I see that Tvor has already posted a topic about this, but I wanted to post a Yay Or Nay on the topic as I`m really having trouble finding the point in Dennis Tanner´s return to Corrie.
I mean, it was nice to have the scenes with Rita in the homeless shelter, and Elsie getting a proper departure was nice. But that's it really. He hasn´t done much else apart from help Rita in the Kabin, drink in the Rovers or he's been without money. I really hope that the Producers will find him something to do. It's been almost three months and he hasn't done a tap of real acting, he may as well be an extra.
Do you agree? Maybe in time, with the Grimshaw relation plot, he will get a plot that will truly show off his acting skills. Even though I´m fond of the character, he isn´t making Corrie better or more nostalgic for people. So its a Nay from me, as you can expect. What about you? It's a real wasted opportunity. He has so much history with the place, and yet we see none of it. He hasn't even interacted with Gail, does he even know the history they have - Elsie was Nick´s godmother for Pete´s sake!
