I knew this wouldn't be the only news about Antony Cotton that I wanted to read, that he had decided to retire from "acting" (not that I'd call what he does acting), but this is quite a funny story. It's obvious he hasn't been asked. "I love Strictly, I'd bite their hand off ... but Corrie is my priority".
Also amusing that he talks about the cast being like family - a family in which half your relative don't like you?
And finally the arrogance of the man to talk about people who only stay for a year don't fit either as a character or an actor. What about those actors who fancy a short stint on a soap and to then move on, rather than just being the "annoying irritant" (he got that right at least) in the background.
No one will fix SCD for him like they did that singing contest because he had a chat show coming up on the same channel.
For me this is great news as it means he won't be spoiling Strictly for me. He's a pain in the ass in Corrie but I tend to FF his scenes now. In fact I tend to FF Corrie a fair bit in general these days. 20 something minute episodes are watched in 5 minutes.
Is that the royal 'we', because it doesn't apply to me, or thousands of others that never see (or want to) DS?
OK then ... as clarification, I don't want to see him in the show any more ... as he is such a poor actor ... it's just my opinion , but I felt I was entitled to it. It's such a pity he is retained week after week despite his outlandish 'performances'.
I am sure he is. He is quite a likeable guy, who wouldn't want to be his friend?
Likeable?! He's downright nasty and arrogant. The man's vile. I also agree that he probably wasn't even asked to go on Strictly (which I love). It was just hype to get him publicity.
we can only hope one day the title ANTHONY COTTON LEAVES CORRIE,there again who else would offer him a job?
I was thinking the same he would never get a job elsewhere...but he will never leave Corrie he is on to a good thing not to mention his high salary...he's laughing all the way to the bank.....but in actual fact I don't mind him to much I can take him or leave him..

He is a vital character.
PMSL:D:p
SULLA - is you really think that, then your not watching the same corrie as me.
If he wasn't vital he would have left some time ago.
Oooooooooo.... You mischievous person, LOL!:D
Are you trying to ruin my weekend?

Yes. So did I. And I'm mightily disappointed that he isn't!

Why is he perpetually retained ? - he's patently a bad actor, only capable of playing an overly ostentatious caricature.

With him doing Strictly, it would mean Sean being written out of the show for a period of time.
Oh well.
So did I

That glorious day will probably crash DS.
DIdn't he win Let's Dance for Comic Relief with his tap dancing?
That should read, "We don't need crap like Cotton on Strictly!"
