Come on now, he is great in really emotional scenes, I don't ever think I've seen a guy cry like him on soaps.
Bear in mind that I've had these views for a long time and my endless rants about him have annoyed people here for years.

It's in Danny Miller's contract. He gets to wear two pairs of steel pants as well.

When other than in the last month has Victoria ever had a chance to shine, certainly not since angst ridden screen hogging orange monster first came, when she was younger Victoria had lots of scenes and she was very good in them.
As for Aaron he's just terrible, I could say more but it would take up 10,000 words of rage and frustration and no one wants to see that do they? ![]() |

The problem with child actors is that they often don't improve - especially on soap and they remain child actors forever. I don't doubt that her poor performances were due to a lack of experience recently and I think it's good that she was given a chance but I think she should invest in some acting lessons.
Which is part of the fun i'd say if every liked both Victoria and Aaron and held the same views this place would be very boring. ![]() ![]()

He can cry for England that's for sure but that's his only talent.

Kate Oates said earlier in the year that Lawrence's troubled past would be revisited later this year. Has that happened yet and I can't remember it? I don't like all this dodgy heart talk. Surely they wouldn't kill him off yet, would they?

That is of course if we accept that she isn't very good which I don't.

![]() Also, the actor told someone on Twitter yesterday that he wasn't going anywhere... and unless he was lying to protect the fact, I don't think he'll die. The doctor check-up stuff yesterday was just a way to explain why he's putting Robert in his will, and the enterprise award is a reason for him to be involved in the scrap yard and involved with Aaron. |

If she wasn't a Sugden the character would have been axed years ago. The actress has actually got worse at her job which should be a worry.

Imo a good actor is one who is good enough to step into a good drama with a well respected cast and take the lead role. How any say Michael Parr is anywhere near that level at this moment in time? For me the male acting in ED is quite poor. I'd say that only the ones who play Cain, Ross, Robert and Lawrence are average or a bit above that.
There are a lot of really bad ones. Quote:
Only if he's going down the acting drain where that character belongs, danny Miller thinks showing emotion is stroking his beard, and showing grief and sadness stroking his beard twice.

Danny Miller is marginally better than Ryan Hawley, but neither of them are particularly great.

I know he and Edna had a talk in the café about his past a few weeks/months ago after she made that comment, so it could of just been that. But I think it's more likely that this "revisiting" his past with involve the affair reveal, as there are similarities in his story and Robert/Aaron's affair.

That scene he had with Robert early on, where Robert told him he'd been stringing him along, was just SO good. And then it felt like the whole Rob v Larry thing got ditched so Rob could go off and make Aaron cry. I'd honestly rather have had Lawrence. |

LOL well you are entitled to your opinion. I do think he's an amazing actor, Aaron's coming out story and Danny Miller's acting in it was what got me watching Emmerdale.
![]() ![]() ![]() If he's so amazing why is he back where he started instead of being the star of quality dramas and movies his amazing talent deserves? I'll tell you why he ain't all that good. At best he's an average soap level actor who's now at the level his talent deserves as are most of the cast in ED and other soaps. He does look like DD Lewis when compared to the likes of Kirin, Jai, Rishi, Adam, David, Pete, Lochlan, Dan, Jimmy. |

I can't wait to see him find out about Rob

Yes the amazing Danny Miller is right up there alongside the triple Oscar winning Daniel Day Lewis in the amazing acting stakes.

Did he? I'm relieved. I keep wondering if he's on his way out - they've made almost no use of him since he arrived, except hanging round in the background of Lachlan's story, and I still really like him.

I think he's pretty good, IDK if his acting ability has anything to do with his success or lack there of. There are quite a few actors in Hollywood that aren't very talented like Nicholas Cage. One of the worst soap actors ever Jessie Metcalf some how made it off Passions and on to Desperate Housewives and Dallas 2.0. Overall though I think the acting on British Soaps is much better than the US soaps although there are a couple like Victoria who might be average, there aren't any hair models which the US soaps are full of.
I'm not saying Miller is bad because he isn't. There's nothing wrong being an average soap actor in a steady job earning a good living. |

There are a lot of really bad ones. I've seen actors who I've never heard of put in really good performances, iften holding their own against established ones. I've seen oscar winning actors be cringeworthy and theatre greats really struggling on Coronation St. I remember being pleasantly surprised that it was the under rated Nigel Havers who was by far the best of all the big names. I daresay that many had similar attitudes about Sarah Lancashire and Suranne Jones (who by the way has also worked with Jeff ). These actresses are great at playing ordinary, everyday people in abnormal situations. Daniel Day Lewis is great at playing extraordinary people but I wonder how well he could do 'the man in the street?'Especially with little rehearsal and preparation time.Yes. in an ideal world ALL talented actors would get the chance to develop their skills in a range of media but that will never happen in acting any more than in other career paths. The few who do get regular work - enough for them to make a living without signing on - haven't done it based on talent alone, but luck, persistance, location, family,an eye for a good opportunity, self confidence will have all played their parts |

I remember years ago reading an article about Linus Roache, it was a long time ago when he was playing the part of a priest in BBC drama. He was asked at the time about his father's success as an actor. He said at the time that he did not consider what his father did as acting because the lines were blurred between who was Ken and who was William as he had been Ken Barlow since he was a child. Actor's need to stretch themselves to refine their craft and soap actors do not do that by playing the same character for decades.

An article in online magazine Metro about the Robert / Aaron storyline (spoilerish)
http://metro.co.uk/2015/07/09/emmerd...-kirk-5288128/ To quote a couple of sentences While we know that Robert has a heart beneath the dark soul we often see, Whether or not Aaron and Robert’s loving but damaging relationship Loving relationship ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All they've done on-screen is snog & have sex. Jeez - if this is what passes for a "loving" gay relationship in soaps then we've reached a sad sad day for gay characters ![]()
