I had to say that I think the on-screen chemistry between Simon and the rest of the Barlows is superb. I think it's a shame that they are making him stay quiet and not say any lines, because he's a brilliant actor and the fact that he just doesn't say much makes it unrealistic.
ReplyDeleteI think he should start getting his own storylines already.
He is quite brill. I'd like him and little Josh Peacock to become friends too.
