I suppose they are dominating that wall! He is extremely cute though. (Jack, not Kevin!)

yeah they are weird, I think Debbie on Emmerdale has some like that of Jack and Sarah as well, those pics are really creepy, they need to stick with a nice 8x10 framed on the fireplace mantle.

Maybe they're supposed to be the modern-day equivalent of Hilda's three flying ducks (same house!)

Haha, like the comparison.

That type of artwork is usually found in the leafy suburbs of deepest Cheshire.

They are awful. I never know why parents do this. A few small pics in frames is fine but huge close ups of a kids face is just damn creepy. Not all visitors want to have see that!

I thought you were talking about Jack Duckworth . That really would be weird to see huge pictures of him .

Definitely too much. I bet it was an idea from jennybradley, its where the obsession starts all small and then suddenly she'll have Jack's picture on her duvet or a secret shrine in the attic

So contrived and "posed" too - the cliched "fingers in corners of mouth" face, has any kid actually done this since 1950s comics?

Anna has lots of big photos of Gary as a child plus others, of Jake perhaps. I find it a weird idea. Quite tacky.

It seems very out of character for Kevin.

I noticed them the other night. TBH I would rather have a blank wall, thought they were creepy, worse is the fact that they are split into three, double creepy!

BiB Nothing to do with JennyBradley, the pictures have been staring down on them all before she turned up.

Surely that would make them triple creepy! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

True, little Jack doesn't seem to spend much time with his daddy.

Even though they are way too big for the wall they're on, and are a bit creepy, Jack himself is absolutely gorgeous. The few lines he's said have been great too.

Parents do this nowadays - I have friends who have similar.....I blame Photobox and the like - I find it quite odd and too in your face.
I also detest those "relaxed" family shots done in a studio - where they all wear jeans and have bare feet.....shudder

Can't see that lad who plays Jack lasting long in Corrie. So the pics will have to go or be replaced!

It doesn't ring true at all that simple-minded Kevin would have those gigantic pics on his wall.
