Yes, it's a shame Micheal Starke wasn't given a better part...without his family. Although an actor's personality plays a part, it's obviously down to the writers to use that & not squash them into some dull part just because they were popular before & hopefully will be again.
I was amazed how great Karl Davies (?) is as Lyle, the sidekick to Stephen Fry in Kingdom, he was nothing exceptional as Robert Sugden in Emmerdale.
LoftyLottie, talking of Michelle....please don't ;o)
