Coronation Street

[grumpy01]

Do the casting people ask the agents for the worst actors on their books to play the soap police.

[DJHawkes]

it's the wardrobe department i feel sorry for, they must bring that dirty mac out several times a year for the corrie detective of choice

[factor-fiction]

The actor who playsDev isn't a policeman

[Sharingan]

And the rubbish editing with two camera angles back and forth with totally different expressions on the actors faces with each change of shot.
If that was the only rubbbish I could get a part in I'd shoot myself.

[MadMen]

I haven't watched Corrie for years, but the actor who plays 'Dev' must be the worst actor of all time. Like ever.

[factor-fiction]

The barristers were a bit over the top as well. Where were all the objections you'd have got in response to all those leading questions and allegations?

[silliemillie]

Yes Dev is bad. But Policemen & hospital staff must all come from the same rubbish agency as grumpy has said.

[mazie]

And why didn't they get the hospital evidence when Tyrone went to A&E after she trapped his arm in the door?

[Caribeing]

And Deirdre being over dramatic and remembering every word exchanged by Tyrone and Kirsty

[elliemay1]

Those 2 were the worst ever! Agree about Deirdre too. Terrible!

[chelle7272]

Yes awful. All of them. Soap hospital staff are pretty dire as a rule too.

[elliemay1]

Yes, that last nurse was awful.

[Jeza]

I just think it is good to post on a thread that desky isn't on. As for corrie, it's a soap, enjoy and don't take it too seriously.

[elliemay1]

We're just remarking on the poor standard of acting. You'd expect better.

[chrissa1]

I love Corrie, warts and all.
I remember watching Crosswords with my mother years and years ago and us giggling when the scenery swayed all over the place. Daft plots, questionable acting is all part of the fun.

[Supermike]

I thought the male policeman was brilliant, just as funny as he was when ha played a policeman in "EarlyDoors". Perhaps that's why he got the job on Corrie?

[Ric.ror]

"Crime won't crack itself"
Brilliant one of the best comedies ever

[emmie]

no that goes to the legal eagles, those who wear wigs in court and look decidedly uncomfortable doing so, no one has obviously ever been in a real court, as they don't talk like that for one thing.

[mickthemuppe]

Over the years there must be more police employed in Wetherfield than all the other businesses but together

[BRIGHT SPARK]

I think his name was Nigel...[tango whiskeiy alpha tango[
