How wooden were those scenes with Saint James and Ken. They must have got splinters off each other. The way silly Sian and Sophie just turned up and spilled the beans was so contrived. Not one of Corrie's best stories.
It could have been, though, had it not been so rushed and ill-conceived. Shame, because it had all the makings of the kind of storyline Corrie does best.
I thought it was pretty good, myself. The "fight" scene was well executed for not having doubles and it looked real to me. As for "wooden", well I've always found Bill Roache to be less than an emotional actor, shall we say, when trying to do "angry". James just looks shifty all the time anyway.
I'd have to say that I agree, William Roache does not seem to involve anything else in his acting outside of his voice to say the lines - even his mouth lacks body language when he speaks. I wonder if it's intentional or he doesn't realize it?
