What is he supposed to have said or done?

Thanks.

[Postdog]

got drunk in a family restaurant, got abusive and foul mouthed and revealed storylines. Funny how there was an undercover reporter involved tho innit......

[Ethel]

Thanks postdog. :)

I know he nearly got sacked last year for making racist comments at some posh 'do'.

But it would seem this incident is entirely different. Silly man.

[Suzyboo]

Not entirely different if alcohol was involved on both occasions!

[~Wingnut~]

He revealed the Tracy verdict!!! ...as well as the abuse stuff.

just read in this mornings Sun, that he's been suspended, AND on hearing this news, headed straight to the pub and ordered a pint of guiness! D*ck for brains!

[curlyperm]

...................er, thats him heading straight for the pub....not me. lol

[chazza]

I didnt hear about him being abusive, but on the radio it said he got drunk in a family pub and told dirty jokes and revealed future plot lines

[Ethel]

:(


Janice was suspended for being drunk (don't know her real name), Dev and Craig Charles were both suspended for taking drugs.

They have good jobs, with a regular income, which isn't always easy in the acting profession. You'd think they'd be a bit more careful.

well according to a friend of mine who is an estate agent, he is (les aka bruce jones) one of the 'Don't you know who i am ?' brigade, and is as loud mouthed and arrogant in real-life as he is on tv, my friend arranged 5 viewings for him in and around the Marple area, and he never bothered to turn up for one, at the end of the day these people are only two-bit actors who end up disappearing up their own backsides, deserve all they get i say!

[ursula44]

I agree with you Ethel....they are in well paid, regular work and should be grateful. Makes me laugh when these mediocre actors LEAVE a soap thinking they are destined for bigger and better roles and are never heard of again, end up advertising double glazing or something !

[Postdog]

Just as an aside, I never thought he could act anyway. Chesney puts him to shame. Blimey, even Smeikel (?) puts him to shame.....

[Sausagegirl]

I know someone who worked in the Corrie PR department who set up a birthday bash for an actress who has since left, got Hello to cover it and she moaned the whole night that Hello were only paying her ten grand for it.
These people don't know they're born.

What an ignorant, nasty man - if it's all true, of course.
