CS - why is Faye that disliked?
Okay, I know she was annoying in the past, but I like her with Craig.
Perhaps not the best actress, but hardly any worse than most of the adult cast members. I'd like her friendship with Craig to continue a long time. Controversial opinion I know. ![]() Plus out of most of the family I am fine with her. |

She's Brooke Vincent's real life cousin so there's always been a whiff of nepotism around her.

I hated her , the fish episode was horrible, but she is an unwanted damaged child so it is the fault of the adults around her. I am warming to her now, poor thing, and Craig with her is just brilliant. I hope he helps her to tell her dad soon about the baby.
Her acting is ten times better than her useless cousin. |

Faye gets a ridiculously hard time on here. I love her and Craig but the idea she is such a bad actor and he is so good is based purely on who people like. They're bot on a par and they both fit fine in a soap which is full of very below par actors.

She's a terrible actress and it's a terrible storyline to give her imo.

I very briefly seen a scene of her talking about the baby and just leaving it at the hospital and I instantly found the childish naivety and the street slang she would use to be annoying. It's not fair to judge off of a brief scene but I know most of DS aren't fond of her and my mum, possibly the world's most tolerant Coronation Street fan thinks the actress is terrible!

The actress is pretty poor and she delivers her dialogue in a grating, whiney tone. The whole devil child introduction didn't exactly get the character off to a good start either.

Faye is playing a stroppy, moody whiney teenager, so not a likeable character, but obviously a good actress! |

She's not the best actress but she's actually not that bad. I don't get how lots of people say Faye is rubbish and Craig is fab! No offence to the actor who plays Craig but I honestly don't think he can act. Every line it sounds like he's reading from a script. I think Faye is better in my opinion.

Controversial opinion I know. ![]() Plus out of most of the family I am fine with her. Just her general characterisation annoys me, to be honest. She started off as the devil child splitting up Eddie and Anna, killing Owen's fish, then she moved on to being bratty with Grace and claiming she didn't want to bully Simon, but we heard her getting quite into it on the video that was filmed of her doing it. I just groan every time I see her on screen. The only good thing about her for me is that she brought Tim into the show, but it's a shame that she taints him and Craig. It also doesn't help that the girl playing her doesn't show a lot of depth to her scenes, even now, she delivers every line in the same whiney tone of voice and there's no depth in emotion to her. Plus, this storyline of making a child get pregnant is just ridiculous. Quote:

I thought her scene with Craig when she told him about being bullied was very good. Her character is annoying but then so are most teenagers! But she did a good 'cry' in that scene.

She's just a really charmless character played by a very poor actress. There are plenty of young actresses out there who would do a much better job.
The boy who plays Craig is awful, too. But at least his character is likeable. |

Neither the character or actress are appealing

Tina O'Brien was so good with her pregnancy SL, I think it's a huge mistake to try it again with Faye. The actress just isn't up to it and Anna will not generate the sympathy that Gail did. To go through these harrowing storylines you have to care about the characters and I just don't

BIB- Still annoying to me.

Plus, this storyline of making a child get pregnant is just ridiculous. To be fair, it isn't that difficult for a child to play a moody kid. Agree with the above. I don't actually dislike the actress, she is just not that interesting for me, and that is a personal thing. I am not keen on yet another teenage pregnancy on Corrie. It was done to death with Sarah Lou. They could have just run with a bullying storyline, but no. It will all end in tears. Only good thing about it is that Craig is showcased as being a kind shoulder to cry on. Good for him, glad he has been shown in this kindly way. |

I have never had a problem with the character or the actress to be honest!! Yes she started out an unpleasant child, but what else would you expect given the background she had, absent father, drug addict mother, in & out of care!! She was bolshy & trusted nobody & had never really been given any grounding in how to behave!! As for splitting up Anna & Eddie as someone suggested earlier, you can hardly blame Faye for the fact Eddie was a selfish, feckless waste of space who couldn't hack the fact that he no longer had Anna's undivided attention!!
The bullying thing was well written and acted in my opinion! She got into bad company cos she finally found someone who seemed to accept her, in the awful Grace character, very realistic & well portrayed!! Coming up to date, yes she has turned into a rude, uncommunicative young madam at times!! So?... Step forward 90% of young girls her age!! I hated the idea of this pregnancy storyline when it was announced, & I still don't feel comfortable with it, but I'm going to try & buy into it as I think Ellie Leach deserves a chance to prove herself as an actress, she's just a kid with her whole acting life ahead of her & she will improve with experience!! In my opinion she's already way above the likes of Hayley Tamaddon, Antony Cotton, Sam Aston & Brooke Vincent & vastly above any of the Nazir family! |
