I'm pretty scathing about useless actors in soap, so I thought it would be nice to start a thread praising those that pass muster.

I love Chrissie and Bernice. Chrissie because she delivers her sarcastic lines brilliantly, and Bernice, who can also do the same but also does 'scatty' really great. I love Aaron and Robert too, particularly when they're being humorous.

Oh and Rhona.

And Paddy.

I'm sure there's more, and most of them are from Emmerdale.

When Bernice threatened Chrissie with the clippers I was creased. They both played it really well. I'm not a new evil version of Chrissie fan but I do like Bernice. There's no one on ED that I particularly don't like. I've even warmed to Charity this time and usually she gets on my baps.

There was a point in that scene where Bernice was shuffling around and rambling and the camera stopped on Chrissie's face which was covered in cream with two cucumber rounds....and I just cracked up. Maybe it's just me, but there's some very subtle humour in Emmerdale.

Emma Atkins is a cracking actress, and plays Charity really well. I'm enjoying having her back way more than I expected.

ED has a good cast on the whole. Mike Parr is great. And the actress who plays Leyla - she can be way better than most of her material as well.

Oh yes, another one! How could I have forgotten her! Another one who's delivery is spot on.

So many good ones on ED:
Jeff Hordley, Charlotte Bellamy, Zoe Henry, Emma Atkins, Samantha Giles, John Middleton, Thomas Atkinson, Natalie J Robb, Gemma Atkinson are my favourites but there are others who are very good too
