Does it seem to you like in every scene with this little girl she has a face that says WTF am i doing here?! She seems very bored and unimpressed with the whole thing

Well as certain Corrie fans on here keep saying age is no excuse for bad acting. I have to say it - the girl playing Amy is crap.

I must admit she doesn't do much or say anything at all, not even the odd 'Yeah' a la TJ in Emmerdale Are there any other 3 year olds in soap she can be compared to? How old is the little lad in Hollyoaks?

I reckon in a year or two she'll be 'sent upstairs'

Yes, me too. It's like Logan's Run or something. As soon as it becomes obvious the child can't act they get "renewed."

Do you think the new Amy will have 2 eyebrows? And of course Amy won't question where her mother is. Tracey never bothered with her when she wasn't in the clink. That poor child was always being looked after by someone else.

Vicki in Eastenders when she was that age was a great little actress, if my memory serves me correctly.

Steve and Liz talk about Tracy in prison over her head and she was smiling so can't be bothered!

I've performed in a show with a 3-year-old boy who was amazing. He remembered all his lines and said them with real understanding, which proves to me that if it's possible on stage it's DEFINITLY possible on screen. Though I do love Amy, she's very sweet.

The little girl is probably looking at her real mum during the scenes, the parents are often there.

Yep, you can see her look up past the camera when she is required to do something - her mum or dad is obviously there, giving instructions.

she was indeed.it's just a pity when they brought vicki back to EE they gave the job to someone who had very little acting talent at all

I swear the child's a mute - maybe even more so than Bethany Platt!

For some reason everytime Bethany Platt says a word or two it just makes me cringe, dunno why. I think Amy is fine not saying anything at all.

The actress playing Bethany is terrible. Just cringeworthy. Had Sarah not have been leaving I would imagine she would have been replaced very soon. It seems to be the thing with the soaps these days that they have to have a cute, small child who comes out with great one liners.

Seeing as Steve is unlikely to leave anytime soon Im sure Amy will change again in the next few years.

She's not an actress. She's just the girl - unless they're still using the twins - whose silently been there to be Bethany for nearly 7 years. She's barely spoken a word so she's certainly not an actress.

Considering she's not much younger than Belle from Emmerdale .. who IS an actress, the difference is mind boggling!

Amy's three years at Rada were a waste of time and money.

I think Amy is really sweet and they should let her speak a bit more otherwise how do we/they no if she can act? Same with Bethany Platt.... Also Bethany must be about 6 (which is only about a year younger than Belle Dingle) and Bethany hardly says a word where as Belle has already had a proper storyline!!

Bethany's not bad... (and yes, its still the twins)
At Sarah's wedding I thought she said her lines really well

Exactly. Belle is very, very good. I think Belle is only about 18 months older than Bethany. Belle was born on Xmas day 1998 and Beth sometime in 2000. Im sure it would not have been hard for them to find a new actress to play Beth in the future. Corrie has a knack for finding great child actors.

But because Sarah is leaving its not likely now. I would have liked to have seen banter between Sarah, Beth and Jason.

I agree but I think (as I said before) her and Amy (and other child actors) need more lines to say, otherwise they`re just sitting there!! Also if they have some lines to say and they act them out well then they could be involved in a small storyline....
