Ken Barlow--William Roache
I hope i am not a minority of one her but having watched, the scenes this week with Ken and Deirdre this has just confirmed my thoughts. What an appalling actor, William Roache is.
How has he managed to last for over 50 years I will never know. This is not an new observation, I have watched Corrie for over 30 years and apart from Dev he must be one of the worst actors ever. is he still in the cast because they are too afraid to get rid of him? Any thoughts |

He used to be better, as did Anne Kirkbride.

Those pictures are great, reminds me of a young Roger Moore. Explains his success with the ladies, definitely

Anne Kirkbride may over act but at least she does something. All William Roache seems to do is change facial expressions, well a choice of about 3 and bring his finger to his chin
Are the producers scared to kill him off, or are they happy with the respect they get for having the worlds longest serving character |

I reckon he can act and he has got some expressions just not many.

My thoughts have always been that maybe he needs rehearsal - something several corrie actors have said there's rarely time for these days.
