What has escalated quickly?

That's just what I was thinking. Clear as mud.

Anyone watching Cucumber on Channel 4? Julie Hesmondhalgh's the best thing in it and so different to Corrie's Hayley. It's very funny to hear her swearing and speaking crudely - something Hayley would've rather died than do!

I'm finding Cucumber entertaining but a little disappointing overall. It doesn't compare to Queer as Folk (also written by Russell T Davies), which is one of my favourite dramas ever.

I find it difficult to watch Julie as something so different as Hailey..I hear that voice and I just see Hailey!! Last time I just started thinking how the sex scene with Hailey and Roy would look like..I just can't watch it..too much too soon for me.

Julie actually speaks quite a bit differently in Cucumber than in Corrie. Hayley's way of speaking was very distinctive but it seems that wasn't Julie's natural voice.

No one wants to think of a Roy and Hayley sex scene! It just wouldn't jibe with their gentle relationship.

She sounded the same as Hayley when she collected awards so she must has used her acting ability to have a different accent in this new tv show

Maybe she slipped back into Hayley mode for the awards??
