Worst acting in a UK soap: Who is the Weakest Link? Who can't act for toffee? Who is more WOODEN than wood? It's up to you!

With a doubt it has to be Kate Ford (Corrie's Tracy Barlow). She can't deliver her lines with any semblance of professionalsim & the constant grinning & gurning is very off putting. The expressions on her face rarely match the dialogue she's been given & she's completely lost when it comes to scenes that require any sort of emotional input.

She's so wooden she should make sure she keep well away from any naked flames.....

If you count The Bill as a soap then Todd Carty is one of the worst actors around, he's more wooden than a tree!!

I can't decide between Nick and Katie from Coronation Street, they are both dreadful.

I have never been a fan of Vicki, but I think her acting has improved alot, I thought she was really, really great tonight (Fri 12th) in the scenes with Sharon and Dennis.

My worst actor would be EE - Ronny F
Corrie - Nick

I think the bloke who plays Connor in Neighbours has got to be one of the worst actors on TV as a whole, not just in Soaps. They seem to be trying to make him into some sort of comedy actor which he is totally incapable of. Very, very bad.

Corrie:Bev, Tracey (Can't do emotions), Charlie, Nick, Katie, Sarah-Lou, Sophie Webster (She acts as if she's reading her lines constantly and grins at inappropriate moments)
Eastenders:Vicki (Sophisticated young lady .... my ass), Dan Ferreira (Can't speak without shouting and pulling faces)
Neighbours:Erm, the whole cast, especially Jack Scully and David Bishop!

I don't think the actor is that bad at all to be honest. He portrays his character very effectively.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned the awful Marc from Family Affairs! Or could that be because nobody watches that programme?

Vicki isn't bad considering she was told to lose the American accent suddenly. Sharon (Letitia Dean) is far worse actor imo.

I think Chris Parker [Spencer, EastEnders] is a pretty bad actor and Barbara Windsor [Peggy, EastEnders] is a bad actress.

OK worst actors (sorry don't know people's real names)-

Katy Harris who pauses... in the middle of sentences.....like shes trying to remember her line.

And Dev alanhan who starts off talking AND SUDDENLY STARTS SHOUTING FOR NO REASON and then goes quiet again.

Everybody in Emmerdale and Hollyoaks but I put a lot of it down to bad writing and cliched dialogue.

As already mentioned wooden Nick Platt who's trying to get by just on looks but the "pretty boy" thing does nothing for me.

This is too easy!!!

Zoe in Eastenders is dreadful, the only thing she can do effectively is grimace. Nick Cotton was always brilliant although despite efforts to the contrary with certain other cast memebers I guess bringing him back from the dead is really out of the question.

I thought he supposedly topped himself after that? Have I confused him with a different character? If that's true then brilliant, my dream could still come true!
