*standing ovation for your sister*. Damn right!

I wonder if this Daily Mail story about the Coronation Street set might be a coded allusion to the unpopularity of Anthony Cotton.

Anthony is 'alright' Ive met him sloads times. Ive put this on here before, he's a regular in a bar I used to work at. He used to drink vodka and coke. He was quite dismissive of the staff, not many manners but seemed friendly to his friends. Never tipped, even when he went from queer as folk to corrie.

Someone mentioned Andy from Emerdale before... Yes he IS lovely. a proper down to earth friendly guy. Adoreable.

Strange set of photos to use, one features a character who left about a year ago, and aren't the other two from Betty Driver's funeral?

As for Anthony Cotton being "popular with fans", I've never heard anybody say they like him.

I certainly don't like him. I think he's overused and overrated and he can't act to save his life.

His attitude makes me dislike him even more and I get the impression on the Corrie set he thinks he's something he's not.

I know someone who works as a warm up guy on quite a few shows. He says the majority of "stars" who are presenting the shows don't want to know where the warm up's concerned. But Eamonn always makes a point of going to see them, sitting down and having a chat to see how things are going, etc. Really top bloke apparently.

That is really nice to know.

He does appear as if he can be abrasive but, even when interviewed abut is complaints about the Culshaw stuff, he comes over very well.

Scarlet Johnson (played Vicki Fowler on EE) is the only celebrity I've came across, it was 2004 on the London eye and to be fair she wasn't vile to anyone but you could tell by looking at her that she thought she wa san A lister, most of the other people there had no clue who she was and she still had that "WHY CAN'T I BLEND IN?" look on her face.

My dad has worked in hotels most of his life and he said John Mcririck is as nasty in real life as he was on CBB.

From your description he sounds far from alright, he sounds completely odious.

I thought the only person who thought Anthony Cotton was a'
'popular character' of this programme was Cotton himself

He seems a bitchy little queen and nothing I've read about him seems to change that about him
