Toxic Tracy...

[cupid04]

Do you think she'll get the Rovers? I hope not....

[zebo]

Go to the Digital Spy website, I'm saying nothing more!

[Butterbun]

I hope not. Can you imagine her as a landlady?

[andy-hughes]

I have said before and will say again - if you watch any soap for long enough, every eligible character will have a go at working at the central location points - pub / shop / launderette etc., and every vaguely compatable character will sleep with every other character.

It's the nature of soaps - it never alters.

[Butterbun]

Very true, andy-hughes.

[hc4361]

I hope not.

Sorry to read that Craig Charles is leaving

[Jomlett]

He could return, hc.

[hc4361]

Who will buy him out of StreetCars? Tony?

[Butterbun]

Most of the better actors/actresses seem to be leaving. We'll soon be left with only Sally, Gail and Audrey, and bad boy David.

[Jomlett]

Who will buy him out of StreetCars? Tony?

Tony's mincemeat if he double crosses Liz!

I'm getting bored with characters in Corrie and Emmerdale, but I still watch hoping for improvement. Sad or what?

[hc4361]

I don't like Billy.

[cupid04]

I don't like Sean...hope that doesn't make me a homophobe!

[Butterbun]

I went completely off Sean when I saw him in 'Celebrity Jungle'. His attitude towards some of the others surprised me. Not a nice person. I'm sorry 'Carla' is leaving.

I used to like Sean but his character has become more and more exaggerated over time. Eye rolling, flouncing, facial expressions, sighing. He's morphing in to a scary blend of Frankie Howerd and Kenneth Williams.

Indeed, his 'flamboyant' persona has become more exaggerated as time has gone on.

I remember Michael Caine giving a master class in acting for film and television and he pointed out the importance of micro-gestures, because the camera will pick up everything, and you have to reduce everything down to let the camera do its work.

It's the precise opposite of theatre, where everything has to be magnified to each the back row.

Sadly 'Sean' is not being advised to tone it down a little, and he is coming over as an exaggerated queen - which is sad considering that his character has been given proper depth to dispel the standard charicatures of gay men.

Of course not - it makes you a good judge of character though - I find him really irritating!

[hc4361]

Shame it was Marcus that left and not Sean.

[netibiza]

I love Sean, but then I live amongst them!! say no more!!

Having been a huge Corrie fan from Day 1, and having been in a couple of crowd scenes, I find I now don't watch it unless it happens to come on and I can't be bothered to switch over. We missed about three weeks when away on holiday a year or so ago and suddenly there were all new people who seemed to be taking the place over who we didn't know.

[cupid04]

What I can't understand is why Tony would buy the pub for Tracy. She's not got any money of her own....Her only asset she sits on and my OH said he wouldn't touch it with a barge pole ;-)
