aka Lily Savage, for those who weren't sure.

This started off as a tiny rumour after the Soap Awards where he met Emmerdale bosses and said he wanted a part in a soap and apparently something would possibly be arranged...now it's turned into something a bit more solid, so might well be true.

I mean what the hell? Will anyone be able to take him seriously? Can he even act?? And a Dingle of all things, surely it just won't fit?! If this is indeed true, I hope any worries are soon expelled. But this could be disastrous!

If the other guys actually watched Emmerdale they would see it makes perfect sense, the guy looks/talks/behaves like a Dingle already.

It seems to me they're forgetting that Emmerdale is 50% panto.
That or they just like complaining for no reason.
Maybe both

What absolute utter nonsense. Emmerdale is my favourite soap and the humour is ahead of even Corrie these days in my book, so you're mistaken there I'm afraid.

He behaves and looks NOTHING like a Dingle, so he will have to pull off playing the part convincingly.
Peter Kay was a one-off. And frankly more beleivable a prospect anyway because he was a stand alone character. And a good actor.

As I SAID in my first post, I await and hope that any worries of him being a terrible addition will amount to nothing, I have not said he will be terrible for certain, I'm saying I'm worried he will be.

Yeah, I'd seen that a few days ago, though wasn't sure whether to post a link or anything because I couldn't remember if it was allowed or not, considering how funny they get over stuff like that here

I think you are OK to post a link as long as you don't post too many.
