sobbing.

Not sure where to post this but has anyone just watched casualty? Ive just sat and broken my heart crying over the woman whose baby died. Am I an emotional wreck to cry over soaps and dramas?

[MrBen5]

it looks that way rachel79 :(

[oldwoman]

No you arn`t and it does us all a bit of good to have a cry now and again.

Hi rachel... I watched it and thought 'thank god there was no music playing over this' cos I'd have cried my eyes out.
There are often lots of soap situations that are very emotional and thats great because they aim to reflect real life (tho often they're too far fetched). Hope that makes sense. x

don't worry, you're not the only one , my sister is the same she sobs her heart out over anything to do with babies! whereas i'm completly different, i cry on all the animal films ! used to sob my heart over lassie, & dumbo broke my heart, even now when i think of bright eyes with the rabbits it brings a tear to my eyes :-( silly b*ggers aren't we ? but thats how we are at least it shows we got feelings!:-)

Probably-which makes me one too!

I am one too! when I used to watch TV about 3 years ago, there was a holby city episode in which Chrissie went in to premature labour and had her baby early which then subsequently died a within a few hours of massive brain damage. The last scen was just her in a darkened room holding the baby and a handprint and photo the staff had done for her as memories. I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed uncontrollably. It didn't help that I was one day off my due date with my baby and I have rarely been so inconsolable. My husband was quite concerned.

I must have been so upset and keyed up because 3 hours later my baby was born, a few minutes before her due day, perfectly healthy with zero brain damage and all I could say when I saw her was "Poor Chrissie".

How ridiculous is that?

[Suzyboo]

I do actually admire someone with a relatively young child herself being able to put herself through acting that role which must have been a very emotional one

[devilwoman]

that baby was sooo a plastic doll, anyone could see that.

[Goodsoulette]

I cant stand babies or children dying on telly turns me into a wreck. Im not the crying type either,

[BigBishop]

I don't think it was real?

[rachel79]

I feel lots better now after reading your answers, it doesnt take much to set me off sometimes.
Mimififi, I remember that episode of holby with chrissie, the song playing in the background was fields of gold by eva cassidy which made it even more heart wrenching.

I agree with Suzyboo about Charlie Brooks being so good at playing a bereaved mother and having a little child herself. I remember the Holby episode and the music deffo made me more emotional watching it.
