Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dazzle]

An effective actress can convey a shocked state but still the emotion is there behind the eyes. She hasn't got it. Jesse Wallace isn't anything to write home about either. Now, Joy Joyner could do it and so can Lacey Turner. Two soap actresses that can act.

Well you won't get any argument from me about Lacey Turner, who's a fabulous actress

I guess I interpreted that scene as her being shocked and numb, which is how I imagine I'd feel in that situation. I can understand why you don't like her acting, as she has a brittleness to her, but I find her one of the better actors in EE. I certainly prefer her to someone like Jessie Wallace, whose acting as Kat is much-lauded. I don't see that all, personally.

she is a better actress than lacey and jessie and jo

jessie was decent on her first turn as kat then all her storylines were the same her cheating and being dirty over her abuse and same with lacey a cheat and bipolar same old thing for them both

lindsey coulson is a very good actress as shown in other shows as is linda henry and patsy palmer

I never was impressed with Wallace except as a broad, cartoonish entertaining character as Kat. Lacey Turner displayed her acting ability and garnered 33 awards for Eastenders, then has been doing excellent work in various shows such as Bedlam and very recently a great turn on Call the Midwife. She has won more British Soap Awards than any other actor in any soap, and, at the age of 17, she was the youngest person to ever win 'Best Actress',] an award she went on to win four times.In 2013, she also starred in the television movie Our Girl, which will return for a full series in 2014. EE is lucky to have her do a return stint.

If you actually think Coulson is a better actress then truly there is no hope.

Linda Henry is effective in her role as Shirley as is Patsy Palmer as Bianca. But neither of them have the abilities that Turner has nor even near what Joy Joyner achieved.

Given a decent storyline and script there is potential for all to be great actors and actresses

They're hardly going to get that with soaps and add to that the directorial element. They churn these soaps out with little time for refinements in the performances. Which makes it all the more impressive when you do get a good performance such as you find with the actresses I noted.
