Complete waste of space. Even when he is in story lines such as the baby plot he is just useless!

He does seem to have the same expression whatever happens, happy, sad, angry, he always looks to have the same facial expressions .

The tree in my garden gives a less wooden performance than he does

Corrie Bro is definitely the better of the two. He doesn't resort to shouting all his lines like Emmerdale Bro seems to.

To remind people that it's not a good idea to cheat on their spouse with one of said spouse's relatives.

l quite like the Finn character, l think the actor plays him for laughs a lot of the time and it works, l actually like him with val and Eric, can't say that l enjoy any of Adams scenes no matter who he's with.

I'm no fan of Adam, but tell you what, he was surprisingly good in those scenes after he found out James was his Dad and broke down.

He hasn't had any decent material for ages though. Since he left the farm, he's been completely pointless really. I thought they'd make a bigger deal of his relationship with Aaron, but all Aaron ever does is mope around with Chas. He's a waste of space, and not very likable.

I thought he was surprisingly good when him and Robbie took drugs.

Theyre hot but that annoys me. They have a great lifestyle for having the looks. Unfair.

The fact he doesnt even know about Aaron and Robert says enough.

Maybe Adam will be killed off? He and his brother in Corrie are just there for their looks I agree. Hopefully Chas will be killed off with Adam leaving Aaron in despair!

I agree, Adam did a great job during the paternity story and during John's death. I think the problem with him is they can't get him in the right relationship. Him and Victoria have zero chemistry, and its been the same case with all his other girlfriends. The person he's had real chemistry with is Aaron

I would love to see the back of Adam. Awful character, awful actor and the man who plays him comes across as unlikeable anyway.

Both him and a his brother have only been successful through good looks and a stroke of being in the right place at the right time.

Some people on DS said exactly the same about Sammy Winward. They said she'd never leave Emmerdale because she knew she wouldn't find any work. How wrong they have proven to be!

I honestly do not think anyone lasts a longtime in soaps just because they look nice. It's an insult not only to the actors, but the production team who hire them and continue to offer them contracts year after year. Furthermore, there have been numerous good looking soap characters who have been axed, so with respect, your argument doesn't stand up to much scrutiny.

Not to everyone's taste - either of them - so that doesn't hold water.

Exactly, yep. I thought they might have Adam as Aaron's confidant, or that he stumbles on the truth and confronts him with it, but nope.

Adam's just a bit of an idiotic lying sleaze really. Victoria can do much, much better. Though to be honest, sitting in on her own with a can of lager every night would be better than being with Adam. At least the lager isn't likely to impregnate the local vet.

There's nothing wrong with people slagging of the acting talent of the actors. We all must have at least one who we think can't act to save their life. But if the time comes when you have been proven wrong about an actor/actress that you have slagged off then you should be gracious enough to hold your hand up and admit that you were wrong. A certain person went noticeably quiet over miss Winward which was a shame after all the sneering comments.

I've never understood the good looks - I don't find either of them atttractive. It's the same with Ross - I don't find him attractive either though I know lots of people do. I think the fact that I'm old enough to be the mother of all of them might have something to do with that though.
