Corrie factory boss' drink driving shame - Pics added

Quote:

CORRIE vamp Carla Connor will be nabbed for drink driving - in a warning to motorists about the perils of alcohol this Christmas.

The sexy knicker factory boss, played by Alison King, 37, will be pulled over after downing champagne at the opening night of Nick Tilsley's new bar.

Carla fails the test and is hauled down to the police station. She is then fast-tracked through the courts and has her licence taken away.

Viewers will have seen Carla stay on the wagon after realising she was drinking too much and becoming an alcoholic.

But at the party she becomes depressed when she sees happy couples everywhere - and turns to the bubbly.

After her arrest, Carla is picked up by Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) then breaks down realising how a ban will affect her ability to run her business - which has only just recovered since ex Tony Gordon burned it down.

A Coronation Street insider told Tv Biz: "Carla's drink driving will be portrayed sensitively.

"But we hope the message of how easy it is to fall foul of the drink-drive laws, especially at that time of the year, will hit home to viewers.

"Last year we used Peter Barlow and his own problems as a warning about drink driving and this year we're using Carla.

"If we manage to stop even a handful of people from being tempted then we'll have done our job."

Poor Carla :(

Poor Carla?Drink driving is one rung up the ladder from Paedos and rapists.

It is bad, but its a small mistake and one that hits home very quickly, I wouldn't compare it to peadophilia or rape

It's not a mistake.It's selfish,pre meditated and easily preventable.
I didn't compare it,i said it's one rung up the ladder.

Poor thing:(, one thing after the other.

There's a far gap between the three, you don't get drunk then think "Oh I'll just go rape now!", drink driving is irresponsible and sometimes pre-meditated, other times, the driver doesn't realise they over the limit

It's always pre meditated.

I'm not sure I agree, but we can be sure on one thing - it is a very silly thing to do, and it's a good thing that Corrie will be highlighting what can happen if you do drink drive

:thumbs:

I despise drink drivers with a passion.:nono:

Drink driving is not even close to peadophilia or rape!!

Some people have a pint and a half feel perfectly fine and drive perfectly fine thinking they arent over the limit, and turns out they are..
Thats not exactly bad.

It is bad when people are steamed and they do though very dangerous.

It's good they're making Peter fall off the wagon again, it's all to easy to do an alcoholic storyline then just forget about it
