I seriously think this has to be one of the strongest and finest performance by an actress I've ever seen on screen-absolutely Oscar winning acting here from Suranne.

These scenes are superb. I wish they gave Simon Gregson more dramatic material. It also reinforces that in spite of the claims of Corrie being about comedy and EE being about drama, that Corrie, when it tries, can produce some absolutely fantastic drama. It's made more real because the characters are not in constant misery.

@@markmorris7123 I do work in building sites and often work 7.30 to 5.30 or 7 to 6. I'm not comparing jobs though. I'm saying acting very intense scenes like Suranne had so many of would certainly be an exhausting task amid having to learn huge amounts of dialogue. Mike Reid [Frank from Eastenders] had to leave it in the 90s as he was doing a depression story amid his character's decline into a mental breakdown. Playing such intense scenes had an effect of Reid's own mental health and he had to be written out as he himself started suffering depression. Bill Treacher [ Arthur Fowler] said he too was playing a depression storyline and it affected his mental health and he'd go home in the evenings and cry some nights it was so draining on him and left him mentally exhausted. Furthermore, Michelle Ryan [Zoe Slater] had to be written out of Eastenders for several months in 2002 under doctors orders she admitted because it was during the era when the Slaters were heavily featured and she was playing very intense scenes and it began to affect her mental health and left her exhausted. Rowena Wallace who played Pat the Rat in Sons and Daughters said the same. Her character was a drunk and drug addict and Wallace said she was doing so many emotionally heavy scenes that it left her exhausted and she had to leave in the end. I've never acted myself but I can imagine if you were playing heavy emotional scenes day after day over a long term storyline arc it definitely would spill into your own life. You can't just switch it off. It stays with you.

I can understand Karen's frustration and breakdown as Tracy cruelly taunted Karen by calling her "Barren Karen" because she couldn't conceive which is so cruel and lorded it with the pram at Karen rubbing her nose in it , yes Steve shouldn't of cheated on her , he should of had access to Amy but without Tracy there so Karen might of had chance to bond with Amy and Tracy couldn't of tormented Karen then, but Steve taking Tracy's side in the end must of been the ultimate punch in the gut for Karen, I felt sorry for Karen in the end.

I've never known a more self-centred narcissistic female character in Corrie than Karen McDonald. Nearly every other sentence out of her mouth was about herself, and most of her actions were self-serving. Liz was right. All she wanted to be perceived as was Queen of the Flamin' May rather than the brawling gobby slapper she really was. Steve will forever be better off without her 🎉

@Abbie Hazel Florence Hunter yea because the writers exhausted Steve's repetitive story line of drifting from 1 woman to the next so paired him with Tracey as there was nothing else to do with him rather than find him another woman. For much of 2005 though after Karen left, Steve repeatedly rejected Tracey's advances though until she got bored and finally moved on. If somebody better came along though Steve wouldn't think twice about abandoning her.

In a lot of ways, Karen is really striking a lot of attitude here. She claims that Steve didn't suffer when she lost her baby, and so justifies what she did by pretending to kill Steve's baby with Tracy. A more selfish person there never was. Tracy was evil, I grant you that, but not even SHE deserved what she got from Karen. And all because Karen wanted her to suffer! Karen was selfish here, and Steve was right in driving her out of his house and life for good!
