Amy on Coronation Street

[Izzywhizzy]

Does anyone else think that the girl that plays Amy in Corro is the worst child actor on TV?? I don't think I've ever seen an expression cross her face once.

Give her a break. She is a child.

she's only teeny tiny!

Isn't it better for her to have no expression rather than the wrong one for the storyline?

Don't they trawl the local maternity hospitals for a baby due at about the same time as the fictional one?

Not sure they check the cvs of the unborn though, so that's maybe why they cast someone that can't act.

Who is required to act on prime time tv! The odd change in facial expression would be in the contract, I would have thought.

The 'give her a break, she's a child' argument belongs to the 'should she be acting in the first place' issue. And I'd say no, since she is crap at it.

The actress playing Amy has changed at least once since the character was created, so no, it's not an accident of birth.

No, I did not say she shouldn't be acting.

Didn't say you did!

No, just clarifying my POV.

I agree with Izzywhizzy. She makes TJ in Emmerdale look like a RADA graduate

I think Tom in Hollyoaks has been the best kid-actor for soaps in a long time; he is just so good at it!

Mind you, he is older so maybe that's something to do with it

The best kid actor is the one playing Tiffany in EastEnders. She is scarily true to life.

she's very cute!!

was patsy palmer always that rubbish at acting or is it a recent thing?

I think they have gone overboard with making her a cockney "sparra" tbh.
