Absolutely hated every single scene Henry was in, in particular when Dumb and Dumber attacked him. Such terrible acting by all three and particularly by "Henry", who cannot act for toffee. Coronation Street is just not a suitable place for these posh Hoorays. The sooner they write him out, the better.
