I can't take Callum seriously as a bad boy - he's too camp. He'd be more suited as Todd's new love interest

I think if he had the army hair cut and less facial hair like the actor did in Our Girl he might "look the part" a bit morem

When he was "threatening" Kylie in the alleyway, he was actually bitching to her about her split ends in his camp voice. About as threatening as elmo from sesame street.

I find the actor playing fake Gavin much more convincing.

He's absolutely woeful. He seems to think he's in a panto, but judging by the standard of acting portrayed by almost all Corrie newcomers this year, perhaps he is.
His ludicrous, dated and painfully bad dialogue doesn't help one iota. Even Kenneth Branagh would struggle with such diabolical dreck. |

Not convinced by the actor's suitability for the role nor the character. He's a pretty bland and unintimidating "bad boy" and is poor compared to the current batch of soap bad boys at the moment.
What I don't get is why every bad boy has to be rugged and "hot" all the time in every soap. I'd like to see a Grant Mitchell style bad boy who actually looks and acts the part, rather than a pretty boy trying too hard to play tough. Corrie should've brought back the loan shark who terrorised Joe McIntryre, and who now plays Trevor Royle in Hollyoaks. |

He's quite easy on the eye. Not as easy as fakeGavin, but still...

Callum's voice is a bit camp so he doesn't sound very tough to me. Nice looking though.
I don't like fake Gavin's scaredy/bambi eyes. He always looks like he's about to take flight. Weren't these two supposed to be part of a gang of four new hunks? I think Zidan was another one but can't remember the fourth one. Can't say any of them do it for me

I think he's rubbish to be honest. The whole storyline is boring.

It was confirmed a few weeks ago that he impressed the bosses so much, they signed him on as a regular.

I don't know that I find him camp, but I certainly can't take anyone with a spoiler like that on their car seriously.

But at the moment Erica is little more than a caricature.
![]() I haven't noticed the campness people are talking about really, but I'll be glad when this storyline's over. The best thing about it was the last scene last night but it's getting boring having Kylie/David's relationship being threatened every Christmas. |
