News on Rob James-Collier has been a little scarce since he left Coronation Street as Liam Connor. Yours truly spotted him at The Specials gig at Brixton earlier this year but he's otherwise kept a low profile.Well, now he's back with a bang as he takes to the stage in London's West End in Calendar Girls alongside Julie Goodyear (Bet Lynch) who'll be taking off her clothes. Oo-er missus. Find out more here.
His character on Corrie--good-looking, dashing, fabulous/tragic weakness for Carla -- should have had lift-off. But it just felt like the Corrie writers didn't quite nail his character so that we cared 100%. For me, it's the women of Corrie who are interesting to watch -- the men are mostly slightly 'flat'....
ReplyDelete(sorry, new fan of the Cobbles and just my opinion)
He's alive!
ReplyDeleteAbout time this gorgeous man made a return to acting!
ReplyDeleteI love him!!!
Julie can keep her clothes on - let's see Rob in the altogether instead!
ReplyDeleteHaha i agreewith fishwife! I'll be going to see that me thinks! ;)
ReplyDeleteGoing to Press Night tonight, but 'our Liam' Rob James Collier is no longer in the cast list.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why ... perhaps he caught sight of Ms. Goodyear's baps ?
just spoke to 'Arabella' in press office of Peter Thompson PR for Calendar Girls. She says Rob James-Collier has got a new TV role and pulled out of the show last week, so they had to scrabble around a bit and find a guy who'd already played the part at Chichester or somewhere (she wasn't sure).
ReplyDeleteShe said they (in the PR team) tend to concentrate on the ladies in the cast - but when I pointed out that a lot of ladies in the audience (and a few men) might want to concentrate on Our Liam from Corrie, she agreed!
I've sent Rob a note on facebook to ask him for more details!
Johnny Fox, thanks for the update. Any information you can provide would be much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteIs Rob on Facebook then?
