Corrie

[Caran]

Why has Craig just developed OCD. It came on very quick didn't it. Just a tiny incident on Wednesday and really full on tonight.
Also where has Alex sprung from. I don't remember him being mentioned before.

Caran, in soapland .. anything is possible ;0)

[fiction-factory]

They've been hinting at it for about 6 months now- usually involving looking at clocks, double checking the time and unplugging things

[fiction-factory]

It started when he was beating himself up for gettting the time wrong in Bethany's trial.
I think Alex was in several years ago- maybe 5 or more years ago played by someone far younger- but he seems a lot older now and looks far too old to have her as a mum

[Caran]

I hadn't noticed anything really prior to Wednesday.

I just vaguely remember Ryan and Michelle coming into Corrie. Mysterious stalker claimed to be Ryan's father.There was something about there having been a mix-up at the hospital where Ryan was born and he wasn't her son. Can't remember much else.

[andres]

Sorry Alex^^^^^

Alex hasn't been in Corrie for 10 years. His parents discovered that he wasn't their son when he was seriously ill and neither of them were a match as blood donors. His dad did some detective work and found out that Ryan was his, and Alex was Michelle's.

[Caran]

hc I remember the mix up now. Thank you.

[hc4361]

I think Alex is the same actor. Bring back Ryan and his huge hair :D

Also i believe you have to train about 10 years to become a doctor so he must be at least 28, but Michelle celebrated being 40 in the programme last year, i'm sure she was older than about 12 when she had him???

[MargoTester]

I think he said he was training to become a doctor and this was one of his rotations

[hc4361]

Michelle was born 21st April 1976 and Ryan and Alex were born on 14th January 1992.

So Alex is 26

It's stretching the relms of reality, but..........it's a Soap.

I think 7 years to train to be a doctor and Alex said he has one more year to go, dont think he is same actor who played Alex before but not sure?? he is same actor that was in love lies and records, he played the partner of the lady who was dying of cancer and they had a baby and got married quickly and she died that day or day after, I knew I recognised him.

[hc4361]

You're right - he is a different actor
