Go GAIL
Brilliant scene .

Very powerful scene. Just shows that suicide not only effects the immediate family but shakes a community to the very core. Even people that dont know the deceased all that well.

Bloody hell. Need a drink after that. Not tea either. It was one if the best episodes of any soaps I have ever viewed. !

Haven't seen episodes that intense since Kylie died. In fact these are even more so. Heartbreaking stuff.

David will kick the young one out and move Shona back in, how has Carla not cried one single tear? When Carla came out of the bathroom after seeing Aiden and Johnny obviously in bits probably leaning over his son she did a little wobble, I thought a tear or a throwing up would have made it more real

Indeed. Supposedly in Aidan's case, and in many others, he believed that people would be better off without him, but in my case when attempting suicide (and of course same with many others here too), I was very aware of how hard it was going to hit everyone. I still couldn't see any other way through at the time, and couldn't bear how bad I felt, so suicide seemed the only way.

Knowing how hard it was going to be for everyone afterwards (while still being aware that I couldn't quite comprehend that side unless I'd been there), I felt like one of the worst people in the world for that (but again, I couldn't see any other option at the time).

I am so far the opposite of feeling like this now, and almost always so glad to be here, and that people didn't go through that. Death is awful regardless, but suicide even more so, it's hard for anyone who knows the person not to be affected in some way.

I bitched and moaned about Kate Oates ruining the show but my god her and everyone else can take a huge bow about tonight's episode(s), I am in bits, the actors playing David, Johnny, Gail, Jenny, Daniel and Roy blew me away and some did not have many lines, their expressions said it all, very heartbreaking but powerful and I hope it helps anyone in a dark place to think and talk

I kinda agree, but I think part of the idea was to show the range of different reactions. I'd imagine she was in pure shock, some people won't cry at all at death, in the beginning anyhow, but yeah it would have made it all the more real I'd say.

That was so hard to watch. I'm still in bits, Gail's speech just tipped me over the edge, it was so wonderfully done.

Redduvet, I'm so glad life is better for you now. X

How can Kate be calling Aidan selfish? Yeah cos she's not selfish breaking up a marriage for an affair at all! Totally selfless act!

So many people think suicide is selfish. In my experience, probably most often people who haven't felt as bad as contemplating suicide. Thus losing sight of how desperate the person feels, and rather believing that the person who had died 'chose' to put them through that.

Thanks

I now work in suicide prevention and community support work - pleased to have made something good come out of my experiences, and hoping that I can continue making good in other people's lives as a result.

Well to be fair i think we'd all have that natural reaction where we have to deal with a sudden shock like that involving a loved one. Its a terrible shock to get too.

Must give Corrie huge credit here. It has by and large turned into a cartoony mess in recent years, but tonight they nailed it.

Darkness Into Light Walk this weekend for anybody interested.

I'm doing it with my friend whose brother took his own life a few months ago. We always do it but never guessed that one day we would be doing it in memory of someone so close.

I've loved Shane Ward in Corrie and met him once, he's even better looking in the flesh. Only yesterday I was commenting about his superb performance on Monday night, little did I suspect that suicide would come knocking within my husband's family last night.

I loved the fact that it was Gail who did that scene instead of Ken..........first time ever she made me cry - and I’m watching Corrie as long as she’s been in it!!!
Johnny had myself and my daughter sobbing hard in fact I’m cryin again thinkin of him especially as his boy was being taken to the morgue & I actually liked Carla tonight!
I just wanted to hug poor Eva til morning and throw Toyah down the stairs - she sent me to a new level of angry tonight.
Maria was just the pits of pits

Greybottle

Great stuff indeed, glad it was Gail too,

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Superbly done episode tonight from start to finish - seeing the varied and different reaction from everyone was incredibly powerful and ending on David saying he wanted to live was very poignant.
