Only just realised that James Barton in Emmerdale is the same guy who played Charlie Stubbs in Corrie!! Did anyone else know, or am I just being thick?!

I wouldn't be so rude as to answer that, but do you enjoy your life under the largest of rocks in the deepest of deep caves?

Yes I knew. I think most people that watch both did. It was highly publicized when he joined and he really doesn't look very different.

I think most viewers amazement comes from just how badly James is coming across given how fab he was as Charlie. Whether it is the character, how he's being written or if he just isn't 'right' for the part I can't decide but it's not working.

It confuses me too why he is coming across so badly, I loved it when he played Charlie Stubbs.

Don't feel daft about it buddy, I've only just realised the bloke who plays Sonia in EastEnders is the same chap who played Del Boy's brother Rodney.

I'm definitely one of those viewers - I thought he was great in Corrie but think he's terrible in ED. I think he's rather yummy though - (though not as yummy as Cain )

He was very yummy as Charlie (and his character in Footballers Wives) but it's not really coming across in Emmerdale. His having little or no chemistry with either Moira or Chas isn't helping. There just doesn't seem to be any charm or 'edge' to him as there was with Charlie even though i'm sure there is supposed to be.

Objectively he is still of course a very handsome man, especially compared to the rest of the Emmerdale cast (Cain excepted - i'm afraid none of the Barton boys are doing it for me - maybe they're too young for me although I do fancy Peter Beale in EE who is only 20) but not attractive somehow.

Chuckle!

Actually could be a money spinner for 'Sonia off of Eastenders' if she managed to get cast as Lyndhurst's daughter in something.

You have to remember that in Corrie, a lot of his scenes were with Tracy Barlow, and next to her a shop dummy would seem like a decent actor.
