I don’t actually mind Kathy and Brian they have potential to be a bit of much needed comedy in Corrie but the writers won’t allow it.Johnny Connor actor is good loved him in Love Actually but since the Aiden story he’s become another boring unnecessary character

Interesting opinion. I think Coronation Street comedy scenes are overrated and have been since around 2006-7. They try too hard and this is apparent in the script, in my opinion. In contrast, I think EastEnders does comedy brilliantly at the moment.

The actor who plays Johnny (Richard something?) doesn't do it for me. He is very hammy and his facial expressions are often blank. I was wondering the other day how he managed to bag roles in such high calibre shows such as Prime Suspect and Love Actually. What was that other thing he was in, was it Dangerfield?

He is Richard Hawley. This is some of the things he has been in - regular roles in D.C.I. Banks, Steel River Blues, Woof!, Castles, Peak Practice, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, The Tide of Life, and guest appearances in Agatha Christie's Poirot, Casualty, Heartbeat, Kavanagh QC, Dangerfield, Grange Hill, Drop The Dead Donkey, Minder, and Wycliffe.

I remember him in Family Affairs.

Oh yes, Wycliffe, I knew I'd seen him somewhere. Steel River Blues was a good show, I remember watching that with my mum.

Corey does play a good villain, i seem to remember the gang that killed Rhys Jones there was one of them that was the shooter that got his family to lie for him so the aftermath is quite realistic

Yes, he's a good actor. The script wasn't the best though, when she said to him "we are in so much trouble". You killed someone and severely injured his girlfriend. You didn't smash someone's window playing football. 🙄
