I read recently that Kate Ford was widely regarded as the worst actress in Corrie. I have to disagree. That accolade in my opinion goes to Anne Kirkbride. All you ever get is " OOOHHHH Ken !" and a load of tearless crying . She is truly appalling and as much as the actress is admired by friends and fans, it is time the scriptwriters took her off the street permanently.

I don't watch much television and have not seen much of Coronation Street for a very long time.

She was rather natural last time I saw her.

Totally totally agree. Just can't stand the character though, I quite like Anne Kirkbride and wouldn't want her out

Deirdre is great, apart from her current stupidity regarding Tracy, that is!

I love Deirdre, and want her to stay forever so I can watch her turn into a Cardacian (have you seen her neck lately? It kinda weirds me out, I keep waiting for a vein to burst).

Nevertheless, apart from her total blindness to Tracylov (but that can and should be put down to a mother's unconditional love), Deirdre has earned her place on th'Cobbles, bad acting or no.

And wasn't she the first soap character mentioned Parliament? Fabulous. Go girl!!!!

Deirdre is amazing! I think all the dislike on here for her is generated by her association with Tracy.

She is a Corrie legend, just like Gail, who is also underrated on here!

she's brill, well apart from recently with the whole Tracy storyline which makes her a bit pathetic. Loved how last year the writers were giving her funny lines similar to Blanche. I thought they were going to make her more like her but seemed to have stalled a bit now. Loved it when she was flanned and the 'custard cream' line to dishy doc when Gail had been sacked

She's fantastic! Totally over the top and not a great actress but it suits the character to a tee.

I don't get your point OP - literally half of the Corrie cast are average actors at best. Corrie is more about the characters' eccentricites than the acting abilities of the people portraying them.

I love Deirdre, but think that Tracy returning ruins the character for me. I prefer the Weatherfield One to Maria, Carla, Michelle and boring Gary Windass any day of the week.
