To be fair, I think I sounded like a castrated Scotsman with my voice-acting ability

Mixed reports today that Samantha Womack has quit over the storyline. BBC are suggesting it's not the case and she was leaving for other reasons. Good for her I say if she has.

[Nom de ploom]

if she has left of her own principles then fair enough - sheam the storyline couldn't have been changed to perhaps prevent this - not that I care about the show, but she seemed to be a brighter light amongst the gloom....

I think she's getting the bank back together. Too many of us miss "Womack and Womack"...

Did she work in Banking before she started acting then?

Mumsnet?


I just think the whole think was handled in a particularly insensitive way!

[HoHoHo]

I hate the program.....

But I thought I'd turn over now to see what was happening, and guess what.............People are shouting at each other.

Can't they bloody talk, do the directors have a shouting test rather than an acting test?

What a load of absolute ste.

Per BBC article, "Parenting website Mumsnet was flooded with complaints over the current storyline, prompting it to write a letter to the BBC suggesting that "as is all too common, a bereaved mother has been portrayed as deranged and unhinged"."

From what little I've seen of Mumsnet (basically just the thread where they laughed about hitting cars and driving off), they know a thing or two about being deranged and unhinged.

tts. It's a fking tv program. No likey, no watchy.

So after the whole baby swap story, they now decide to run a story with 'the mental's' sister, acting as a surrogate for a gay couple. Isn't this asking for more trouble and a little close to the last storyline?
