If Ben Price left Corrie would you want them to re-recast Adam Rickitt?

Apologies, my tired eyes read that totally wrong.
I think returning to adam's Nick would ruin the current character development we have had.

A huge & massively obese NOOOO!!!! Not that struck on Ben Price but Rickett was there purely for his looks, he couldn't act his way out of a torn paper bag!!!

No, I don't think Adam Rickitt could really handle the complex character as he is now, a lot of development would likely be lost. The character could be recast again if course, but I think Ben Price has done a fine job and stayed put for long enough that he's earned the right to call Nick his own for a long while yet.

NO...NO..NO...........................i quite like Ben Price...the problem is we don't see enough of him.....It tends to be the same old characters over and over again....it's all so tedious and boring.

Ooooh go on then. Just for the sh*ts and giggles... Seriously though, no way. AR was a terrible actor and even during tough scenes, he just whined his way through them unable to convey much emotion.

It’s a no from me too, although I have never been a fan of Ben Price for some reason he irritates me and I wouldn’t him to be recast by another actor either as it would diminish any realism.

I would rather Ben Price continue in the role as I can just about cope with my dislike of him…..we can’t like them all can we.

No. I may think Nick looks like a grandad but the actor is good.

Ben Price is an awful actor. His performances in Nick's storyline when he changed and went a bit violent after his accident were dreadful. He was dreadful in Footballer's wives as well. He makes Bill Roache looks like an oscar winning actor. Not bothered who plays Nick as long as they can act

I can't take to him in Corrie. To me, his scowls and face scrunching is on a par with Miss Eyerolling-Foldy-Arms

No, I think Ben Price has done well in the role and (in my opinion) did great during his brain damage storyline, I do hope it will be revisted and not swept under the carpet. So I don't want Rickett back, from my understanding he was only introduced for sex appeal. If Ben does leave I hope they keep the door open for him.

Yes I can't stand Ben Price's "acting", the range of which consists of frowning slightly, to frowning fully. Oh, and sighing.

Adam Rickitt wasn't a great actor either, but since neither of them were good at least he's nicer to look at and also looks like right age!
