Or maybe they think....he is a rubbish actor.

I don't mind him. He's not that brilliant because he just acts himself. He is hardly acting a role when he was the exact same on Soapstar.

No. I agree. You shouldn't be horrible to an actor. They are just doing their job

I think Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson) is a better actor!
He is my favourite actor!

He is NOT brilliant

He is NOT rubbish

He is the ideal person to play Sean Tully.

He is alright - I'm kinda put off by how he is in real life though, a total arse.

I like Antony a lot.

Like I said before I dont think that hes the best actor in the world (and I think that he himself would agree), but hes good at what he does.

Like I said a couple of days ago. I've met him a couple of times and hes a real nice bloke.

A lot of actors get negative things said about them on this forum, supose criticism comes with the job. But there are some people who do go too far.

Look we could have a million threads fighting battles for every soap star. yes there are similarities between antony and his character. but remember that. Its a character. Hes doing his job-the fact Sean is a funny camp gay male doesnt mean Antony cant be-that just makes it easy for an actor to be the character. lots of actors say they are like their character-it doesnt mean they are a bad actor.
In this case-Antony Cotton is not my fav actor and i find him a bit tedious to watch. His recent performances have been somewhat lame. Seans upset but antony makes it look like hes a grumpy teenager the way he makes faces and is humped over with his hands in his pocket. Thats what annoys me. Sulla put it pretty well i think. Ideal for the role but not a brilliant actor. Dare I be controversial and say-not even a great actor...let alone good...

this is exactly my point. horrible nasty comments. how would you feel if someone said you should be SACKED from your job just because they didn't like you. it is so much easier to say nice things or just don't say anything

Good heavens, he's like that in real life? He'd drive me mental. It's bad enough watching him on TV.

i was taught to keep my negative thoughts about other people to myself. maybe thats whats wrong with the world. maybe being horrible about people is what makes the world a nicer place.

Yes, I was taught that too. However, this is a forum about soaps and the people who play the characters in those soaps, therefore we are here to discuss their good and bad traits.

If we all said nice things about the actors then this forum may as well shut down. We would all be agreeing with one another and there would be nothing to discuss.

Get a life you silly fool.

The problem with Anthony is that he's brilliant at the happy/funny stuff and can create a brilliant, enjoyable character.
But when given material like this, where he has to play sad or scared, he cant really pull it off. His facial expressions just seem forcefull and unnatural.
I think he's a good character, fine actor, but should be kept with the one-liners. He's not "brilliant" as you say.

I really like Antony, he is a great actor and recently he has shown how he can not only do comedy but serious stuff.
I hope he stays with Corrie for a long time as his character is excellent!

He's a good comedy actor but he cant act drama scenes to save his life.

Did you see him hanging his head in order to potray some kinda emotion? As a camp stereotype comedy charactor he just about pulls it off, but anything more serious he is awful. This week his acting has been hideous

I agree.

I love the character of Sean by I find Anthony comes accross as conceited and big headed in real life. I also feel that Hayley from Emmerdale was robbed in Soapstar Superstar as Anthony just seemed to play Sean and had little singing ability.

he's a terrible actor. acting means playing a different persona. He does'nt he's the same in real life. I don't even find him funny. just a cliche.

Hayley deserved to win for being the better singer, but she cost herself the victory. I know that a lot of people were put off by the way she continuely told us that her boyfriend would only propose to her if we voted for her to win. (It came across as tactical) and lost her a lot of votes.

According to a recent interview Hayley did with the Sunday Mirror, he still hasn't proposed to her.

Maybe he just doesn't want to get married?
