Max Braning. The character is really unconvincing. Andhe seems to have one facial expression that fits all.

Neil McDermott is probably the worst actor

I would say its a toss up between Scott Maslen, Steve John Shepard(Michael Moon) and Neil McDermott - all are pretty poor actors imo.

I'm surprised by that. Everything he does seems very natural to me (the one exception to that being the vomiting incident in the live episode).

The new actress who plays Lauren Branning gets my vote for the worst member of the current cast.

that shouldn't come in to how good of an actor he is cos it was purely the camera's fault and its hard to make yourself sick

There is a lot mediocrity in the soap at the moment.

On the contrary it has the best cast (by far) of any of the soaps.

The worst actor (excluding the young kids) is probably Marc Elliot.

I actually think he's the best actor in the whole thing

I know she's longstanding but Janine does nothing for me. and got to agree, I think Marc Elliot constantly underacts. Not saying he hasn't got it in him, just that he doesn't seem to give it 100 percent.

I think Charlie Brooks [Janine] is a fine actress.

Umm, worst actor for me? Hmm...Probably a toss up between Marc and Neil.

I've just realised in you saying that that Janine isn't male oops. Of course each to their own, maybe it's the character I can't stand

I actually quite like Ryan, for no reason other than his acting ability alone

Toss-up between Steve John Shepherd, Scott Maslen and Neil McDermott for me. They might be good in other things but I just find them all really wooden in EE, and it doesn't help that they play really dull and uninspiring characters.

It's a tie between Max and Jack Branning. In fact the whole Branning unit have become as annoying as the Mitchells were. Get rid of them I say.

Jack and Lauren Branning, and Michael Moon. Three actors that have a smirky grin on their faces constantly, but can't act to save themselves.

Yeah, it might just be the character. Charlie's other work has been amazing and got some fantastic reviews from press/critics in her previous performances.

She played a character on a show ages ago who had given birth to a still born and was praised for her performance. I can't remember the show (Casualty?) or the storyline much, just that she was great and SO different to Janine.

Jake Wood is an outstanding actor.

Why are people picking him as 'worst actor'...

Derek Martin wasn't the best and last night's scenes between Scott Maslen and Steve John Shepherd were embarrassing

Suprised at Max/Jake getting a few votes.

As with the other thread for actress, some people seem be saying 'the worst' because they dont like the actor in question. There is a difference.

I like Scott M(seems like a nice bloke)-but as an actor

Shane Richie not much good either.
