CS: Simon Barlow
Young Simon is currently going off the rails a bit, I think we can agree. Difficult background, marriage and relationships breaking up all around him, the fire, etc. can't be helping. There's obviously a bit of a storyline brewing re domestic abuse.
While we await developments in that quarter, I was vaguely wondering the other day about his parentage. I know his father is Peter Barlow, but who was his mother? Could his crinkly hair and slightly wide nose bridge be attributed to a mixed race descent? |

It looks like Leanne is admitting failure, Zeedan moves into the flat to look after Simon...

http://www.itv.com/coronationstreet/...ers-many-vices Simon looks nothing like her or Peter. At least the producers should have looked for a child actor who could be their offspring. At least young Amy looks like the offspring of Tracy and Steve. |

Wow. No one has ever pointed that out about Simon before.
Not once. Well spotted. |

Simon looks Brazilian.
I even thought that when the actor was about 6 years old. I thought he was an odd choice as he's obviously isn't white. But then again, Peter Barlow looks Asian - noticeably here. http://cdn.itv.com/uploads/editor/me...Px9gsVlLtw.jpg |

I was hoping a few years ago they would recast him (purely for looks) but sadly, they haven't. His hair is somewhat annoying in his anger scenes as it seems to get animated, can't fault his acting though.

Great as a little boy, but an absolute horror as a 12 year old. And as so many people have said, he doesn't look right in the role.I think Simon should be sent to a detention centre for a year and then come back looking a lot different. New actor. By the way, why doesn't either of Simon's parents have him? Why a step-mom?? |

The OP hasn't been on here the same amount of time as people with thousands of posts so maybe didn't know? There's no need to be rude

I agree that he looks wrong in the role and should be recast after an absence. Maybe he should be detained after the domestic violence storyline or go to live with Peter for a year or so. I do think the lad who plays Simon is a good actor but it's so obvious that he's nothing like his parents.

And as so many people have said, he doesn't look right in the role.
