Or in the Dev masterclass, there's the often-used combination of the two in which...
you start out talking quietly , then get a bit louder, and then SHOUT AT THE END!
Maybe for sake of variety, he could take tips off Michael Le Vell as to how to act everything 'angry and yet slightly confused'.

at least the girl who plays amber has an excuse, she's in her teens, with little experience and is learning to act. how old is the guy who plays dev, 40 odd and he has two acting methods
shout / don't shout
shout / don't shout

Two things happened in the Monday night double episode of Corrie - techniques were used that aren't normally allowed on British soaps. I haven't been this excited (!) since they used incidental music when EastEnders went to the seaside and Tiffany's lover Simon turned out to be in love with her brother. (Hey didn't they steal that plotline for Corrie?)
Anyway, on Monday, Cilla looked into Dev's CCTV camera, and the producers decided to cut to the output of that camera. So we saw a mocked-up black and white image with Cilla gawping straight at us, with the time and date on it. I'm not sure why they did this. Perhaps a new producer was showing off?
Then in the second bending of the rules, Steve's squeeze Ronnie had a flashback. I've never seen them do that in Corrie before.
What next - voiceovers from dead characters? Ghosts? Bullet-time on the cobbles?

Me too, I like Amber, she has some funny lines!
As for flashbacks, AFAIK Corrie have used them once before, way back in 1970 when Bill Gregory came back and Elsie Tanner had a flashback of them together sometime in the 1960s (it was b/w). I only knew this recently as the episode was on the 1970s box set, and I was surprised as I didnt know Corrie ever did flashbacks. There may well have been others at the time but ive seen very little episodes before 1976.
As for ghosts, they have already been there with Betty thinking she saw a ghost in the Rovers in 1975!

Don't forget, there was the millennium episode in which Ken "looked back" - though it wasn't the full-screen flashback, it was just a "circular flashback" above his head.

When Ken was going to top himself & Bet saved him, did they use voiceovers then?

I once read an interview with Steven Arnold and he said he'd pleaded with the producers to allow him to bring his voice lower as Ashley aged. They eventually agreed but he did it a little at a time so that the viewer wouldn't really notice - looks like it worked!
