Accuracy and bias

A reasonable attempt but this article needs fleshing out and the inaccuracies and biases removing. Alex, for example, is not bisexual and describing him as "the obligatory gay character" shows bias when Sasha could just as easily have been described as "the obligatory black character". There is far more to both characters than their sexuality and ethnicity. --81.151.252.33 14:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sooz's real name

I'm not convinced that Suzanne is Sooz's real name. There is much evidence to suggest that her real name is Susan. In a flashback showing a young Sooz jumping on her bed while playing loud music in series 1, episode 2 her father yells "Susan!" in exasperation. In series 4, episode 6 Sooz loses her artistic inspiration and questions herself and who she is. At one point she refers to herself as "Susan - grown up art student." Later in the same episode her classmate Fran calls her Susan, much to Sooz's disgust, "Yeuch! And when did I become 'Susan'? Who's 'Susan'? I don't like 'Susan'," which further suggests that Susan is indeed the name her parents gave her and against which she is rebelling. At the end of the same episode a much happier, more confident Sooz comments "So, I figured it out. I'm not a 'Susan', I'm Sooz. It's just that Sooz has moved on a bit... grown. But essentially I'm still the same." --81.151.252.33 15:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thing is, IMDB claims it is Suzanne: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275821/fullcredits --advance512 14:35, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That may be so but IMDB can be wrong! There can be no absolute truth about a fictional character but when that character refers to herself by a particular name it's a pretty fair indication that it's what the writers intended. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 20:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Character summaries

We should seperate the character summaries from any plot details, and create a 'season by season' plot-line section. --advance512 15:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Emily Corrie: drink-driving offence

Regarding the following passage:

In November 2015, Corrie was sentenced to twelve months in prison for dangerous driving, with a concurrent four-month sentence for excess alcohol^[1] When stopped on the A3(M) just north of Portsmouth in Hampshire. When breathalysed Corrie recorded a level of 155 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath – the legal limit is 35mg.

I understand that Wikipedia allows the reporting of substantiated facts reported in print and online media. I note that this reference was edited to remove the degree of Corrie's crime by Montgomery15 and that the User left abusive comments to explain the reason for the edit.
