yeltz-lass Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Just wanted to say how much I'm loving Ian McKellen as Mel Hutchwright in Corrie - very cheeky and twinkly and not entirely unlike Gandalf in his more mischievous guise. Still can't quite get my head around the fact that it is actually "Gandalf" insulting Ken Barlow and charming Norris and Emily Bishop in The Rover's Return, but it's great fun so far - and camper than Butlins!

Moderators DavidB Posted May 9, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2005 lol I've actually really enjoyed his performances, and he's been an absolute pleasure to watch. A total reminder of what a class act he is and the talent that he possesses never ceases to impress, entertain and amaze me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiccawise21 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 i dont usually watch the soaps but what i have seen of him is amazing. i know what you mean though.... its very weird seeing him there. =x= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Mel Hutchwright is a great character, schmoozing his way through the ladies,(and Norris ), getting everything he can for free, and Ian McKellen is just a legend...I love him anyway, but I love him even more for doing corrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lij'sgirl Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) i was quite shocked when i walked passed a magazine stand in a magazine shop and i saw it say Ian McKellen stars in Corrie or something like that on one of the TV guide mags...when you look at him playing Mel you can see Gandalf still in him, cos of the way he smiles, but it gets abit of time getting used to him wearing different clothes, cos you always see him in that Grey robe...but everytime i see him i always think of him as Gandalf and a Gandalf image comes to my head lol Edited May 10, 2005 by Lij'sgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narago Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 ian is just brilliant in corrie he is only doing 10 episodes, hope he considers doing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeltz-lass Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Agreed - I love the way poor Norris is so smitten. And yes, it's a huge shame he's only doing 10 eps, though maybe that's how long the character's arc runs? Ah well, enjoy it while we can! *wonders if any other LOTR cast members would like to be in Corrie, besides Orlando* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
