She's ruining every single scene she's in. She appears to be channelling Emmerdale's Bernice. What's with the over-pro-nouncing eve-er-y syl-la-ble??
Jesus I'll never slag off Tony Discipline again.....

I don't understand why she put on the accent or is that how she talks?

She had quite a plastic personality the longer she was on OFAH and now seems to be a bit menopausal with a lack of likeability. Think she deserves a chance though and if she can get under Kathy's skin more often then all's not lost.

She's just as bad of an actress and Laila Morse. Sooner shes gone the better. The character is awful too.

I didn't mind her

She's supposed to be a ghastly jobsworth type

I just don't get why anyone is putting up with her nonsense and they don't all just walk out.

I haven't seen yesterday's episode yet but I'm dreading her scenes when I catch up tonight. If it's too much for me, there is the fast forward button

I'd be amazed if she becomes a regular. They don't need another bossy middle aged woman and she hardly seems SOC's cup of tea at all

I get the impression she's just there for the pantomime storyline. I did think that the unusual focus that the random stripper guy got might suggest that he's going to become SOC's first regular but I could be wrong.

I have met Gwyneth Strong at an Only Fools and Horses convention before. Have to say she is a lovely lady, who was very polite and obliging for photos after spending many hours signing autographs. It is good to see her back on the box again.

If she did become a regular, at some point she would have a heart-felt discussion with somebody (Kath, probably) about why she has an annoying & aggressive personality and a 'reason' would be found. Then she'd settle down and become just another character.

It's such a soap cliche.

She seems to have gone to the same cockney accent school that 'Babe' went to. Dreadful.. Hopefully _elly001 is right and she's only here for the pantomime season.

Agreed, he is gorgeous plus the show needs more Man in that age bracket.

In a way, I think it would be fun to play such an awful character as that.

I don't mind her although she's being a little OTT and cackling away with the subtlety and sophistication as the foul mouthed cockernee granny on the Catherine Tate Show. Can she not tone down her voice? Do the producers really think that having her shouting and over pronouncing her vowels makes for good television? It doesn't.

I like her. I enjoy the back and forth bitching between her and Our Kaff.

She may well be a nice person but she is a crap actress. Always has been.
