Alzheimer’s story line and the feelings of the carer in Coronation Street
Coronation Street tackles dementia and carer guilt
On Friday 21 October Coronation Street’s Eileen Grimshaw – who is currently dating fireman Paul – finds out that his wife has Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s Society hopes the storyline will get people talking more about dementia and the issues affecting families living with the condition.
Jeremy Hughes, Alzheimer’s Society Chief Executive, said:
‘It is good to see Coronation Street featuring a dementia storyline and one that tackles such a rarely spoken about subject. If a carer develops feelings for someone else they may feel very guilty. Having such a high profile soap covering the issue will hopefully enable more people to feel comfortable talking about it. We know from talking to people that everyone experiences dementia differently and relationships they have are very different too.’
