This has got to be a first, for UK soaps at least. Judy in Coronation Street who had twins in December was, apparently, bottle feeding. But tonight she started a new job behind the bar at the Rovers Return, as Gary has lost his job and they are in dire straits. Reluctantly, she left Gary with the babies - and Gary handed her a breast pump as she went. 'You might need this - we could run out,' he said. Then in a scene with Judy at work, colleague Betty glances down at Judy's blouse - 'hey, love, you're leaking! ' Judy rushes off, and then comes back again a few minutes later, and leaning over to Jim, who has come in for a quick pint, asks confidentially, 'you can't see I've got tons of toilet paper stuffed down my bra, can you?' It's all done with sympathy and low-key gentle humour. I cheered! It is, let's face it, unlikely that she relactated, and it looks as though the script editors have just decided to have her bf as a normal, natural thing...maybe not realising the lack of realism here - but who cares? I'm going to visit some of the Coronation Street websites and see if there's anything more about it Heather Welford Neil NCT bfc Newcastle upon Tyne UK
