Alison King is such a fantastic actress
Alison is so ridiculously underrated it's just criminal! Just caught up on the last few weeks and she has been absolutely flawless since the Tina reveal. From the raw emotion of losing the baby, to her rage towards Peter and she's one of the best drunks I've seen on any soap! Looking back over the past few years she has effortlessly pulled off so many amazing storylines and yet she hasn't seemed to be acknowledged that much at all bar one Best Actress gong a few years back at the Soap Awards.

Completely agree, until the Tina storyline I've never taken much notice to Carla. These past few weeks she has been, and still is one of my favourite characters in Corrie. Her scenes are very realistic and she is brilliant at her role, as you say she can pull off any storyline with ease and is good at acting with emotions

She's even looking awful these days which is in keeping with what she's going through.

Incredible actress who really has come to the forefront of the show since the Tina storyline begun.

I think she is a great actress . I didn't really realised this until recently . She's got a brilliant way of making you feel Carla's emotions . It was upsetting seeing her with Roy when she lost the baby , and then this week when she was drunk , I was cringing for her . There's so many here nor there characters, sophie , maddie , fiz etc at present .

Alison King is incredible. Carla is one of the most popular characters in the show and that is down to Alison's fantastic acting. The miscarriage was heartbreaking to watch, the way she stared at the nurse when she told her she lost it was brilliantly acted. There are very few actors who can act like that on a soap. The expressions and her sublility is what makes her stand out from many other actors and put her in a league of her own.
I for one hope she gets more reginition because she really deserves it. Then again so many actors don't receive the reginition they deserve. |

Completely agree, right now I would consider her the best actor in soap, she is literally carrying the show by herself (on the drama side I mean, I must say the comedy recently had been even better than normal). She deserves to win the NTA next year, even though the public will probably go for Adam Woodyatt.

Alison plays Carla well.
Still cannot stand the character though. |

Have you not been watching long? She's been a high profile character for years.
![]() I have no clue why, because she is truly brilliant and as I said on an above post, she has quickly made her way into my favourites! |

She's basically a two trick pony, the angst when things are going wrong - usually a regular event, and the delight of the "power" woman with her business etc
That's about it |

She's fantastic when compared to the vast majority of soap actresses.

Have to say I haven't watched Corrie in years but I was an avid viewer of Dream Team and she was brilliant as Linda Block on that!

Thought we saw glimpses of Carla at her best tonight, but can't help but feel the writers wasted an opportunity with her and Rob.

She's good but is often given bad material.
