Ive justwatched the last ep of corrie tonight, and they seem to have the worst extras. The preist tonight was completely unconvincing and poorly acted. Another great example is the nursewho told janis that dennis? here bf anyway was dead by saying "its over love". Terrible! Brookie was allways convincing with their extras and by far had the best and most realistic, ee and emerdale joint second. One or two poor extras is understamdable, but corries always seem poor. What does everyone else think?

Aren't the roles you've said "guest actors" rather than extras. Aren't extras the ones who make up the background crowd, ie, Rovers drinkers or "man in shop browsing" etc. They're generally not really in the acting profession as such, whereas the bit parters you mention are more so.

The word "Extras" isn't used in soaps it is Supporting Artists" .
Guest Actors are the ones who have small roles
