She has always had a dreadful bow legged walk, but now the actress is portraying pregnancy it is so ridiculous it is as if the writers are taking the p out of us viewers
She walks as though she has poohed herself
From a couple of weeks ago but here is Jane Danson's response over criticism over her character's odd pregnancy waddle:

One person had messaged her: "Love you too Jane you're a very good actress, but have to say your pregnant walk is way over the top#sosorry."
She responded: "agreed was a little misjudged- forgive me x."

i thought the prosthetic they wear to look pregnant weighs the same as a real baby so they walk naturally

Having seen some of the comments quoted in that article it seems that many people are much more forgiving generally about CS than us lot - or are we more hard to please?
It seems that many do not care what rubbish is put before them.

I wonder if she would also apologise for being unable to do an entire scene without rolling her eyes too.

I thought eye rolling was a soap staple they go to acting classes for
along with standing motionless for several seconds when given some shock news or ultimatum whilst repeating the last action several times until the director shouts cut
which is SO realistic.

She really does go overboard with the eye rolling though!
"Leanne, I have some great news to tell you" - Wry smile, roll eyes, "go on then, tell me"
"Leanne, something terrible has happened" - Sad face, rolls eyes "go on then, tell me"
"Leanne, can you come here a minute" - Grimmace, rolls eyes "Whats wrong?"
"Leanne, why are you walking like you have a pineapple up your backside?" - Tuts, rolls eyes "I am 4 weeks pregnant you know"
etc.

Over Christmas, Ken's wonky mouth straightened up, then went wonky again when he remembered he was supposed to have had a stroke
Ken, refer to Patrick on EE for a masterclass in how to act as if you'd had a stroke!

William Roache has always been a pretty dreadful actor, with 1 facial expression. How he lasted so long is beyond me

If the producers couldn't give a toss about their stories I'm not surprised the actors don't either. I wonder if the production team remember Ken actually had a stroke and are confused as to why Bill Roache is pulling faces now and again.
.
Can you imagine a scene where we see Anna stumbling along on her 'wooden' legs, Leanne coming in the opposite direction, waddling as if she had a boulder between her thighs, stopping to talk to Ken with his sometimes wonky mouth.
And then there's Phelan lolling about in bed like he's on holiday instead of recovering from a bashed in skull - not even so much of a headache.

Also sometimes he was doing the hoarse whispery voice, then it would sound normal, but next scene back to hoarse little voice.

We commented on this as well. Mr Kivi wandered in and went "Thought he'd just had a stroke? Y'know, one so serious his spawn have teleported in to care for him?"
Must be a Christmas miracle! I'm waiting on him dancing round like Grandpa Bucket

He is a dreadful actor. The only good scenes I recall him doing was when he found out about Mike and Deidre's affair and threw her against the wall.
I think he has become such a fixture and longest term actor on Corrie that even though he is a poor actor that they don't and won't get rid of him as the powers that be probably think it it is a good thing for the programme to have someone in it who has lasted for so long

Agree with all the posters but need my rant at the utter tosh & drivel.
- Maria's party, ugh.
- No coherent time frames.
- Regular cast members MIA for ridiculous reasons.
- A whole bunch of new and indistinguishable cast members.
- Jude turning up (not actually seen the bit about Mary leaving for SA so thank you viewers, you are stronger than I to keep watching.
And just when was Peter booking the night in the hotel for? Christmas night? Would you really reserve a room for Mr Barlow & Miss Battersby (and she's been married X years).”

Peter Barlow's storylines:
Shag, smoke, shag, drink orange juice, smoke, turn to alcohol.
He's turning into another Phil Mitchell, soapland's most eligible bachelor.

“During the nonsensical sentence hearing, did the Judge call Maria Miss Connor?
I know we have no emotional investment in Maria's 'husband' but has he just disappeared and the sl never to be mentioned again now she's banged up?”

Once you go Connor, you don't go back.
Carla tried to rid herself of the mucky surname, but it didn't last. Heck, even Michelle -- married to a strong clan, couldn't even contemplate taking a double-barreled surname.

They could do with Neighbours/H&A style credits, I'm losing track of character names. I thought Mary's 'son' was called Dale, and he looks awfully similar to Toyah's 'soon to be ex'. And so does the bloke 'Nathan'.

What I didn't understand (must have been the drink), is that when Jude showed Mary the picture of his adopted parents, his adopted father looked exactly like him, such that I thought it was him...

Maybe they could have the characters' names floating on screen each time they appear, a la Big Brother.
Looking at it last night I think somebody must gave Zeedan the wrong number to read or he dead ir wrong. In the Bistro he told Robert they ha a huge order for delivery. Robert asked him how big was it and Zeedan said 60 Pounds. This created a rush with Robert running to give Zeedan help to prepare it and Michelleey running to get the van to deliver it. Maybe I heard wrong but I'm sure he said 60 pounds. Gas prices must be the same around Weatherfield as in Saudi Arabia. How could you make a living getting huge orders like that.

Yes, unless that was a clue that he is an imposter?

he could be the hoarse whisperer
I'm so so confused. I honestly thought I'd missed an episode but I checked and I hadn't.
Where did Jude appear from?? Who found him? Why on Earth would he offer a total stranger mother or not the opportunity to live with him on their first meeting?
Toyah's ex. Is that him gone now, like Roberts ex wife? What was the point?
Billy's faith crisis or whatever. Nobody cares.
Why couldn't someone have gone out for another telly? Like a publican with a half share in a taxi company and a window cleaner taxi rank half owner can't scrape £250 between them?
Bethany meeting this guy who works in a random nearby tanning salon that's open at christmas ... Ugh like it hasn't been done before.
Phelan - WHY IS HE BED BLOCKING? In hospital over Christmas, no head dressing, not wired up, perfectly healthy and with it. whats actually wrong with him?
I'm so confused by all the new faces, random jumps in storylines and general implausibility of it all that for the first time I'm seriously considering calling it a day.
