In fact if theres anything in it the plank of wood has it.

Reread what i said, you missed the main point. i was pointing out the characters that I found believable. His interpretation of the Fred character worked for me. At least he was playing a character and not himself like Hesmondhaulgh.

From the current cast I think the actresses who play Leanne, Deirdre, Mary, Anna, Beth, Kylie, Gail, Sally and Audrey do a decent job in the acting stakes

No, just a lousy actress. The same OTT mannerisms she exhibits in real life she brought to the character.

I've just caught up with this. How anyone can think that a) Kate Ford is anything but an appalling actor and b) Tracy Barlow is a convincing villain is beyond me. They are both, in my opinion, hopeless and completely unbelievable.

Not much of a fan of Tracy Barlow character or actress. What area of the north is Hayley meant to come from as it is not a manchester accent.
