Seriously, what is Corrie thinking!
I just fast forward all his scenes, they are truly terrible.

He really can't act, no idea why he was cast.

I'm a few episodes behind on Corrie at the moment but I must say I don't think he's too bad! It was a bit cringey when I saw the scene on him doing Gail's rockery but other than that, I see him as his character now rather than Les Dennis.

I keep waiting for him to do his Mavis impression. And coy eye fluttering flirting from Gail just turns my guts. Its gross and it needs to stop.

Never been a fan but now that I've got over thinking of him as Les Dennis I think he's pretty good.

I'm with you on this. She and Eileen should always be single, a lot of women their age are so why not in soapland too?

Gail and Des are hilarious. They're like a couple of simple-minded idiots the way they simper and giggle together. I'm looking forward to seeing their romance develop, though I will look away if they start smooching

I like him too, but like the previous poster, I keep waiting for him to morph into Mavis Riley - his own voice doesn't sound too far removed to me

I'm actually enjoying Les Dennis - he's one of the few current plus points. The scene with Helen Worth where they discussed Ice Creams was one of the funniest (and underlyingly filthiest) scenes that Corrie has done recently.

Des is a fantastic character, totally evil to the core. The way he just cruelly locked Maxeh in that shed and let Kylie off her leash to tear it down was magical to watch. Long live the Lennis!

He can't act. Helen Worth is completely showing him up.

I'm liking Des at the moment. He's a good fit for the Street.

That was just a plot device to make sure people were outside when the bailiffs called at the Windbags house to collect the debt.

I'm enjoying the part he's playing and his acting is fine to me.

Yes, I thought so too. He and Gail could be great together. The sooner she gets some backup and support against the evil Kylie and Demon's bullying, the better. She deserves some happiness for a change.

Will he get with Gail and marry her and then die?

I'm reserving judgement on Michael. We need a lot more back story before I can accept his 'good man' schtick. And unlike Gail, I can have enough of him soaking Julie with his massive hose.

His new career as an ice-cream-van man was inspired though. He's just the right mix of sweet and unsavoury.

Oh I do want something to work out for Gail... but Michael makes Soup Kitchen look a catch...

I just keep thinking "How will it all go wrong?"

Her husbands/boyfriends always end up suicidal, murderous or some mixture of the two.

I think she has a competition with Carla as to who can attract the most loonies.

Very wise. Look at the effect them snogging had on Nick last night!


I like him and feel a bit sorry for him. FGS, what's their problem? She's had a serial killer for a husband, a useless thief is nothing in comparison! (if that's all he turns out to be of course).

I really hope nothing goes wrong this time, but if it does, I can't deny I can see shades of AccidentalMurdererStapemeister in Des.

He's not that bad but that simpering lovey-dovey expression Gail puts on in every scene she has with him just makes me want to vom. Urrrgghhh.

Not sure if turn of phrase or 50 shades of grey sequel
