One Day fans - who is your Emma Morley?

[MugglesandLuna]

Everyone has been slating the choice of Anne Hathaway as Emma, but who do you picture would be better?

I dont know why, but I always picture the woman that played Claire in Corrie, and Shane west from ER as Dex (and I know he is American, and not posh, but thats who I see in my head).

Bollocks, I just watched the trailer. Now I'll have to watch the film. And I take back Daniel Craig. Don't know where that came from!

charlotte coleman passed away few years ago

i think dominic cooper would have been excellent and so would rebecca hall (from starter for 10)

think an american actress had to be chosen re u.s box office - boo

[SayCoolNowSayWhip]

Oh my gosh, I had no idea Charlotte Coleman was dead! :( How sad. Scarlett was one of my favourite characters in any film ever!

[Longtime]

Sadly she died of an asthma attack.

[ggirl]

Yes I knew that ,but still pictured her as emma morley

[birdofthenorth]

SayCool yes Jennifer Ehle would have been great! She was in the Kings Speech so still around. As an Aussie, so can do accents. Damn this Hathaway nonsense, so many missed opportunities!

From this thread I have learnt that Rebecca Hal is Charlotte Coleman's sister (I see it now!) and that Coleman is dead You learn something new every day...

[SayCoolNowSayWhip]

Jennifer Ehle, thankyou birdofthenorth!

[sydneysuze]

What about Andrea Riseborough? From Newcastle I think but I bet she could do Leeds accent. She was great in Party Animals and she's done a few US movies.

charlotte coleman's sister is cam in tracey beaker

Gemma Arterton

[peggyblackett]

Yy, Gemma Arterton or Romola Garai would have been better.

Dex was fab exactly right and as for em it would have to be Ann Marie duff...she's just right...but never mind them...what about the mother and the lack of the headteacher!!!!

[HarryDan]

Emily Mortimer

[kitya]

Is it worth going to see the film?

[scarymaclary]

Yes, it is worth seeing the film - I enjoyed it despite Anne Hathaway's dodgy accent!

[MummyPenguin]

Emma's a tough one, isn't she? I know AH's accent wasn't great - having said that, at times it was spot on but at other times was too posh. It was a bit all over the place really. Visually though, and personality wise, I think AH was perfect for Emma. She's very versatile in as much that she had to look really young at the start of the film and age with the character, which I think she did really well. The only British actress I could think of who could possibly have pulled Emma off is Gemma Arterton, as others have said. I can't see Kate Winslet in the role at all. What about one of the British lasses that have been in period dramas such as Downton Abbey? For example that girl (no idea of her name) in Downton Abbey (played a kitchen maid) who was in Corrie quite a few years ago? Similar to the Claire Peacock actress.

[sunflowerandcress]

Rebecca Hall would have nailed it. I thought Dex was well cast.

[MummyPenguin]

I agree about Dexter.

[MummyPenguin]

Just Googled Rebecca Hall. God, yes!!

[said]

Oh, just googled her as well Can you imagine going through life being that pretty??

[MummyPenguin]

Perhaps too pretty for Emma? She wasn't portrayed as a 'looker' was she?

[TheWicketKeeperIsDown]

I've just finished reading it (haven't seen the film), and in my mind it was Andrea Riseborough and Stephen Moyer. Couldn't get their faces out of my head.

[LyraSilvertongue]

Bringmesunshine, what an idiotic post.

[SlightlyJaded]

Kelly McDonald. I think she 'looks' like Emma and is a fab actress. Not nearly enough box-office-bankability though
