The two kids are ok. The girl especially (though maybe i'm biased because she's so hot)

The adults are appalling

The grandmother is appalling. Grandad doesn't do a lot. Whenever I see the dad, I think of the film 'The Guru' and the kids are dull. The son is quite hot tho.

They are truly dire aren't they? I think they should get rid of the whole lot of them because they don't bring anything at all to the Street.

The daughter is fit, but that's the single thing the entire family have going for them.

Why do you have to say "Asian family" would you describe any new family as the new "black family" or "white family". For what it's worth I think they are awful but not because they are Asian, but because the writing is awful as is he acting, but then so are most of the families in Corrie.

Seems like EDL/UKIP has taken over the soap section as well.

It's more to the point Asian family's don't have a good history of lasting long in soaps

I would rather you call them new family. No need to mention their race, as though it is the reason they haven't worked out.

I think the woman who plays Alya is a very poor actress. Kal is as dull as anything and has really dragged Leanne down with him. When did Leanne become so boring? She was a great character when she was with Peter and had all the love square stuff going on with Carla and Nick.

The grandparents don't look old enough to have adult grandchildren and Kal doesn't look old enough to be their dad. Kal should have been the boy and girls older brother and the grandparents the parents of all three of them.

You implied it by mentioning their race, which has no relevance.

I've said this on another thread, but the actors playing a Muslim family are going to be on a Christmas edition of Family Feud against actors from Emmerdale. It seems Stuart Blackburn is hell bent on forcing this family on us.

Exactly how I see the family the kids are great but the grown ups are terrible, and the girl forgot her name is stunning.

Ouch!

Wow. What are you trying to say, a Muslim family shouldn't be in a Christmas special because they are Muslim?

I don't watch CS so are they even Muslim?

I think Kal is the main problem to be honest!! I don't know if it's how he's been told to act but Jimi Mistry (an already established actor) plays every scene like he's bored to death & would rather be somewhere else!! He was brought in first as like the figurehead for the family with all the others kind of appearing one by one to build on his back story & let's face it, it is quite an interesting story!! Ex army man with a wife who died we know not how, but hints it concerns him or his lifestyle in some way, the girl who he tries to dominate & the boy who very obviously has a big issue with his Mum's death!! The overbearing matriarch sticking her oar into everyone's business!! This could have been powerful interesting drama except for one thing... the main character was just so damn boring, beige & bland that we'd lost all interest before the family even started to arrive & all the back stories are lost completely because of it!! Before anyone jumps down my throat I don't care if they're muslim, asian, black or white, they are just horrendously boring the lot of them!!

I'm not the person you're responding to but I hate this non-argument. It's akin to saying "You don't agree with me so shut up." I find the Nazir's incredibly dull, the mother is a pest and the daughter's acting leaves a lot to be desired. But I've watched Coronation Street for years and I'm still going to for the time being.
