Coronation Street [News, Spoilers and Discussion] contd

Jane seems to be a bit of a marmite actress. You either love her or hate her. I thought she was outstanding. Feels weird getting set for the toy show after that. The loss of a child is really the worst thing that could happen to someone. Heartbreaking episode.

Leanne was shambolic. Steve tried to hold the story together but it focused more on her so that damaged the storyline.

What’s the bet Geoff did dump Elaine’s body in the canal?

I wouldn't have thought so, I'd say she'll turn up again

Obviously in the minority here but I thought Jane Danson (?) played a blinder. I thought she was brilliantly raw! Faced with telling medics to turn off your child's machines.....yikes I don't think it's possible to over act what that might do.

The end part of the actors are all standing on the street away from each other was stupid, they should have used stand in real partners for some hug scenes at least

I think Jane and Ben as Leanne and Nick did a good job in the acting, Simon who plays Steve cannot do emotional dramatic stuff

Yeah I thought we might see someone put an arm around Leanne at Oliver's bedside, a stand-in for Steve or Nick. I've heard of a few of the other soaps using real life family members to get around distancing, shame it couldn't be done here. It's tough trying to film under restrictions so I won't hold it against them!

I agree I don’t think Steve is good at emotional dramatic and serious stuff, only good at the comedy stuff. When he was doing the depression storyline , there was something preventing me from connecting with the storyline and think it was him as the actor.

Ray forces Faye to sleep with him, attacks her, similar to Phelan and Anna

Nooooooo!!!!! Don’t like that at all.

Here it is the big 60th trailer and it all looks amazing.

I’m glad Oliver story is over they dragged it out way to long.

Maybe they discover Ray's plans and somehow save the street from them?

Looks like I might be right!

I think her acting was outstanding however I found her difficult to empathise with as she was shrill and aggressive and insisted on attacking everyone around her even though they too were suffering. She behaved as if she had the monopoly on grief and loss in the situation.

Alice1

Agreed Ann. That is exactly what I was thinking! I understand the grief and worry but she was singularly unlikeable. We will have to see how the period of mourning goes.

After the funeral, she won’t be seen for months, with any luck!

Is Leanne (Jane) leaving?

No, but usually after an intense story, the main characters take a break.

I actually think they all played their parts very well and were true to their characters.

Flowergirl201

In fairness if I was in her situation I can't even begin to imagine how id be reacting to others. I think her acting was amazing

clairevoyant

I wonder is there ANY chance that Gail might get her fringe cut and that Nick might not look like he's about to poop a hedgehog no matter what the occasion - Leanne was very hard to watch but I must admit I cried at their good bye scenes.

Elaine is in a psychiatric hospital as she is afraid of Geoff

Jane Danson was amazing playing Leanne. I’d say she was completely wrecked after it. The character is horrible, constantly screeching and giving out but that is Leanne's personality, very draining though for the actress.
