Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

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

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).

Where's all this hate you've been seeing for Daniel Brocklebank's acting? I haven't come across any (though I've seen plenty for Antony Cotton). Daniel's an experienced actor who's done a lot of work outside the soap (including lots of theatre).

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.

As for Bruno Langley and Daniel Brocklebank, yeah, like I said, I take it back. They're doing a fine job. Antony Cotton though... not so much. 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. :p

Apparently Daniel is very conceited and goes about saying " I am on TV" , a sort of " Do you know who I am ?" remark. Can't remember where I read this but there must be an element of truth in it.

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.

No. He is on a new programme called First Dates.

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. :D

For me Bruno, David and Jack (Todd, Roy and David) are the show's top male actors currently
