I take it the storyline with boring Joe, is tht he's going to become addicted to pain killers. Why can't Gail find a normal man for once in her dreary life!
Normal man? No such thing as normal on soaps :o)
She does pick 'em doesn't she, but I quite like Reece Dinsdale (although I don't see him being in Corrie forever).
It's good that they're showing a painkiller addiction.
amazing that |Joe couldn't bend over forwards in the quack's surgery when he was getting prescription for painkillers. They must be fantastic drugs because later in the same episode he was bending and lifting stuff into his van with no problem at all!
