Katherine Kelly is such a brilliant actress, I'm so sad she is leaving, she truly is the best character in the soap. Her expressions are priceless, and the scenes with Hayley and Roy are real tear jerkers, I read that the actress who plays Hayley actually did cry on set when they acted her leaving scenes. I love Sylvia too, she comes out with such good one liners and seems to have taken over from Blanche in this respect. How I wish the producers/writers would wake and realise that the characters they have left (apart from the odd few) are complete dross and that the soap is going downhill because of stupid storylines and bad acting.
