Coronation Street's cute kids

Little Simon Barlow, played by Alex Bain, is not only cute as a cute thing on national cute day, but he's a cracking little actor too.

I'm also warming a great deal to the twins Asha and Aadi Alahan and having done a little research found out that the actors who play the twins are from the same children's acting school as Benjamin Beresford, who plays Josh Peacock and Amber Chadwick, who plays Amy Barlow.

Wouldn't it be good to see more scenes with the kids interacting and having a storyline of their own without the adults involved?

  1. Amber Chadwick went to acting school? Was she the tea girl?

  4. I must be the only one who doesn't find Simon/Alex Bain cute. Creepy yes, but never cute.

    And I think he overacts every scene he's in.

  5. No Dilly, you're not the only one. "Creepy" is exactly the right word for him. I reckon he might well be a forty year old midget dressed in kids' clothing.

    Now little Josh Peacock - he really is cute!

  6. Little Amber's saving grace is that she really does look like she could be Steve's daughter, but she's very wooden and looks uncomfortable on camera. Bethany Platt seemed the same way.
