Steve McDonald: Comedy Masterclass

Is it just me or is Steve McDonald from, i have just recently decided, the best soap (and perhaps programme) on tv; Coronation Street, a bit of a comedy hero?

It's an issue that i've brought up a few times to others and was first brought to my attention by my sibling and he's possibly the only reason to watch Corrie, in fact i'm going to go as far to say that Steve McDonald IS Coronation Street (Take that Bill Roach!)

Steve's storyline right now involves him playing the part of the world's most unlikely stud muffin with Myleene Klass's old band mate and that woman from the Leerdammer ad who couldn't help munching on a bit of a cheese during a job interview:

Mmm, creamy.

Anyhow, during one episode good ol' Steve was fantasizing in bed about being with the tasty cheese lady yet when he woke up, he realised it was Hear-Say, causing him to rapidly sit up in bed with a perplexed expression on his face, a la:

The only thing that was missing was a "boing" sound effect or a "dun Dun DUUUUUUNN".

The other storyline that crosses with Steven (!) is the affair Bizzy Lizzy McDonald is having with last human alive-turned-king of the robots-turned-porn fiend Craig Charles (you can tell i have only recently caught up with this), which Steve hypocritically doesn't approve of causing him to label Charles as an "OA-Paedophile!", you don't get this stuff on other soaps such as the post-apocalyptic and so incredibly depressing that it should be banned from Tv just incase it isn't the final nail in the coffin for anybody watching that suffers from bipolar disorder, Hollyoaks.

If you're not convinced by Simon Gregson's (dats da fella ooo plays 'im) comedy skills have a gander at the following portfolio of gurns:
