Ben Hardy is a SHIT actor, I'm sorry! Adam Woodyatt and Laurie Brett and Diane Parish have carried out this Lucy storyline, so far.

He's a prick. And a boring prick to boot. It's a shame because he started out as a nice guy but there isn't anything remotely nice about him anymore. Ben Hardy's acting has become incredibly wooden. He and Lauren (in fact Lauren with any bloke) are ill matched. They don't gel together in the slightest. Lauren is a character we've gotten to know very well and I honestly can't imagine Peter being someone she'd be in love with at this stage in her life. As usual she's been put with someone just because they look good together.

I think the issue is that there's next to no emotion shown, I'm not sure whether this is an issue with Ben Hardy himself or the character of Peter that he's trying to portray.
IMO his reaction outside The Vic when Ian went to collect him and inform him about Lucy was a weird one, even though I don't suppose you would know how to act in that situation. He just seems rather clueless in scenes, like when Lauren and him were being stalked and having photographs taken of them in the previous weeks episodes, he just seemed really dry and less caring than you would be. |

either Peter leaves or features very very little! And I seriously hope they haven't brought Laurie Brett back just so Jane is Lucy's killer! I don't want to loose Jane, she's great! And her and Ian make a good couple! I hope they reunite soon!

Isn't it because his friend died in the sea and its "his fault"...maybe a good twist would be Lucy's killer is a new character related to Peter's friend who wanted revenge

Ben Hardy's acting is AWFUL! He's one of the worst in the show! Thomas Law was 1000x better, Ben Hardy doesn't even have a cockney accent, whereas Thomas Law did, Ben Hardy has a deep, posh accent, which just doesn't suit Peter, it's all so ****ed up! The Peter who left in 2010, has not returned IMO!

Just weird, you can't see it? Just all the time strange and angry even when he shouldn't be
I actually think Ben Hardy is a very good, understated actor. I thought it before the Lucy death storyline, one of the first things I said when it came out what they were doing was that it would give Woodyatt and Hardy a chance to shine and I don't think he's 04:02:19 us down. But as per the thread earlier this evening acting is very much in the eye of the beholder. |

Don't forget that Ian has always had ideas above his st*tion, is it so odd that some of that would go to Peter? |

I really dislike Peter now and don't think much of Ben's acting either. Old Peter was much better.

Peter used to be a sweet guy. He might still have been salvageable after he turned into Ian junior but unfortunately he fell in love with Lauren. Lauren and Pe'uh will be insufferable together. Both are shallow, self absorbed, self righteous hypocrites and just like their fathers. I suspect we will be subjected to cheesy romantic gestures, discussions of their fathers' moral failings and scenes where this super couple try to unite their families and lecture them into behaving themselves.

The trouble with Jacqueline Jossa is that she's a good actress, and I don't think she's ever used to her strengths! She's always hopping into bed with everyone, and gets put in pointless relationships! She's basically just used for sex appeal! The same applies with Whitney! Peter is just AWFUL! I'm hoping this Lucy storyline will mean a departure for Peter, without Lucy, Peter is nothing IMO! It's Cindy's turn now!

Ben Hardy is a pretty poor actor. He drones his way through his scenes with little or no facial expression. Whether he's saying 'I love you' or ordering a coffee there is no difference in his delivery. I find most of the young men dull and lacking in any sort of charisma, but he and Liam are the worst of them. I'm not denying that he's managed a couple of fairly decent scenes since he arrived but it's not enough for such a major character.
We have some exciting young female talent in the show, but they are let down by all these Ricky Butcher clones. |

I'm convinced he's got some sort of mental illness and that he killed Lucy in an irrational moment of anger.
It's possible he doesn't even remember it. Or he's just a generally shit actor and comes across as angry when he's just trying to be intense. |
