Hi, what do you guys think of Bob Hope in Emmerdale - as an actor, not a character.

For me, he makes me cringe! I just cannot watch him.

Notice how everything he says, he wriggles his hands and goes OTT with hand movement.

Its not natural to be throwing your hands about when acting is it.

What do you guys think?

He's a very good actor, both comic and otherwise.

BUT the current storyline is diabolical and about as funny as smashed kneecaps. It seems they're playing up to Bob's character traits WAY too much and he's almost become a caricature lately...

No problems otherwise though, some scenes are funny (and like I say, everythnig before this storyline). Plus Im sure the Open Mic night itself will be a laugh, given that him and Viv win together, unintentionally...

I think the actor who plays Bob is just great! He never fails to make me laugh! Bob isn't suppose to be a serious character, although he does have his moments, he is there as an entertaining character who is always messing around and joking!

He IS OTT, but that's how he is suppose to play the character. Him and Viv are THE perfect combination! Can't wait to see the Open Mic night tomorrow!

Long live Bob Hope!

I think the actor is great too- I think the attributes the OP refers to are what makes Bob, well, Bob.

Paddy makes me cringe the most with his sad jokes, no wonder they never give him a decent storyline.

I think it's the character you don't like. He is an actor playing a part and following instructions. If he was doing it wrong they would tell him.

Bob and Terry in Emmerdale are both really irritating and make me cringe, especially Bob in last nights episode
