welshgirl Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Thank you for this information about the story line in Coronation Street.When the story started on Coronation Street my mother was alive and was quite interested to watch the story develop as she herself had been diagnosed with inoperable Pancreatic Cancer. We used to watch the story develop on a weekly basis but mum then deteriorated and sadly died on the 17th October. As you can imagine I am totally devastated and am a little cautious of watching Coronation Street now. Its just as if I want to watch it but I also dont want to either as I know its going to upset me.Thank you for the information anyway, I will keep this in mind.
