    If Antony behaves the way Sean behaves on-screen, I can certainly understand if Charlie didn't have the patience to deal with him.

    Male or female - drama queens are realllly draining.

    "...will be at the heart of some explosive storylines."
    Isn't that just Soap Speak for more of the same boring crap we've been feeding you for years.
    Shame they don't look at the early years of the Street and get back on track instead of the implausible storylines Collinson has dumped on us.

    This is good :) I like the character and the actor plays him well. Much better than Sean.

    Corrie Sauce? It made me laugh. Was that deliberate and will be hearing more from our friend Mr/Ms Sauce?

    Having read the next blog, Corrie Sauce is deliberate. Corrie sounds like a girl's name to me, so I think it's Ms Sauce.
