she seriously deserves awards and recognition for her acting during Steph's Cancer Storyline!
so emotional and well portrayed!
anyone else agree?

I'm pretty disappointed in the writing and the acting.. It could have been a lot better.
I don't agree that it derserves many awards nor do I agree that the acting could be better
I'm finding it very sad to watch and carley is playing it well but I think that the terminal illness storyline is the reason why people think it and Carley deserves awards when she hasn't really impressed me up to now
I do find it an emotional and touching storyline though- Poor little tom
I've never understood the hype with her.
A brilliant and recognised illness storyline was Hannah's anorexia problem and Emma Rigby can out-act Carley any day of the week.
Im really going to miss Steph!
LOL are you serious? Average? Wow.
She's not amazing and she's not rubbish, therefore average.
In what scenes has she been incredible?
she was pretty good when Max was still on it, I don't think she's really improved over the years, just the same, if not worse, this cancer storyline should set her apart from the rest of the cast, you should be able to tell how good she is, maybe it's her or maybe it's the script/ storyline that has let her down.
I agree. Carley's a great actress. She's certainly always been brilliant at comedy. If the script is good she can be just as good for drama as well. It's a pity they've chosen this for her leaving storyline. She desereved better.
Emma Rigby overdid the gurning in her storyline. She was always a bit OTT to me, but they did a brilliant make-up job making her look like a grey skeleton without Emma actually losing any weight, so the make-up people deserved credit for that. Emma herself did an okay job, but her acting isn't anything special. Though any decent actor stands out in HO cos most of them are usually so bad!
I actually agree, her comedy acting is what she's best at, I think this has pushed her too much, not to mention how bad the script is.
I would have liked to seen her leave in a similar way to how Debbie did, doing something she enjoyed dancing and singing, getting a part in a musical or something, instead of boring tragedy and the Tom curse.
She doesnt look sick at all and was dancing around a few eps after the hysterectomy.
That was what I said when this story was announced,and why I thought as they HAD decided to have her go this way that they were just gonna have her leave while still in good health - that at least IS realistic, she doesn't have to look at deaths door in an instant - and see life away from HO and go for her dream, sort of thing, and then basically never mention her again until someone says she's died somewhere!
But this is a TERRIBLE storyline to give to someone whose been in HO for 10 years!! They have no idea how to do it realistically and for someone who, for Gods sake, has been a COMEDY character more than anything else, whoever came up with this depressing idea for her exit should be sacked!
Killing her off is criminal. You don't kill off comedy characters!
I don't blame Carley if she's going through it all in auto pilot. They don't deserve that she gives anymore than that for this depressing storyline. Steph is the kind of chracter who should leave on a comedy high of some sort.
There is no way that steph would leave tom to go and seek fame and fortune so to be fair I think killing her off is the only realsitic way she would ever leave tom. I find the storyline moving and carley is doing a good enough job
So it's the fault of the Devil Kid that kills everyone off who looks after him, that they had to kill HER off?
Poor Carley, that she was lumbered with him, then!
Wouldn't it just be easier to kill HIM off?! He;s gonna wipe out every member of his family (whether it;s a blood, step or half connection) in the end, anyway, probably.
Who has he killed off so far? His mother, his father, his half-brother, his half-niece, his half-sister-in-law .... anyone else?
This is one terrfying child. And he's not even 10 yet!
Carley was very moving tonight on E4, but I do agree the writing hasn't been brilliant. I have lost friends to this disease and , even with a very aggressive one, it took its time. This will have been all done and dusted in about 2 months.
Realise they can't do it in 'real time' but I'm obviously not the only one who thinks the story poorly written.
Yes, Carley is better known for comedy (or she wouldn't have been cast in Legally Blonde) but she did rise to the occasion tonight I thought - her scene with Darren was very good.
(NB to Darren; don't think accountants wear colourful string vests under loud shirts!)
erm, she HAS been shown handling her cancer, in a way that only Steph can e.g. trying to seek fame and doing things for charity. also do you want them to show Steph having treatment in every ep? if it has not been shown at least she has said she has been or gilly has said it. also she has been shown being tired which is a symptom.
i am not liking all the negativity on this thread about as Carly has done a brilliant job so far. as some one who has been through cancer before it is realistic and very touching seeing steph going through it and her friendship with louis is good.
i agree that its not the best way for steph to go but her leaving without tom would be unrealistic. also i think the writing is good.
sorry for ranting but it needed to be said after some of the bad comments on here. i really hope she gets an award next yr.
erm care to explain how it is obvious the results were mixed up?
umm apologies if I've got this wrong but hasn't Steph got cervical cancer? Would be rather odd then if the results were mixed up with a male :rolleyes:
Suprised not alot of people agree but I knew Carley would do this storyline justice.
Plus it would be fitting since Carley/Steph has been in the show for 10 years.
