I absolutely love Claire King as a person and actress, but I think with how Corrie is at the moment, she is wasted on the show.

All we are seeing is a party girl who is having a relationship with Nick Tilsley. Unless they have anything for her to sink her teeth into coming up, she is absolutely wasted on here.

This is a woman who plays bitch roles (Kim in Emmerdale) and strong women (Karen in Bad Girls), not a spare part actress ffs.

She'd be better off returning to "Emmerdale" saying she faked her death

I kind of agree but I like seeing Claire King playing something a bit different because I've always liked her.

And she can go back to Emmerdale because Kim isn't dead - last we saw she flew off in a helicopter and I think she set flowers when Seth Armstrong died we live in hope!

I thought she died! Must have got her confused with something else. Yes, I guess Ms King would not want to be type-cast, but her character just adds nothing so far.

she was just brought in for a guest stint and the nick affair so you wont see much yet but they have extended her contract so there may be more substance to her as time goes on

Thanks for this - fingers crossed she gets something meaty to dig her claws into.

Winding Gail up is far from a waste in my opinion. Erika is becoming my new favourite character

Bit impatient aren't you she's barely been around 5 mins I'm sure in 2015 we will see a lot more of her

Because her stint was short, i don't expect we were meant to be a see a full fleshed out developed character. But with confirmation she is coming back, i am sure Claire King won't be as wasted as she has been. I do like Erika. But lumping her with Nick is a no no for me.

She did die in 1997 but then they wanted to bring her back so they came up with an elaborate faked death story. Her return episode was fantastic.

I am ok with her so far and if her contract has been expanded then she has the potential to become a more rounded character.

In Gail's eyes she is obviously not good enough for her Nick which I am finding amusing

An extremely dull woman, both in real life and as an actress. A total let down in the Big Brothers house after telling us how wild she was going to be.

She is a diamond in a very rough patch for Corrie.

She is pretty pointless and cant see the point of bringing her in just to have a love interest for Nick who will soon be moping around Sour Lemon Face Leanne again I bet. Dont want to sound horrible but she looks pretty odd looking these days, unlike the Kim Tate days when she was stunning. Too much Botox I suspect.
