I wouldn't let my kids watch Emmerdale or any other soap, because they regularly fling this sensationalist rubbish at us. Assisted suicide is the subject matter of documentaries or serious debate - as is post-natal depression. When did soap operas get elevated to the status of half-arsed social commentary? It drives me nuts. I don't watch a huge amount of TV but I do like to catch up on the soaps every now and again. I have to wade through the stomach churning and heart lurching for the humour and human interaction I'm looking for and find it increasingly difficult to find any. Oh for the days of a simple old love triangle.............

Why would you ask that? Do you have kids? Do you think this is a suitable subject matter to have on one of the main terrestrial channels at 7pm EVERY NIGHT?

Yep. Because they're lazy barstewards and couldn't be bothered coming up with regular storylines for someone with a severe disability. So they have the drama of the crash and the do-do-DOOO moment when he's told he's paralysed and then it's - SHOITE, what do we do now?
Nonsense.
