William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, defended Coronation Street and its producer Phil Collinson in an interview on ITV's This Morning this week.
And yet the criticism rumbles on and on and on and zzzzz... sorry, is it time for me tablets yet, nurse?
Johnny Briggs, who played Mike Baldwin, has jumped on the bandwagon to stick it to Coronation Street. In an interview in The Mirror today Johnny says the soap has become “boring and humourless” and that poor scripts are “killing” the show. However, he did praise Michelle Collins' accent, saying: “I admire her pluck for trying to speak like a Manc. I couldn’t have done it.”
The interview ends with a plea from the out of work actor: “I would seriously consider going back if they paid me the right money." Hmmm... weren't you killed off?
