And she's brittle as well, social climbing and ambitious. We have picked up bits and pieces about her childhood and family, with a brother in and out of jail and a mother she's kept at arms' length.

It doesn't help that Alison King plays her with a dreary, monotonous voice which I can only imagine she uses in order to keep the accent, resulting in absolutely zero personality. Why does Carla have to pinch other women's blokes? Was Paul Connor engaged when she met him and, if so, is that why Mrs Connor hated her?

I am afraid that TPTB are making the character of Carla Connor into a pastiche; there is no empathy for here at all, and her shenanigans are just pure tedium. If I was Alison King I'd be well fed up.<br /><br />There was a real opportunity to make Carla a role model; girl from nowhere makes good in a non-stratospheric sort of way.

Although Alison King is a good actress that portrays Carla very well, I have never warmed to Carla and feel absolutely no emphathy with her whatsoever, in fact I relish in her downfalls! Hard faced and emotionless with a robotic monotone voice, she always reminds me of the wicked witch in Snow White.Batty Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-87219928726095625502012-02-23T03:15:42.134+00:002012-02-23T03:15:42.134+00:00Rosie, you are a genius.
