She's just such a charicature. 1 dimensional and total crap. :yawn: she's like literally a cartoon character, it's so lame. :sleep: Yet for some reason I can't quite understand, everyone seems to love her and she recieves so much airtime.

Wendi Peters is a fabulous actress but Corrie isn't the place for her IMO. Try the theatre, love.

I don't she is just a parody of herself. The writing for her character is just terrible.

Her acting is best suited to school panto but so is most of the Corrie casts.

Everyone YOU talk to might love her but I can't stand her. And I'm not the only one, so 'everyone' doesn't love her.

This means that Wendi is a brilliant actress. If you hate her character, then she is doing her job well because people are meant to hate her. I cant stand Tracy, so this means Kate Ford is a great actress. I like the character of Cilla, although at times I feel like slapping her.

No no no. Wendi is a great actress, but Cilla is a crap character. :yawn:

I don't love to hate her or anything like that. I just hate her character, the show is worse with her in it for long periods of time.

Yes! good actress, terrible character. Ever since Cilla appeared on the street she's had me screaming at the tv.
If I was Wendi Peters I'd take a long, long sickie.

Fab actress, but the character is just nauseating. Do people like her really exist, or am i living a sheltered existence?
I do love watching her though - her vast array of facial expressions keep me amused!

I think she's alright in small doses! At the moment she's alright, but I hope she gets a proper storyline soon or is axed altogether because her 'comedy storylines (thats all of them then) get boring very soon. (unless they involve Balnche's girdle of couse!) Just don't get me started on Les!!

I'm confused.

Ok so people are being negative here but, um. Why does everyone praise her in the Corrie episode threads?

She brings comedy to Corrie - she makes a episode good when it is has boring. Although it's a bit OTT. I like all comedy in Corrie apart from - Rosie and Craig saga :yawn: and Keith pig thing :sleep:

Don't get me started on that. Cilla is just terrible IMO, and should never be used to make an episode "less boring". :sleep:

Why do you keep using the word 'everyone'

I don't love Cilla, nor do I find any storyline involving her, Les, Yana or anyone else remotely amusing, most of the time it's just stupid and comes across as if the writers cobbled the "Storyline" together in 10 minutes. As time has gone on the face pulling and screeching has got worse, it brings nothing to the character, overdoing expressions etc can be just as damaging as not putting any expression in. It needs to be toned down.

I really want to get rid of that Keith - he's a boring and dull character - Craig isn't better either..

I'm not using it literally. :sleep: :yawn: Said very plainly, I am trying to discover the reason behind the utterly confusing and undeserved, widespread praise Wendi's character recieves.

Rubbish character, the slops the writers present us with all the Les and Cilla stuff is an insult to Corrie viewers. Personally I don't think the actress is as great as everyone is making out either if she was so great she would be able to make it work no matter how shit the storylines she was given were.

Well literally or not, you are wrong...
Not 'everyone' loves Cilla, and not everyone 'praises her in the Corrie threads', but then you know that

You obviously cannot read English. And you just contradicted yourself. I said I didn't mean "everyone" literally. You acknowleged this, yet still slipped into a dull, boring rant, contradicting your acknowlegement of my words. :sleep:

OH DEAR.
