She is no Suranne Jones in the acting department, she is on to a good thing with Becky.

I think she will regret this decision - who agrees?

No, she is a lot better than Suranne Jones, who has hardly lit the telly alight herself.

I have never understood all the Suranne Jones worship. She was hardly Meryl Streep herself.

Who said she was? she was undeniably one of the best actresses to come out of Corrie in the last decade though and she is far more talented than Katherine.

She's done alright if you ask me.

Kat Kelly has done other stuff and she'll get more work, if not on TV then in the theatre. She's probably set for life or for a good long while yet money-wise and will be able to do smaller projects that she enjoys. Don't waste your time worrying about somebody you don't know! I'm sure she's not.

She's RADA trained and a brilliant character actress. It's not her fault the scripts for Becky have been ropy for the past nine months. I think she'll do some interesting stuff after she leaves. She's a much better actress than Suranne Jones.

When Suranne Jones left Corrie she was given a £750,000 contract from ITV to do a number of projects they provided for her. I think it was 5, but I can't remember the number.

They might do the same for Kat Kelly, who knows.

Disagree, I rate Katherine far more highly. She has terrific range as an actress. Often she's not had the chance to show it with Becky but there have been those rare glimpses which prove to me that she's more than worth her weight in gold as an actress. I think she'll do well post-Corrie - whether that be TV, film or the theatre.

I agree with that. Suranne, as Karen, was good at screaming and screeching, but that's all I remember her for, in Corrie! I think Kat has a lot more range in her acting.

I don't care one way or another about the actress, but for pity sake that appalling creature Becky needs to go asap.

Katherine Kelly is RADA trained and a terrific actress. For me, her best scenes were screened a number of weeks ago where she fought viciously with Kylie at the Platts and subsequently broke down with Hayley- powerful acting.

She will have a career beyond the Street. Prior to her role on Corrie she appeared in shows such as Life On Mars, Last of the Summer Wine, Bodies and Silent Witness. I would have no fears for Katherine Kelly's post-Corrie career.

Suranne and Kelly are both good actresses. When someone from soap leaves you always get the obligatory 'they're not going to get much work' comments. Maybe they are doing it for a change or for personal reasons. Just because they are on the telly, it doesn't mean they are any different.

She has also been a lead actress for the Royal Shakespeare Company. So she must be a good actress.

The character of Rebecca has been lead up a blind alley with nowhere logical for her to go.

I have no problem with Katherine Kelly, I'm sure she's a great actress - but Becky has run her course, IMO. We have seen every side to the character because they have chucked every single story they can think of at her. A shame, Becky's a good character but it feels like the writers have tried to build her up into a Corrie legend like Elsie, Bet or Raquel in too short a time period. What she needed was proper development, instead we've had Becky-overload for five years

Suranne Jones? She the one with a face like a give way sign? KK knocks her out of the water. Becky is a bit old-hat now, yes, but still.

Suranne Jones has a major role in episode 4 of the new series of Doctor Who. I really can imagine Katherine Kelly going as far as that too and leaving Corrie IS a good decision. She can't help where the writers have taken Becky.

Becky was much better as the protector of Roy and Hayley. Roy and Hayley were protective of Becky.

A wonderful relationship

I agree on all accounts.

I am glad she is leaving it is the right time. The scriptwriters have ruined her character and the actress must be fed up playing her.

I think she is a brilliant actress and cant wait to see her in different roles.
