Barry from Eastenders has a special karaoke night in September at a venue not too far from me.
' barroike ' or something it's called !
Sounds great (but it's a bit of a dive venue there. )
Apparently it's good fun though.
He seems a nice man , he does the paddy power ads on tv too with Peter crouch.
I was gutted when he ' died' on EE! Bloody Janine butcher

Chris McCausland is a Scouser and Jasper is a Brummie - maybe their intonations are similar, but their accents are distinct from each other.
Well I’ve got myself into a right muddle there! I’ve no idea what made me think it was CM then, because it was Brummie.

I think the Olsen twins made so much money from their acting career as children and their merchandise that they never have to work again!
They're involved with one of the most coveted brands in fashion now www.therow.com/en-gb/pages/about-us

Mary Kate and Ashley and Nicole Richie. I know Nicole married Joel from Good Charlotte and had children with him and Joel’s twin Benji married Cameron Diaz (such weird couples!) but I barely hear anything about Nicole now. MK& Ashley seem to have disappeared.
Also Russell Brand.
An interesting piece here on Brand’s descent into conspiracy theories: here

covington was brilliant. Where is she now? They need to re-run Rock Follies. They don’t make series like that any more.

I sometimes wonder what happened to Julie Covington - Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson didn't disappear from performing in the same way
I loved Rock Follies! I still have the LP and sometimes listen to the songs on YouTube as I don't have a record player any longer lol.

Sean Williamson aka Barry from Eastenders always does exceptionally well in celebrity versions of quiz shows, and I wonder whether he's ever considered hosting one instead?
I've never met him and I've no interest in Eastenders, but he is one of my absolute favourite celebrities. Amazing quizzer, amazing singer, seems like such a genuinely lovely bloke, so humble.
I think he would make a fantastic Chaser too, if they were looking for another one and he had the time for it - apart from having two Shaun Ws might get a bit confusing!

The Governess
The Sinnerman

I think you’re thinking of Sid Owen, no idea on the drink driving front but he played Rickaaaaayyyy. Dean Gaffney played the local litter picker with the Alsatian called Wellard.
Doubtless you're right! The last time I watched it Wellard was in it. I think Arthur had run off with the Christmas Club money....

It's a lighthearted thread where people can reminisce about celebs of their day who are now mostly replaced by younger actors, presenters and what not.
Of course we can just Google what they are doing now, buy that wasn't the question.

Because @xsquared , I hadn't gone through the 10 previous pages of speculation! I got to about page 4 and posted my comment. Obvs, the point about it being a chat forum was on a later page
But having a 'chat' doesn't preclude you from looking up whether or not someone is dead, or if they are working in a theatre production rather than on telly!
xsquared · 20/03/2023 10:01
Did you read the post before yours, because that answers your question?
follyfoot37 · 20/03/2023 09:57
Does no-one on this thread have google?
All this speculating - why not just look it up?
Ok

I think that was when I last watched it too!
Alison Moyet lost a lot of weight. I believe she’s still singing.
I heard an Enya song the other day. I think she is another one who took some time out and is enjoying her money.

She's currently on the TV with some form of advert for something.
