I don't mind Steve, it's Michelle that's the main problem for me. I'm beginning to think that the writers' intention with this storyline is to make us feel sorry for the unlikable Michelle, not poor Steve. :thumbsdowQuote:

When she was in the prog
about new Pop groups and trying to

single mum- it jarred and didnt ring true!
She apppeared to me as a very self-important
person even then.
Still rumour has it she has some fans-
not met one personally yet- but each to their
own.!!

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has said that her character Michelle Connor will clash with Liz McDonald over the best course of action for Steve.
With Michelle now focused solely on helping Steve (Simon Gregson) to get better following their reconciliation, she faces opposition from his mum Liz as it becomes apparent that they have very different approaches.
While Liz adopts a "tough love" approach with her son, Michelle thinks they should tread more carefully around him, worried about his vulnerable state.
Marsh said: "They both obviously want to help Steve but because both of them are so worried about him and love him so much - they both want to help him in their own way.
"Understandably they clash as they're both so concerned about him. They both have different approaches - Liz is more of the tough love approach and tries to get Steve up and doing things, whereas Michelle is much more trying the softly-softly approach."
Marsh added: "Liz doesn't think it's the best way because Michelle is so protective of Steve and doesn't want to hurt or upset him. After everything that's happened with the crash, Michelle thinks they should go easy on him."
Despite the disagreement, Marsh believes that the pair will be able to put their differences aside eventually in order to work together to help Steve.
"They do both realise that they shouldn't be arguing and that they are both so worried and have so much going on", she said.
"They realise that whatever approach they both want to take, ultimately they both want the same thing because they both want the best for Steve."
Coronation Street's Kym Marsh has said she'd love Michelle and Steve to have an iconic relationship like Jack and Vera.
Speaking on This Morning, the soap star said that she has "so much fun" working with Simon Gregson, who plays Steve.
"I'd love to see [Steve and Michelle be like Jack and Vera]," she said. "My happiest times that I've been on the Street have been when I'm working alongside Simon Gregson.
"We've had so much fun together and it's been weird when they've split us up and put Michelle with someone else. I don't like that."
The actress also shared that she doesn't have the same taste in wedding dresses as her character.
Marsh said: "I went and helped get the wedding dress because obviously I know my character inside and out, so I went along to help choose the dress.
"It's not something I would [pick], it's probably a bit bigger than something I would choose but it's very much what she would choose."
Marsh also joked about where the characters will hold their wedding reception, saying that people "can probably work out" the venue.
She said: "I think it's not going to be anything grand so I think we can probably work out where the reception is going to be."
Jack & Vera? Is she looking for a 30 year contract?
Oh ! You think she meant the Duckworths?Quote:

K M does seem desperate to foster the
illusion they are an ideal couple.
I wonder why !!

I don't think Simon Gregson has a big enough ego to compare himself to Jack Duckworth. He seems like a very down to earth guy who doesn't do many interviews or even attend award ceremonies.Quote:

(I do actually think that Simon Gregson has it in him to be the next Jack Duckworth but Michelle's no Vera.)
Yes - definitelyQuote:

I think Steve has become a legend in his own right now and his best partner has been Becky
He's had two partners that have been absolute gold - Karen and Becky - which makes Michelle look so dull in comparisonQuote:

Coronation Street's Kym Marsh has jumped to the defence of her new co-star Sarah Harding after Harding received negative reviews for her performance.
Former Girls Aloud singer Harding is currently appearing as Joni Preston in a four-episode arc on the ITV soap.

Sarah Harding as Joni
Marsh said in an interview with OK! Magazine: "I feel for her as it's hard for anyone to come into a long-running TV show with such well-loved characters.
"Sarah's first scene was with Rita in The Kabin and of course she's going to be compared with actors like that."
She added: "Don't forget, she was probably nervous too. I know I was when I came into the show."
maybe these singers should stick to what their "best" at, get damn good character actresses for ACTING!!Quote:

There's a very long tradition of singers becoming actors. I don't care what their previous career was as long as they can actually act, and they got the part fairly (ie not stunt casting for PR purposes). Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with Sarah Harding, but I think Kym Marsh is an OK actress. I don't like her character Michelle - but that's another story!Quote:

Rappers also quite often pop up in US TV shows, and some of them are decent enough.
I don't see the problem as people change careers all the time. Stunt casting of famous people who're terrible actors is another matter! Let's hope Corrie have learned their lesson... :nono:
