She's 15 and he's just using her. I don't think he'd sleep with her.

I'd vote for him for the sheer hilariousness of it.

Callum is truly laughable, I cracked up the other night when he started on Jason (I think?) in the Rovers and stuck his face up against his. So funny
I laughed as well. So bad it was funny.

Why else do you think they specifically wanted an older actress to play Bethany?? It's so obvious that's where it's going. I can see it now, Sarah and Bethany pregnant to Callum .

Jez Quigley was the only character that could do a menacing look.
The actor that plays him is back on our screens again in a drama on BBC and he still has that look...

You sound very nieve about how the real world works especially the underworld (no pun intended) and you said that someone attacking someone as in having a one to one fight (unless you meant someone hiting someone why his or hers back is turned) then by that logic, boxing is cowardly.
I don't think I am naive (note the spelling) about the so-called "underworld", having had a father who knew the Kray twins well (although he didn't get involved with their "work") and having lived quite close to them myself. That was real violence, but there were also unwritten rules that everyone lived by, including who they would target. You weren't even a twinkle in your father's eye then. There are modern equivalents.

What's depicted in soaps is someone's idea of a villain. There's usually what they like to think of themselves as a "Mr Big" (the intelligent one) who is often a pretty boy and gets others, who are thick as planks, to do the beating up for them. Jez Quigley was the exception. Bear in mind that these shows are on in the early evening with children watching. Callum is a joke.

As you well know, boxing isn't cowardly as the intention isn't to actually cause them real harm - it's a regulated, disciplined sport. Bare knuckle fighting on the other hand ..................

Having seen real life violence with the Krays, I still say it's a sign of cowardice and lack of ability in other areas..

Callum is not meant to be a gangster or a big time dealer. He's a small time dealer and the actor plays the part well. It doesn't matter that's a bit camp. I know someone just like him (apart from being black), including the camp persona. Some TV criminals like Eastenders Derek have delusions of grandeur and aren't meant to be big time. They just think they're bigger than they really are. I didn't like Derek at all. He was so yucky! The thought of him with Kat was nauseating. Callum is a sneaky git and I think once his revenge plot comes to light we'll see the end of the character. Bethany won't want to know him, Sarah won't want him and Kylie will be glad to see the back of him. He seems to have forgotten he has a son. Yes his revenge is about his son, fair enough, but his revenge seems to be taking priority over everything else.

Yeah your right he does seem to have forgotten about max, in fact I think that if he got custody of max he wouldn't know what to do with him. Who exactly is he trying to get revenge on, kylie David Gail? Everything has gotten so convoluted.

All i know is i'll be gutted when he leaves. I don't care about his acting ability ( i do think he's decent enough though) i just like perving at him. He's the best looking guy out of all the soaps. If he really is leaving in a couple of months then it'll be a sad day.

I actually thought last night that this is going down the route of Callum making Bethany become a victim of human trafficking but I don't think he has it in him. Just thought so when he seemed to give that guy a nod at the bar like he was getting his approval on something. I could be wrong but I don't rate him much as a villain or a character but that is just my opinion.

Lol, whatever gave you that idea?

He's just a small town drug dealer and petty criminal, nothing more, and he's sucking Bethany into that life purely to get revenge on the Platts in general and because he's a nasty piece of work. He definitely has a short shelf life on Corrie, which is as it should be imo.

He'll turn up on something on the BBC.

All the trashy actors get roles in some major drama.

I thought they could do something where he pimps her out to other people but I think a storyline like would be beyond the scope of the characters

They almost always choose child actresses and actors older than they are to deal with certain issues, it doesn't mean she was specifically cast to sleep with/get pregnant by Callum

After watching the pub "raid" (which I shall come back to) I'm wondering if his revenge on the Platts could be after luring Bethany into being a mule could be to get her hooked on something and then set her up to get caught and arrested by the police with a large quantity of heroin or cocaine on her to get her charged with dealing and to ruin her life.

The police could also then anonymously get those pics/video of her smoking a joint in the pub and handing over a package that Callum took of her.

As to the raid, my son who's a police officer commented that had Gemma been found with that packet of white powder in a real raid she would have been arrested and bailed pending tests to see what it was.
He said no way would she just be given a caution on the spot for possible class A drugs, especially the amount we saw in that packet, ever !!!!!
