Of course, it's only my humble opinion but isn't that what a blog is for? While watching Friday's and Monday's episodes, I was riveted to the screen watching two couples, four actors who put in platinum performances. The writing and dialogue was as good as Corrie gets, for me anyway. The actors more than did the writing justice. I want to watch it over and over. I'm talking about Simon Gregson, Katherine Kelly, Craig Charles and Bev Callard. Craig Charles in particular surprised me. We usually only see Lloyd as a jokester, somewhat goofy, sometimes serious but not usually overly emotional and with the breakup with Liz, we finally saw some of that. Craig really made his character's feelings utterly believable. Everyone else was equally great and I *had* to write about it. As always, the long and not very short of it is over here.

Praising four Corrie actors
