Gail's breathy voice in Corrie does my head in

[ssd]

the way she can't talk in a normal voice now and has to whisper all the time really annoys me, I love corrie and she's ruining it

The sooner they lock her up and throw away the key the better. Am hating this storyline, we've been through it once already with Deirdre.

Her blinking drives me mad. Her flirting with her elder son (she's always done it) makes me cringe. Slowly walking down the stairs, dressed in black, to the sound of opera made me laugh out loud.

She's a looker though, no?

her voice REALLY winds me up

I want to scream "PARDON? SPEAK UP!" but I know she won't hear me

Nick gives me the creeps

Gail does my head in .Full stop.

I have suspended watching Corrie 'til they have locked her up and thrown away the key. I am soooo fed up with the story.

Haha, is it weird that I don't really find Gail's voice annoying?!

Liz

every time i see her it reminds me of my nanas opinion. she has a fantastic way with words and she used to say " that gail platt has a face like a twisted piss pot" never seen a twisted piss pot but i do agree with ya nan

Wish I knew who her were fans were - apparently she has been in more Corrie episodes than any other character including those who have been in it longer than she has.

WHY?

She has a face better suited to planet of the apes. Would have saved a fortune on makeup.

The whispering drives me nuts too.

the whole package annoys me.

she reminds me of a guinea pig - have a look next time.

Does anyone remember ages ago in the Guardian Guide Charlie Brooker ran a competition to find the best description of Gail. 'A mushroom cut in half' and 'a pidgeon being patronising' are the two that stuck in my mind.

she does this breathing/slopping as she talks, louder than her voice. it is SO cringeworthy, makes me grimace. me and dh were just saying last night that we wish they hurry up and lock her up.
and as for that batting eyelashes at nick, just weird "oh you're a real man now" WTF!?!?!?
THE most annoying character.

My Mum would say she's got a face like a smacked arse.

She won't go to prison though will she? We've already had free the Weatherfield one we can't go through all that again.

And little Simon was great last night!

She does that eyeball-tennis thing as well when she's looking into someone's eyes. I have to sit there with my hands over my eyes whimpering "NOOOO .....".

Did anyone else think that when she was sat in the church last night, wearing that black polo-neck, she looked like a Cluedo piece? DH kept chuckling and saying "it was Mrs. McIntyre in the boatshed with a lead pipe!"

Cluedo piece !! you are right !! there is something of the rodent about her.
Simon is far too 'smart' for a 6 yr old in RL - I find it a bit annoying.

Her house needs to go on 60 minute makeover.

Haha! She always wears polo-necks - she looks just like a tortoise in them! When she was still with Martin my Mum used to call them "The chinless ones"!
I cannot bear her character, she has a stupid voice, and the fact that Richard Hilman didn't finish her off years ago is a crime in itself!!

Thanks god im not alone.

She drives me mad, the blinking and the silly voice.

Worst of all is when she's all flirty with a bloke, I hated any romantic scene with her and Joe.

and, yeah she is going to prison!

The blinking, aargh. I am finding the new Nick highly repellent too.

How come Gail didn't go to him for a handout to help Joe? DH wondered how they paid for the funeral? Why didn't they sell the boat or the car, how much does a week in that cottage cost, this is the worst put together storyline in a long time. Get rid of all the Platts/Tilsleys.

Also, Simon coming back on his own, totally unbelievable, although he's a great little actor, the character seems to be about 10, not 6.

And another thing, where's Ted gone? You would have thought he would be around to go to his son in law's funeral.

yy to the polo neck. Although I think she looks a bit like ET.

I saw her a couple of weeks ago in a cafe. She was talking on her mobile and sounded normal enough, but when she spoke to the waitress she did the breathy voice.

She had the most enormouse purple Prada handbag but was wearing jeans that were a very old fashioned cut. I was a bit disappointed. I wanted her to be all Julie Goodyear lepoard print and big hair. T'was the same hair though.

Ted not available because he's playing Romeo

Oh, that'll be it. That is one of the most unrealistic things about soaps generally, how major characters can't come back for weddings and funerals, also no one from their life before they moved onto the Street - did Joe really not have any friends from his life before Gail?

Looking forward to Tracey coming back!

Drrrrruuuummm roll...

The actress who plays Gail is the sister of my old Geography teacher Mr Wigglesworth

Ta Daa!!!!
