    Nice attempt. But we all know his character has all the charm of a steaming pile of dogshite with a lollystick in it.
    I am being kind, there.

    I agree he is such a star thank you JR_THELEGEND :)

    I agree too.
    he's a traumatic life so far so he's entitled to be a bit stroppy.

    What? He's more wooden than Dev. He is to acting what Stan Ogden was to hang gliding.

    ...and you are to comedy.

    This thread has to be a joke right!?

    He's a little demon brat. It doesn't matter if he did have a shit life he needs to get over it and grow the **** up. He lost his mother and got another one and could of had another in Carla and got his Dad back yet he still bitches and whines about nonsense.

    Too right Mo, like the one in Scum. That'll serve him right for being an annoying little twerp.

    Thank you mo :)

    I just don't see how anyone can tolerate this child theres no excuse for his behaviour. Carla was the only one out of the lot of them to notice what he is and how evil he can be yet none of them have noticed.


    He truly is the antichrist. Seeded from an alkie and raised by a bottom feeding ****.

    The kid is cute, but his character "Simon" is a pain in the azz, Let Roy clip him around the ear with one of his rolls, that'll sort him out!!! grrr...:P :D

    The character is a complete ^^^^, and the "actor" who plays him hasn't got a clue.
    Just look at his eyelines when he is delivering his lines.
    All over the place!

    He plays the part extremely well. Great young talent.

    I actually disagree on this one. He's very precocious and "stage school" and not at all a natural.

    The other young black lad (can't remember his name, but he was the son of the bald guy who had a brain tumour) was a far better actor.

    We are talking about the character not Alex. I don't get why Corrie write Simon as a, know it all spoilt brat with no manners.

    Exactly.

    I can totally understand the child has had a really difficult time and experienced thiings he should not have to at his age but there is still no need for bad manners. Or rather, if he is bad mannered, even if partly due to traumatic experiences, why does Leanne seem to encourage it? Even when talking to his headmaster, who has nothing to do with the family situation, he was incredibly rude and ignorant.

    The adults have a lot to make up to him but they are letting him believe he is the absolute king who must not be crossed at any cost.

    The result is an extremely unpleasant child.

    LOL! I feel like Beth from the factory who is cheering on Carla and Leanne when they had a fight!

    Go on Kirk say it how it is! I hope he gets locked out one night - and the Meerkats eat him:D

    You people don't seem to realise, he's just a kid. Kids are fickle, they talk back and they're rude. Some kids are like that, it's not Simon's fault if he isn't told off, it's Leanne and Peters.

    Also, Alex is a pretty good little actor for his age, imo.

    Do you remember when he (Alex) turned to Chris Gasgoyne at an awards event and could clearly be seen to say 'you was robbed' when Chris didn't get the award he was up for?

    I have 2 and find him a vile obnoxious brat. These ridiculous storylines of him hopping on buses and navigating his way to airports does not do him any favours:mad:

    It's the writers, SL's fault making the actor respond to the awful situations he finds himself in. I think he reallydoes the job well.

    When he eventually leaves the series, it will be to join NASA.
