Cocaine binge Corrie star faces axe today

LMAO

I hate the character he plays, so smarmy and up himself, and as I understand it its not all that difficult for him to play the part, being as he's much the same IRL.

He shoulda gone up with one of his corner shops during the Mad Maya Monday hehe

Damn now everyone knows I'm a soap addict! :p
 
F*cking tabloids. Stupid f*cking tabloids. They always manage to come up with the important issues in the world like this. So he takes cocaine - big f*cking deal, that's his business. And then they bask in their own self-importance because they destroyed someone's career. Well f*cking done.

Quoted For Emphasis. I cant stand tabloids.
 
Your forgetting these people sign contracts and are in the public eye and are expected, as pointed out on the contracts to keep up a particular image, since he's likely a roll model to some inpressionable people, being on a pre-watershed soap. Doing what he did and getting caught breaks the contract he agreed to.

It's his own fault.
 
The fact of the matter is that no-one would have known about this if The Sun hadn't gone out with their camera and snapped happily away knowing that it would destroy his career. If no-one had found out, then he wouldn't really have been a role model. As far as I am aware, it wasn't interfering with his professional or public life so what right does this paper have to drag him through the dirt? It happens all the time and it makes me ill that people revel in such things.
But yes, to an extent it's completely his fault. I just can't stand what the tabloids constantly do.

Potayto, potaahto.

Oh, and that would be the same News of the World that printed the names of listed paedophiles and generally incited vigilante violence all over the country? That bastion of journalistic fabulousness that caused many innocent people to be abused and persecuted because they had similar names/looked similar to listed paedophiles?

The News of the World has one saving grace: It's not the Daily Mail.

Now your protecting paedophiles and blaming the media for the actions of the public who can't read properly.

What that rag did was grossly irresponsible, and the editor should have faced a custodial sentence for what she did.

I can confirm that the guy who plays Dev is a bit of a tit, I've met him and hes quite arrogant.

The only English newspapers worth the ink and paper they are printed with are the Daily Telegraph and the Financial Times.

Erm, no. TDE, you're a reasonable person and seem like a generally good guy so please don't go around accusing me of sympathising with paedophiles. That's just insulting. It's not "nuff said" - that's bollocks and you ought to know that.

When I said mentioned what the News of the World did, I was simply pointing out what a hysterical pile of nonsense the paper was. No publication - at least no legal one - is within its rights to incite people to violence. Which is exactly what it did. The actions themselves were carried out by morons, yes. However, the writers aren't completely stupid and they knew full well what the consequences of their actions would be. It was irresponsible to do so.

I'm not in any way shape or form condoning, supporting or defending paedophiles or sex offenders of any description (that you implied I was, as I've already said, is insulting in the extreme) However, we live in what is supposed to be a rational, civilised, democratic society yet here we had instances of people taking the law into their own hands. The result of this was innocent people who looked similar/had similar names/similar areas being attacked and persecuted. How can you defend a publication that all but encouraged people to do such a thing?

The fact is that, rationally, you cannot and this is where my criticism of that rag lies. To shift copies of their shitty publication they - with full foresight of what the consequences would probably be - built people up to violence, going beyond the law. That level of unprincipled greed is shocking and immoral.

And now they also drag more innocent people's lives through the mud in the name of "entertainment"!? He took cocaine. Until it interferes with his career or causes a serious problem that is his business. If the police caught him, then that is a justifiable way for it to come to light. I do not believe that this entrapment is permissable just so that they can shift papers. It's not for the good of the public, it's all about profit and if they destroy someone's career to that end then so be it. How can you defend that? Once again, I don't believe you can.
In this respect, it's not just the News of the World I have a problem with but every tabloid and celeb mag that focusses on such trivial issues in people's private lives that are, for the most part, no-one's business other than their own.

Finally, The Torygraph isn't that great, really. Huzzah for The Grauniad and their whinging lefty subliminal Socialist leanings :)
 
meh half the professionals, entertainers, politicians out there do coke ..they're the only ones who can afford it on a regular basis.
