Star of the Week: Gemma Winter
Our Gemma has a heart of gold, doesn’t she? The start of last week was a bad one for Gemma when her boyfriend, Henry, supposedly had a broken arm after a fall in the Rovers. Sadly, things went from bad to worse when Hazza turned out to be faking his injury. Classy.
Poor Gemma was torn. Here was the love of her life begging her to lie to Jenny and Johnny and help him sue them for a big ol’ sum of £17K. Once upon a time, Gemma would’ve jumped at the chance to make some easy money, but she’s a reformed character now. Deep down, she knew the choice was simple. Jenny made the decision slightly easier for her by informing her that they’d already found out posh Henry’s somewhat flawed plan. Alas I’ll miss George Banks as Henry; up until now I’ve really enjoyed the character.
After Gemma told him to do one, it didn’t take her long to bounce back to her usual, upbeat self. Bless her heart, she was sure that Liz was missing Mike and was dead-set on getting them back together. Which, while she may not have listened to what Liz was saying, was actually really quite sweet.
And can we just appreciate how amazing Dolly-Rose Campbell was last week? She’s always incredible but I was blown away by Monday’s episode.
Who’s your star of the week this week?

I wasn't wild about Gemma when they first introduced her, but she has really grown on me. I hope maybe they'll bring Henry back later on, I think they could really make it work with the two of them. And would love to see more of her and Rosie as friends if she returns. I think she's a horribly underused character.
I too loved Gemma and Henry. Such My Fair Lady potential. I hope Henry is brought back, they were a fab couple.
I also like Gemma and Henry but I don't think they would work as a permanent couple on the Street. It would be more entertaining for Henry to be a recurring character, turning up when he's least expected or wanted and always in a pickle. Gemma could dally with him while he's around but he's not grown-up enough for her long-term.
I can't stand Gemma, I can't forget the person she was when Callum was about. And I really hope they never bring Henry back. Neither are very good actors.
I like Gemma but do we have to have so many talking with her mouthful scenes? Surely Rita would have told her off about this by now.
