AIBU?

To be on Tina's side in Cornation Street

I just want her to take that baby and run as far away as she can from the hideously rough and dis functional Armstrong/Windass family. Gary and Izzy rushed into the surrogacy without thinking it through properly and their relationship is not stable. Owen is well dodgy, Auntie Katy is a selfish cow who walked out on her lovely boyfriend and father of her son for a bad boy, Anna is a fishwife and then there is Faye the spawn of Satan. I can't blame Tina for deciding she doesn't want the baby to go to them after all. He'll be dragged up, poor thing.

It's sad how involved in this storyline I've become actually. How dare Anna speak to Rita like that!

Your mad!Wink She is essentially stealing them-their DNA, it's just such a ridiculous storyline, really sloppy, obvious plot from the writers, I love Tina as a character but it makes md want to turn off-but I don't cos I luffs corrie!

Anna and her husband conned a free kitchen out of Tina's dad, starting his slide into debt and death. I hope she remembers this and tells Anna it's her fault. :o

Yes, that is correct Panzee. How fitting that Tina is getting revenge on Anna by pinching her "grandson" and calling him Joe. Could only happen in a soap.

YANBU, I'm on Tina's side too.

I hope that the baby turns out to be hers and Tommy's genetically. I think they slept together around the time that they were supposed to be abstaining because of the IVF.

Maybe she was a few days pregnant with Tommy's baby and it was too early to be detected.

Don't know if this is even possible, but then again it's not real life is it ?! :)

I would not be on her side if it was real life. She carried the baby that is all. Can you imagine how devastated you would feel if you were Izzy.

I am too I do feel for gary and izzy as biologically that is there baby but without tina there would be no baby at all just donated sperm and a donated agg, its tina who has grew the baby, carried it and birthed it of course it will feel like hers. I could easily donate me eggs but could never hand a child id birthed over.

I do think it must be devestating to be a woman whose only chance to have a child is use a surrogate and to watch this programme.

The Windasses and Armstrongs are tossers, but Tina knew this seven months ago.

Sad, but I've never forgotten when 'Izzy' forgot she was wheelchair bound in one of the live shows and stood up in the Rovers so I just want to slap her whinging face now.

Izzy (the character) can stand.

Izzy is a wheelchair user in real life - she is not paralysed so is able to stand.

Bear the actress who plays Izzy has a disability (can't recall the name of it though) which means it's difficult for her to walk far but she can stand and walk a few steps I believe. Hence her standing at the bar in the live ep Smile.

I'm itching for the baby to be T & T's. I hope they DNA test it. If the Windarses take her to court, I bet the judge will order one and the truth will be revealed in the Christmas episode or something.

Team Tina all the way!

Izzy is bloody annoying!

Izzy isn't paralyzed, she has the same condition in real life as she has in the show, she uses a wheelchair but she can stand.

SoftKitty She has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, it's a genetic disorder to do with connective tissues and puts you at very high risk of dislocations along with other things, that and the pain is what makes it hard to walk and why she will be in the wheel chair but still able to stand. :)

I can see how hard it is for Tina but I also feel for Gary and Izzy having no legal right to their biological child.

To be fair Tina and Tommy relationship is hardly stable.

reminds self it's not real

I hope Tina keeps the baby and turns out to be it's biological mother, Anna and Izzy's whingy voices get right on my nerves. I used to think Gary was ok but he has been a dick recently, but how lovely is Tommy supporting Tina when he told her from the start it would go pear shaped.

How the hell could you stand if you were paralysed? Confused
And im NOT on Tina's side- I think she is being a total cow- she knew the risks of getting attached and knew what a wanky family the Windasses were when she went into it- why bring up all that shit now.

Bugger- I know it's not real but why, if she can stand up, is that the only time I can ever recall her doing it? she still gets on my wick though
