Leanne and Carla in my opinion are the only two are great actresses and great performances since the tram so for four years they have been carrying the show.

Peter gone down in my estimation

Deadwood character
dev
sally never liked her
tyrone
maria
kirk

I am saying on performance wise not storylines

Sorry, but I disagree totally. Carla's totally inconsistent in her treatment of people, while leanne is just a pain, and has been for years now. I really wish they'd write her out.

i agree that carla and leanne are top of the crop. both alison and jane are superb. i like sally, i think it was genius pairing tim and sally together and i like kirky and beth together.

chris is playing a blinder as peter. great performance. i also like the damaged nick. ben price has brought something new to the role. i also like shifty rob, marc mayliss is very good in the role. i am not sure about the new nazir family. they haven't jelled. corrie have tried to do what eastenders did with the masoods, but it hasn't work for corrie.

No one in Corrie is a superb or a great actor. What they do have are some very good actors who keep the programme going. However, they also have a fair few awful actors and they along with some ludicrous SORs/SLs make Corrie laughable.

i agree with what you say, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the acting.

Carla is very watchable but I can't bear that vicious harpy Leanne.

Other way round. Corrie's been carrying Carla since day one. High time she returned the favour - only she can't.
I think Leanne is OK. Not brilliant, but OK as soap actresses go.

I wish they would give Jane something better to do, other than this Kal/Nick/Leanne SL.

I agree there....she's a great actress but needs better stories......I think Corrie has some of the best actors and actresses in soapland that's why even with such poor S/L it manages to stay at the top....

Corrie is at its best when Alison King is at the forefront of the show. Whenever she has a bit of a break, it gets boring.

You could be right - I've just re-read the OP, and it starts off about actresses and performance. Then deviates to characters, before ending up on "performances".

The problem with threads like this is that the OP cannot distinguish between character and actress. In my opinion, both the characters o Carla and Leanne are not at their best at the moment but both actresses are superb.

[quote=sally_bowles;74434145]can you tell me the difference between a very good actor and a great actor? are you not splitting hairs![/QUOTE]

BIB Splitting hairs? No!

There are lots of great actors. To name a few - Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Daniel Day Lewis, Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins etc........ Corrie actors are just not in the same league but that's not to say they don't have some very good actors. So the difference should be pretty clear. Can you tell me of any Corrie actor who can compare or better any of those named here? Is there anyone you can see collecting an Oscar, Laurence Olivier or Tony award?

And BTW Judi Dench was Sally Bowles in the original Lonon cast!

I have to agree. They're brilliant actresses. Especially Ali King
