EastEnders and Emmerdale?

Thought so. :yawn: Rapes and murders are not as frequent and happen to a wide range of people, not BABIES. The writers shouldn't just pregnate women with no intention of having the babies live any length of time. Why couldn't they have done something original, like an ADOPTION storyline.

I was questioning why noone shrieks when someone gets murdered, stabbed, abused, etc., but a baby dying in a fictional entertaining programme has some people up in arms...

I think the reason that Soap babies die so often is because its hard to fit them into the storylines, look at poor Bethany Platt for example, just pushed to one side. Its quite unrealistic.

Pregnancy storlyines are always big and interesting but when the baby comes its difficult to do stories about them, because the characters "life is on hold" or whatever sad really. (But of course in a soap opera there's a cresche that never closes and an endless list of babysitters always at hand to help out, so unrealistic)

By the way, does anyone know are Sarah and Jason going to be a permanent onscreen couple?

I hope not. But then, maybe they should; they deserve each other.

Oh thank god someone else! I thought I was the only one who felt that way!
It wouldn't be so bad but the acting is VOMIT INDUCING and if we've to sit through another Gail/Eileen rant I'll just switch off!!

Ermm, well I did say they were rumours. Maybe you didn't read that. Scroll up to the first few words in my original post on this thread. Maybe Cilla blows up the chip shop a week before Christmas, before on Xmas Eve they go out as Santa's and then get arrested. I don't know. I don't - in all honesty - care, either. It sounds pathetic and farcical. :sleep:

Well if you think its okay for more babies to die in Corrie than be born then good for you. :sleep: Maybe thats slightly off but Im going to find evidence

Out of a total of 14 births in the last 10 years:

1995 - Denise Osbourne gives birth to twins. ONE DIED.
1997 - Shannon Tattersall. DIED.
2000 - Jake Webster. DIED.
2004 - Billy Platt. DIED.

2005 - Baby Alahan ...???


So four out of fourteen died. 29% of babies born in the last 10 years died. Appalling.

PS in 1992 - Liz McDonald's baby Katherine also died

Can someone find a record of child mortality in Emmerdale and EastEnders? kthx
