I'm An Information Giving Northerner In Soapland...

...and the sooner I accept that the better! No I'm not the actress with the dramatic speech castigating her soap husband! No I'm not the actress tearing anothers hair out over some wimpy bloke with money.

I really must learn that I'm the northern actress who gives information, you know like:


"the post office is on the right down there love," 
"the doctor will see you now Mrs. Sharples,"
"Oi, there's no point banging on that front door - they've gone away."

Case in point I went to an audition last week, braving the snow and ice to get there over the countrys' highest motorway to read for the part of a PC in an up and coming major storyline. This storyline is very shocking and needs to be handled truthfully and sensitively. It's a major scene I'm auditioning for, so I pick up my script expecting some thought to have gone into the lines that I am to say...

But no I'm the information giving northerner AGAIN. I obviously cannot quote these lines here yet for fear of recriminations but I assure you my fellow outsiders that sometimes information giving sucks and this actress is longing to be the one that shows emotion to another actresses I.G!!!!
