She was only pretending!
I must admit I muted it, JBR.
Someone dying in a film can be emotional enough, but I don’t want to see her decline over and over again, several times a week. It’s a bit like watching a death in slow motion.
As I said earlier in this thread, for those who have experienced a close family death like that, it must bring it all back. I know I don’t want to keep re-living what happened to my dear Mum.
And what about those poor souls who have cancer now?
How do they feel watching the decline of Sinead week after week?
I was out this evening so I haven’t seen tonight’s episode yet. Not sure if I want to watch it tomorrow or not now 
I agree with what others have said, it can’t be nice for people going through similar suffering to watch 
It is recorded so boredom can be instigated at our designation.
I’ll be making sure I’m out tomorrow, or trapped in the bathroom.
I agree with you Mups, the programme makers don’t appear to consider this when they use death from cancer (or any other illness in fact) as a form of entertainment, which is what these soaps are supposed to be! I had to turn off the TV because it was too difficult to watch.
Hi
A scene from an upcoming episode has been filmed locally in Shrews bury.
Shrewsbury? Shrewsbury isn’t in Lancashire!
I know what you mean Margaret, Mrs Fox had to leave the room while it was on, she found it too distressing after losing her mum and several of her family members to cancer…
Hi
I know, but they still filmed it, needed the location.
Going back to the comments about death.
Mum was an extra, it was weird watching her die in a scene from No Angels.
She had fake blood shooting out of her mouth and they had to do the take several times.
She said it tasted horrible.
Have you a better link please Swim?
That seems to show a choice of 10 episodes unless I’m looking at the wrong thing?
I think it would have had more impact if they hadn’t dragged it out for so long.
Maybe you’re right, JBR. On the other hand, the very nature of the disease had to progress rather than be an instant death I suppose.
I am far from unfeeling, but I have not enjoyed these last few weeks at all.
Next we will have the funeral, probably followed by weeks of Daniel weeping and wailing.
As MargaretF said earlier, dying from cancer is not entertainment.
Looking on the bright side, at least we’ve had a break from poofs kissing each other!
That is very true - though you might be in trouble for calling them that.
Amen to that!!
I agree but it’s a fact of life for some. I think the scriptwriters try to incorporate true to life storylines with sensitivity.
I remember when Roy Croppers partner Hayley died of pancreatic cancer they acted their lives out and it was very moving.
I think the actors playing Sinead and Daniel have acted very well and deserve an award.
It’s not really dissimilar to the program Casualty, that too covers illness true to life.
Hi
Sorry, no Mups, it was a long time ago.
I fully accept what you say here Lion Queen, however, I watched my beloved, younger sister die a lingering death from cancer in 2007 and my best friend die from it in January this year so I prefer not to watch actors ‘dying’ from it in an entertainment programme. I never, ever watch hospital based programmes whether factual ones or fiction like Casualty because I find them hard to bear.
You won’t be surprised to learn that Tracy Barlow will be next on the poof wagon train. I really really must wean myself off this dross.
