Corrie has been lacking in comedy lately, and even though I have enjoyed the slightly darker storylines, such as Becky's rampage and John Stape's downfall, my favourite part of Coronation Street has always been the comedy. That's why I was thrilled to see Brian Packham back on the cobbles this week.
His interactions with Julie have been really amusing, and I think he has the makings of another classic comedy character, just as Mary Taylor and Graeme Proctor have become.
On a personal note, my dad actually met Peter Gunn, who plays Brian Packham on a train last month, and he said he was just as lovely in real life.
What does everyone else think of Brian's return?

... couldn't agree more ... Brian is a welcomed breath of fresh air on the cobbles.
I think he's great and I've looked ahead and love where it's going. Sweet. I love Corrie comedy as well and wish they'd show much more of Deirdre and Ken at the pottery studio.
He's great and he and Julie make a great comedy duo!
As long as I get to see more Julie I'll be happy. I absoutely love what she wears.
