Corrie's 'Gemma' - A diamond in the rough
I think Callum's sidekick Gemma (Dolly Rose Campbell) is a cracking actress I have to say. She doesn't get many lines but she does have to do a fair bit of acting and she has been called upon to show many different demanding emotions.
She has had to show 'power' over Sarah and Bethany, she has to show subservience to Callum and show she knows where the boundaries lie. I think she has real hidden depths and lets face it we don't get that too often with the newer characters. I think she is a great complex character, I'd love to see more of her on Corrie and for her to be given a chance to get on a new path in life. |

I agree with you OP.I like Gemma. She's played by a good actress. She's also really pretty in real life. I'd like her to stick around as a regular character. I'm not sure who she would be friends with though.

I like her too

I agree with none of the above comments |

She isn't a bad actress. Those who say she is are once again confusing the disliking of a character for bad acting imo. I've seen people who behave exactly like Gemma.

Like Callum, I have nothing against the actress and think she is quite good but I'm not a fan of the character.

Gemma will probably be gone once Callum leaves.
I can't see her getting a personality change and/or ending up working at Underworld. |

Gemma could change her ways and still be friends with Kylie and get a job at Underworld. If she stops taking drugs and drinking all day her and Kylie might get on. It would be a shame if she just disappears as I think she could be an interesting character from a horrible background where she was maybe abused. Her moving to the Street could be a fresh start for her.

I just feel that four of the words in the title of this topic are not needed

Please do not assume that I cannot differentiate between character and actor. I am not one of those dotty old dears that goes around with a handbag shouting at people because the characters they portray are horrid.

I really like her too . the character has been well drawn and the actress is most convincing. I too hope she stays in CS in the future.

I really like her, once Callum goes I hope she gets to be a permanent character and I can see her working in the factory maybe she could take Maddies job in packing
