He looks like some tramp they took off the street, scrubbed and threw into a suit for a job interview pushing trolleys or something. Could he not even have cut his hair?!

    I think Simon Gregson in real life has been quite ill and had to miss a lot of filming e.g Steve's stag do

    No excuse whatsoever for looking like a hobo in important, key scenes. What the Hell was that overcoat, trainers and trackies combo all about when he was walking his dog?

    He could've at least done something with his hair before his wedding. But I guess he's had so many weddings days now that he's not all that bothered.

    I haven't noticed his hair or that it "needs cutting". If as someone said he's been ill then his hair isn't a priority if he needs to rest. If it looks tousled and he's wearing scruffy clothes then that's Corrie's hair and wardrobe team.

    Erm, the character is suffering from depression. Your appearance isn't always important.

    Steve had his hair cut a couple of weeks ago so I don't think he looks too bad. Also, we have to remember that his appearance probably isn't his top priority!

    It's still on going, do you even watch it?

    Yes I do watch it and his depression is nowhere near as bad as it was before he got back with old sour chops.

    I've got it myself and I think it's being portrayed very realistically. I take medication for it and can go months with very few symptoms then I can be in the position I've been in the last few months when I've had to take time off work for it and am having another sort of treatment along with the medication.

    I think it's been a shockingly bad storyline for depression

    It has proved what a dreadful actor Simon Gregson is, who is essentially play himself anyway. He doesn't act. He just shows up to work and recites lines. Zero talent involved.

    I'm sure charitys will disagree with you.
    He plays himself? Lol... do you know him in real life?

    If he can manage to go through the whole rigmarole of getting hitched, I'm sure he could've made the arduous effort to run a comb through his hair, on hiis wedding day!

    I think he acts the part perfectly he's one of their best characters in CS and the depression route has been played very well

    Which was what I really meant. Sorry if I offended, but it is a soap, and it's meant to be his wedding day. I'm surprised Michelle allows such hair, do they not share her magic conditioner?
