Hayley Cropper has just had Coronation Street's very own Humanist Funeral.
What with her bumping herself off the week before we have been exposed to the 21st Century wrestling with the caveman/woman's problem. Death.
Tribute to Corrie for introducing death in a more real way than soap operas and light entertainment normally do; and for raising big issues in wise ways.
I'm sure the screen-writers would say that it is not their place to provide the answers. That's why you get a telephone number if you or someone you know wants to end it all.
The trained person on the phone won't provide any answers - because that's what they've been trained not to do as well. They will help you explore why you feel as you do.
It's like buying a lovely book of Cryptic Crosswords that intrigues you. Only to find that when you are stuck there are no answers in the back.
