I have watched leanne over the last 15 years since she joined and I got to say I tihnk she is underated as an actress especially the tram crash.

Do you disagree or agree?

No, she is overrated. The character she plays is a two bit brass who nobody likes. She deserves a son like Simon. He, in turn, deserves a mum like Leanne.

Certainly - a brass is a colloquial name for a prostitute which is what Leanne was for quite a while whereas the term "two bit" simply means of poor quality or low value. The latter is my subjective opinion which, I appreciate, not everyone agrees with.

ok thank for letting me know I think her character is shown to have a poor living life plus the struggle in life.

No she is overrated, she's a one trick pony. Struggles when it comes to anything that isn't about relationships and sex.

Possibly.

I have always thought that Jane portrays each character that she plays extremely well, putting heart and soul into it.

In Corrie ? I like Tracy and Steve but not many of the others. I really loathe Tyrone, Dierdrie, Emily, Dennis and Tina. Platty has his moments but he has stopped being evil which disappoints me. He was walking on water when he tried to push Gail down the stairs. What about you ?

She was fantastic 2009-2011 for a while it was a real change for the character,showed a different side becoming a wife and mother a bit of progression instead of regression but sadly she has slipped back her and Peter worked well together but now she with Nick and her other family it just ain't the same, she is underrated though I think when she is given the chance she performs well.

I got to say her best work is with Carla, Peter and Nick but I got to say I do think her working with Stella it bring out another side but her acting as been great

I think the actress is quite different from the character she portrays in Coronation Street.

No.

Paula Lane is underrated but Kylie has been cruelly underused, so much so that the actress hasn't made the NTA shortlist even though she does finally have a big story line coming up.

I believe that Jane D is a very good actress and is nothing like the hypocritical, spiteful, sanctimonious cow (otherwise known as saint Leanne) that she plays.
