I agree that the fall-out of Leanne´s pregnancy has interesting aspects and look forward ( at the moment) to see what develops.Quote:

Oh dear the soap police do it again. Why TF would they return Kylies blood stained clothing before either the inquest or Court Case. These are evidential Exhibits and would not be disposed of in this manner
I think David might have said it was his jacket, but I'm guessing your comment still applies.Quote:

It would have made sense to show Michelle secretly yearning to have another baby (and Steve and Leanne getting closer) for months to give the storyline some solid foundations.
Yep, Steve suddenly having relations with Leane made no sense in any universe!
Can we hurry up and kill off Sane Wards character please.
Umm... I agree blood soaked items would be disposed of, not returned willy nilly..

It could still count as 4 weeks pregnant. That's how they count them isn't it?Quote:

It's actually a better excuse than it sounds. Flying with a middle ear infection can cause extreme pain and even a ruptured ear drum due to air pressure changes.Quote:

I've come to the conclusion that the Leanne/Steve/Michelle baby storyline isn't being taken too seriously by the actors involved (except perhaps Jane Danson). The other three appear to me to be having a lot of fun, and I'm also taking it in that spirit.
It was good to see Eileen (eventually) supportive of Todd and Billy.

It looks like he's phoning it in half the time, again, I like Bruno and Todd the character, so I don't mind that much. It's just.. it's kinda unfair to call Billy a bad actor when they're both pretty bad imo. Todd has some acting ticks that annoy me a lot. But whatever, this was just a stupid rant, lol, sorry to get off topic. BTW, this is a soap and imo they're doing ok enough. I've seen actors much worse too, like certain actors on EastEnders.
I think both Daniel Brocklebank and Bruno Langley are good actors, and a lot more talented than many others in Corrie. I haven't seen any comments denigrating Daniel's acting; in fact the general consensus according to what I've read online is positive for both actors. A lot of people were against Todd and Daniel getting together but the couple appears to be more or less accepted now, and that's in no small part down to the actors playing their budding relationship convincingly.Quote:

However, acting ability is subjective so people have widely different opinions of talent. Even Meryl Streep isn't universally applauded! :eek:
(By the way, I don't think discussions of acting ability - or lack thereof - of the Corrie cast is off topic for this thread. :))
I was just going to say that I take it all back, lol. Actually.. not completely. I still think Daniel and Bruno are doing an OK job, but at the same time I have seen better actors too. They're not the worst though, definitely. After seeing the preview clip for next week I realized that there are other actors on Corrie who are much worse (even if there is a LOT of hate for Daniel Brocklebank's acting in particular, don't know why), like Antony Cotton. I just watched the preview clip for next week and I bursted out laughing. His delivery of lines was so cringeworthy and not at all convincing that I just sat there. My jaw was on the floor. I could not believe what I was seeing. He couldn't even act upset, it's like he didn't care. Actually.. he didn't act. I wouldn't call that acting. He was just.. "not there". I don't understand why he's still on the soap? Like even if Daniel and Buno's acting isn't perfect, at least they try, at least they take it seriously, which is more than can be said about Antony Cotton. I was borderline disgusted by what I saw.Quote:

He didn't make for a convincing partner for Billy which is why they've been split up and Billy put with Todd (who, on paper at least, is even less suited to the vicar, but the actors make the relationship work).Quote:

I have not seen any negative comments on Daniel´s acting, I did not mind Billy with Sean but also like him with Todd, however, this of course will not last either. I like Sean and somehow don´t mind his acting, but yes, Daniel and Bruce can do some scenes better. Hopefully Tilly will be with us for a while until the inevitable heartbreak of another relationship ending
I've been reading many comments on Corrie's Facebook page lately. Probably not a good idea, I know. Many seem to hate Billy as a character, and a few commented on Daniel Brocklebank's acting saying they're not a fan. There were a few homophobic comments too, sadly.Quote:

I gotta say though that Antony was good when Billy broke up with Sean before Sean went to London. But yeah, in this new preview clip he is not convincing at all.
For Tyrone´s radio to have too much crackling and noise it was a very clear reception in the cab office for Eileen to hear Billy and Todds´convo :p
I had a feeling you were going to say Facebook. I haven't looked at the Corrie page myself but from what I hear they're not exactly a discerning bunch like us here. :pQuote:

Are you sure you're not confusing Daniel Brocklebank with Antony Cotton? I've read similar about the latter many times, but never about the former.Quote:

Ha ha...that article does make him sound a bit full of himself, although the programme would have probably been edited to his disadvantage to get people talking. It doesn't make any difference to my liking for the character either way. :DQuote:

He seems sweet on twitter and he supports many charities, so being a bit full of himself is hardly the worse thing in the world.Quote:

It could just be that he was astonished someone can live in this country and not be aware of Coronation Street. We shouldn't let one article in a tabloid change our perception of him.Quote:

A lof of them brag about being in corrie. The woman who played Sunita character rang a shop where my cousin worked and said she was sunita from corrie before making her list of demands. But maybe certain people are being targeted in the newspapers lately. I don't believe most of what i read anyway.
Especially The Sun!!!Quote:

Community scenes in the Rovers at times of crisis are usually high points but I also found them hollow. No one apart from David appears to feel any deep grief or shock at the murder of a well known and liked young woman. :searchme:
I did enjoy the Sarah/Todd/David confrontation scenes but I was left wanting more so hopefully they'll continue on Wednesday.
Coincidence of the week: Sean happening upon a very fleeting caress between Billy and Todd that could have been entirely innocent and reading a long-running affair into it. :wall:
That last part, yep. I really don't get how he knew they were having an affair from that? The scenes were not effective and fell flat to me. If they were seen (or heard) making out, or heck, just them talking about their relationship and Sean overhearing I'd understand. But this? I expected so much more from these scenes. After the spoiler pic I'd been looking forward to it for weeks. Their being affectionate is what I like most about them. They teased this scene for weeks and it barely lasted two seconds. I understand it was Kylie's funeral but I feel like they could have had the scene lasting for a few seconds longer, it would have been more effective that way imo. It was just too short.Quote:

One of the problems with filming five episodes a week is that everything is very hurried with little to no time for rehearsal or retakes, so a lot of nuance falls by the wayside. This will likely only be exacerbated when Corrie starts transmitting six episodes a week next year...
