Absolutely and it would take a heart of stone not to be moved. But my point is they are taking subject matter, cancer, which is so highly evocative for millions and squeezing the last breath out of it...literally.

Steve MacDonald is not a daft character, he owns two business's. When he had his own construction firm he was shrewd, no one could pull the wool over his eyes.
If he can't play his character with any credibility anymore he should be killed off.

I don't think the state of Steve MacDonald is Simon Gregson's fault as Steve has been written as a buffoonish character for years now. I remember him as an excellent character when he was younger - charismatic and compelling - especially as a villain. I really wish they'd take his character back in that direction.

Simon Gregson would have a bit of a shock at having to act again, but I for one think he'd manage it :D

Would love to see what he's capable of but of course they have him set in stone at Corrie and he's obviously content to go on the way he's had been doing.

Guess keeping a regular pay check might also have something to do with it .. Shortly after Steven Arnold and Julia Haworth (Ashley and Claire Peacock) asked for better storylines they lost their jobs!!!

You got that right. Many an actor has given up taking chances so that they can have a secure paycheck. The business is so competative and unstable and actors are notoriously insecure types.
