Completely agree, he's always stood out (to me, at least) as a rather charismatic and capable actor, when all too often people without a juicy storyline are just 'there' he acts very well facially too, you can see when he thinks Tracy's nastiness is going too far etc. So now he's had something to get his teeth into, he's shone.
I think his accent is better too, at first he was a bit 'Liam Gallagher' in his pronunciations but now he sounds very natural, I think I detected a slight Dudley/Black Country twang when hearing him interviewed so his naturalised Manc accent is rather good now.
for content; since coming back from her exams or whatever, the actress who plays Faye isn't nearly as atrocious, she actually speaks like a real-life person now , whereas before she spoke in an odd monotone with weird inflections. She's not great, but improved vastly.
