I saw this earlier. Very sad news. Gunther was a very popular character. I’ve name changed in his honour.

I'm really shocked I had no idea he was unwell.

Gone far too soon Sad

Way too young, he always seemed lovely when interviewed Sad

Someone posted this on Twitter:

“And, and when I'm in a cafe, having coffee, or I see a man with hair brighter than the sun, I'll think of you”.😭

This has upset me, and i’m quite shocked as to how much. Not something I would have liked to have found out before going to sleep tonight (and I’m now sorry for posting if it’s made anyone else feel the same). Goodnight.

@RachelHasThoseInBurgundy great choice of name. I'm sad. He was a massive part of that show for me, and countless others I'm sure.

“And, and when I'm in a cafe, having coffee, or I see a man with hair brighter than the sun, I'll think of you."

Amen to that.

So sad. I read about his illness just after the reunion. I had hoped for a better outcome.

A treasured part of an iconic show.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 25/10/2021 01:19

No! That's so sad.Sad
I haven't even gotten over Sean Lock and Willie Garson yet.

RIP James

Lawlawlawlaw · 25/10/2021 01:45

So sad.

Graphista · 25/10/2021 02:38

This has upset me too op more than I'd have expected

He seemed a genuinely, utterly lovely man. And was so funny in friends! It's not just the writing it's the delivery too.

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba I'm shocked I missed the news about Willie Garson (who of course also appeared in friends) LOVED him especially in white collar which I'm always recommending!

So awfully sad Sad
