Obviously we haven't seen Courtney she was a kid, is she how you thought she would be appearance wise?. I think the casting is spot on in terms of how similar she looks to Tiffany and what struck me is that she looks her age which if she will be a regular is going to make Louise stand out even more considering she is meant to be far younger.

Looking at the pics of her casting is perfect. She totally looks like the product of Tiffany and Grant. Superb casting on that front. Will need more time to form a fair opinion on her acting.

I like the fact she is at Uni, hope she stays there and doesn't end up working at the Vic! lol

I actually thought she looked a little young considering she is 18 (the same age Tiffany was when she arrived) - I'd have said she was closer to 15 but some people do look younger so fair enough.

she's believable aslooks wise re similarity to her screen parents though which is more important.

Why does she have her own place? She just looks like a kid. She does look quite similar to Tiffany.

According to DS she is in the UK studying at Uni in London. I imagine Grant is paying for her flat.

Yes

Wow..that casting was spot on. She looks the exact double of her late mother - Tiffany! And I can even she a bit of Grant in her too.

She's spot on. Not as feminine as Tiffany, but looks wise she's perfect. Touch of the Michelle Fowler about her.

Megan Jossa played Courtney for just a few months as a child 10 years ago. She was good for what was required back then but we don't know how good she would be now, as an adult, and of course more would be expected of her now. Just because someone's a good actor as a child, doesn't mean they'll make a good adult actor.

They may have felt that Megan wasn't right for the role of an adult Courtney or she simply may have not wanted to return if she was asked.

Not watch the episode yet but she has a very Tiffany look about even down to the 90s haircut and clothes.

She's adorable. I hope she's going to be a cute little baby lesbian, she gives me that vibe.

I liked her. Although he only saw a small scene of her, I thought the actress was very natural - imagine being put with Letitia Dean for your EE debut! I liked that she wasn't Miss Motormouth straight away (ahem, Louise) and she totally looks like Martine McCutcheon.

I like her and it's great seeing a young character going to University and she does look like Grant and Tiffany. She's only in for a few eps at the moment and I would like to see her brought back permanently

I hadn't really imagined her at all, but I like what we have seen so far. She just seems normal.

I suppose it makes sense that she seems tomboyish, after all she was raised by Grant, who's a blokes bloke. He was never going to raise a ditsy bimbo.
