Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Snagglepus]

Simon Gregson is a pathetic actor, he was ok a long while ago but seems to have lost it. He is the most unbelievable actor in the street. He pulls a face like there is no one at home sometimes.
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.

Can someone with a long Corrie memory remind me...? Was Todd always this unpleasant? I seem to remember him as quite a decent sort of character but now he's just a sh...you know what.

I blame those Londoners for his change of personality

I think he's kept on for his comedy skills on Corrie. It's certainly not for his dramatic ability. But then again, is he capable? They only utilize him in a comedic, one dimensional capacity.

Painful alright and in a way to me, exploitative. They're milking this for all it's worth knowing full well the emotional impact this subject has on the public. I'm only grateful that Hesmondhalgh has been reigned in with this storyline from her usual cartoonish OTT eye rolling performance as Haley.

Poor Tina....

for me the strawberries showed how desperate roy has become to try and help and give comfort to hayley. it is destroying him watching his soul mate slipping away. it wasn't a funny scene in the deli and nor was it meant it be. i thought it was played to perfection by david. his face at the end said it all.
