I noticed that - it was dreadful. She's normally quite funny - dry witted - and delivers her lines well - but the scene at the postbox was embarrassing. I think we'll see her return to her acerbic best quite soon (hopefully). For the moment though - I think the best child actors in are the boy and girl who play Dev's twins.

I know she's just young and she's still learning, but her acting in Friday's episode was Awful!

Dreadful actress who seems to taking acting tips from Kate Ford. Not a good idea.

I used to like her and her double act with Tracy but recently she has turned into a right brat. Her acting has declined dramatically too.

Brooke Vincent used to be good when she was younger. As she got older she lost it. Amy (Actress ) seems to be going the same way. However, the actress who plays Faye has got better.

She does that child actor thing of OVER acting ...mind you Simon Gregson has a habit of doing that too of late

But then she is a kid and still learning and well she does so well with the other stuff she is given. She can be forgiven for what I hope is a one off.

I guess it will have been hard for a kid to act out something they will never have experienced, had feelings/thoughts about or quite possibly even understand at all”

She's awful. They cast her because she was cute and charming, but as she's got older the acting is not growing with her and her creepy, robotic voice is just plain weird. This one really needs a new head, as does Simon. They should've done that with Chesney as well but it's too late and now we seem to be terminally stuck with the insufferable dullard.

Agreed. Chesney is the epitome of a child actor who is riding the coat tails of his short lived success. He's ridiculously boring and actually has no redeeming features whatsoever, much like Kirk he's never given a storyline of his own and simply mopes about in the background moaning and acting like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders. I think they made the mistake of trying to man Chesney up way too early instead of just acknowledging that he's a bit of a big kid.

She is a lot better than Simon who seems to have a permanent scowl on his face.

I think Simon is miserable but the actor is way better than she who plays Amy. I also agree with others that Faye is much improved and also, Devs kids are also pretty natural.

I personally find Maria's son Liam and Amy, to be absolutely dire!

I agree she is normally quite good, but the post box scene was so dreadful I am surprised they didn't re-shoot it!

I think for her age she is pretty good. She is much better than Faye and Simon.
In fact she is better than Kirk, Izzy, Fiz and Sean too.

I guess it's all subjective because I genuinely find her terrible. Each line is just delivered so monotone as though she is just reciting it off a cue card. Plus her dialogue is always a little too advanced for a child her age.
