disabled in Coronation Street

[woolleysheep]

there is a young lady in corrie who is in a wheel chair, has you ever seen her go into the factory or any other premises using her chair

[jackthehat]

Yes

[hc4361]

And she is a wheelchair user in real life

[woolleysheep]

but it never seem to show the difficulties of dealing with being in a wheeelchair

[Smowball]

She can stand though, I've seen her. Not sure of the full nature of her disability

[cupid04]

I don't understand how she gets into Roy's Rolls though because of the
angle of the entrance, you have to go in then round and there wouldn't be
enough room to turn her wheelchair.

[craft1948]

She was in Little Britain in her wheelchair as a mate of Andy Pipkin.........

she has joint hyper mobility

[ojread2]

Mind you, it says on imdb that she has that *meaning* she uses a wheel chair
I have it, as do both my daughters and we dont use a wheelchair so it must be like a lot of disabilities, varying degrees of how bad you can have it - learn something new everyday =)

cupid04... or through the rovers doors when viewed from outside they are around 14" wide (both) but increase in size when viewed from inside to around 24" wide, a bit like a Tardis lol

it's only TV, they just move the walls =D

[cathfromsaron]

she has spina bifida in the plot; not sure of her real condition!

she had problems when her chair needed to be repaired ...

[ojread2]

you didnt read all the thread then, cath?

[curlyperm11]

.....where's Tubby.....to tell us all its only a soap and not real?..
In reality....(cos ive done it) there is no actual door on RoysRolls when they are filming.... Its a seperate set...and so..because he is in a wheelchair in reality it doesnt make ny difference....you will never see her actually ENTERING that door...not in one straight scene anyway

[curlyperm11]

*sorry meant to say. SHE ..not. HE

[kawakiri]

It's a puppet!!!

[tenrec]

Is Coronation Street a soap?

It's a lot more than it sounds above

I wasn't aware Izzy had ever told anyone what is wrong with her, although at one point didn't she tell Kirk she was hurt in a hit and run but then told him the truth that she has a degenerative disease?
