Ever since his return I've noticed this.

His accent is all over the place.
He puts emphasis on odd parts of his sentences.
He seems to have one expression.

I'm aware this is an unpopular opinion, but I've been wondering if anyone feels the same.

I loved him back then , but it almost as if he doesnt want to be acting out this story. he knows that the end of it means his unemployment.

I think he is much better this time round, is he is the best actor in EE? no, but he isn't the worst.

When he's talking all the words get tuned out by the heavenly chorus of angels singing.

He's damned pretty. Who cares about his acting?!

I agree. He seems very vacant and it's almost as if I can see Matt thinking "why did I come back" every time I'm meant to be watching Dean.

I agree, but on a scale of Best to Worst, I think he veers more to the worst side.

I actually find his portrayal as Dean the rapist quite good. He seems detached and quite cold in his emtions
Not the best actor but doing a good job this time around

I find him a bit crappy sometimes but other times like tonights episode he was magnificent and really convincing.

I guess it depends on the day.

His acting is nothing to write home about, but compared to Danny Dyer you can really see that Di Angelo is the superior actor by far.

No way! Danny is fantastic and very understated.

Matt actually looks like he is constipated most of the time and forever has a 'smell the fart' face.

Agree with what you've said about Matt, but Danny has been made to look good by all the luxuries the tptb have awarded his character.
It's very hard to dislike his character traits, which contributes to making people think he's a good actor .

Me too. I have often found his acting to be wooden.

I have to disagree. There is some very good actors in EastEnders but the fact that Danny Dyer keeps on getting awarded for looking half asleep and mumbling his lines 90% of the time is an absolute embarrassment to the acting community.

It is times like this that it is no wonder soap acting is looked down on.

Linda Henry and Kellie Bright carried that episode, imo. Brilliant actresses.

The only time that I ever have been merely impressed with DD's acting during his time on the show was when he was enraged over the Christmas period. But that doesn't say much about his acting because he is typecast with the 'hardman' persona. It only proves that he is nothing more than a one trick pony and is extremely limited in his range of different kinds of emotion.

He is one of the worst actors on the show. His breakdown scenes when Shirley did a runner after shooting Phil were hilarious, when they were meant to be sad and emotional. and he was shockingly worse in the episode where he raped Londa.

But he is one of those actors who i have said a few times before here on the soap forum. He doesn't act. He simply shows up, recites his lines in front of a camera and goes home. There is zero effort or passion when he acts.

This.

Take the actor who plays Lee for example, he's the one who only has one facial expression. Matt is miles better.
