... what happened?

Peter Kay once said she could be the next Julie Walters. I wonder if our Peter is having a side order of words to eat with his pork pie from Greggs

I've always liked Shelly - she's always been nice and personable but I have to say that I don't think she's a very good actress. Whenever she has to act busy in the bar - ie: when there are two or more people waiting to be served and there are less than three staff on - she just runs about aimlessly picking up crisps and putting them down again.

Too many attempts at comedy IMO

I blame Shelly/Charlie (he is so bad it's funny) and the lack of good storylines. Only decent thing about Corrie is Norris and Blanche. I would watch those two in a two hander anyday

i think norris and blanche are over looked quite alot really, they never seem to have an long term storylines,

I think they are just used for the comedy, which is a shame really

The older generation
Norris, Blanche, Emily, Rita etc are neglected in favour of Shell/Chaz, Sean, and the awful Baldwins

I don't agree that she's a bad actress but as others have said, it's a bad storyline. The older actors/actresses are for the most part brilliant. I though Emily's talking about Ernest last night was very realistic and well done. The younger people tend to be less interesting and believeable...Candice is the one who gets me...I'd like to knock her block off. she looks like a boiled pig anyway. I like Fizz though...she's great.

Sally Lindsey is such a good actress. Don't judge the actress by the storyline (which I think is great anyway but hey )...

I've always found her an average actress.

People don't suddenly become bad actors. It is the writing and the character itself dealing with that writing.

Shame they made such an error on what could have been a terrific storyline

If she had a better actor to work with, she may be decent

and has been dragged out too long. Also as people have said before there is no way as an employer Fred wouldn't have marched her off to the doctor by now.

I quite agree... it's superbly written and peformed. Sally Lindsay has risen to the challenge, but it's Bill Ward who's proved to be the revelation as the best Corrie villain since Alan Bradley.

Absolutely dreadful storyline that has gone on for far too long in order to be realistic in "real time".
It is without doubt the most off-putting storyline on Corrie for a long time and I am not the only viewer who really couldn't care less what happens to Shelley just bring it to its conclusion once and for all.

And I wager I'm not the only viewer who's enthralled by it. But it's entirely subjective and I'm just as entitled to my opinion about it, as you are yours...

I think it's a brilliant storyline, and I reckon she's portraying an abuse victim enormously well.

I haven't decided if he's a good actor or not, since all he does is sneer and look away when he's talking to people. He's creepy, right enough, so I hope he is acting!!

And as for him being the best villain since Richard Hillman? I don't think he's even as good as Hillman and I never rated him much, because he was always a bit too pantomimey. I did like Jez Quigley as a villain, though, he was a brilliant character and he made my skin crawl.
