Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Evas raison d'être is to be the bod dumped for someone else in this show. Her character hasn't changed, she is still the needy girl friend that men lust over then regret winning the hand of.

But then Eva is now the only one that can act suited to two chumps who really cant, Ward just dosent have a actors voice and Scots bloke sounds more like a drunk Norwedian pretending to be a celtic fan.

Oh and its worrying when the most seemingly rational person in the Barlow group is Tracy.

Totally agree on that one. I mean those christmas cards are so over the top!

I think he firstly needs to have a personality. IMO he is plank of wood.

He only helps people if it benefits him in some way. Just thinks of himself. They have ruined this character. He got best newcomer not so long ago as voted by the public. So why did they change a winning formula?

I was puzzled by Shayne winning best newcomer to be honest because he's never been a winner for me.

I was pleasantly surprised at first because he exceeded my expectations as a bit of stunt casting, but I expected him to improve and he hasn't. He can recite his lines in a reasonable manner (he sounds more natural than Tracy for example), but there's a lot more to a good character than that. Nasty pieces of work can still make good characters if the actors are excellent and project a personality that draws us in and makes us want to watch them.

Unfortunately, Shayne lacks that charisma and will never be a good character for me whether he's nasty or nice.

I don't think Todd is a solicitor but he did work for one in some capacity.

Nice catch though! Perhaps he and Adam will start a firm near Coronation Street?

Todd is not a solicitor, he used to work as clerk in a solicitor´s office though

I thought in last night's episode the best cynical comment about world events must go to Daniel:

Billy: Imagine a world withouth faith.
Daniel: Then all we'd have to do is eradicate climate change.

I really like Daniel and starting to like Peter again
