Liam Connor

We've just met the Connor Brothers here in Canada, Liam and Paul. Looking at the wonderful CSVU Canadian updates, and at the current ITV ones, i really thought i would prefer the older Paul but having seen them both now for myself, i kind of think i like Liam better. He's certainly got more personality than Paul so far. He actually reminds me of Danny with his market patter and charm and I bet that's one reason Danny doesn't like him among all the others that he has. After all, he got his feet under the sewing table rather slickly and behind Danny's back and he's got the hots for Frankie which will definitely put Danny off him even if he didn't have to work with him.

But i like Liam. I think it's going to be fun watching him. Ok, maybe he does come across as a bit immature so far and you get the feeling he's a "Jack the Lad" at times, but you also see a good side of him when he interacts with his nephew, Ryan, son of Michelle. He takes unclehood seriously i think, especially since the lad's father died. Paul might have all the business sense but Liam will be a hard worker and i think in spite of himself, Danny could end up liking him. A little anyway. Grudgingly.

I've heard people comment that he talks like his mouth is full of marbles. That's really a classic Manchester accent. I've been to Manch. many times and that's how a lot of the natives sound. The actor, Rob James-Collier, was born in Swinton which is a community just bordering on the city of Salford. This is his first major acting job, too. He's only just discovered acting, took some lessons, had a small part i think in one or two tv shows and i think he's done some modelling. He certainly has the looks for it don't you think? The more i watch him, the more i think he's rather dishy! Certainly we gals don't get a lot of totty on the show, not for us more mature viewers anyway. All the good looking lads are that... lads. And most of them don't do much for me and wouldn't even if i *was* 18 or 20 though i think if i was that young, i probably would drool over at least one of them, Richard Fleeshman. He's definitely a nice looking young man. No, i think i'll enjoy Rob James-Collier's stint on Corrie.
