To think Bill Roache needs to hang his head in shame?

[dublindee]

Just saw sky news article on my iPhone re this:

www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/coronation-street-actor-bill-roache-1772534

I am disgusted. I think he should be sacked and I think he should make a public apology.

Nomoremarbles i thought the same. who knows.

Utter fud.

Disgraceful, vile and bizarre.

I agree with NoMOreMarbles. It was my first thought.

Sack him
Sack him
Sack him

Sickening opinions, esp. when so many victims of abuse are finding the courage to speak out and go to the police

I thought the same, must be some revelations to come.

Unfortunately many otherwise sensible people do believe that victims 'bring it on themselves', particularly young female ones. So I agree that he should be brought to task for it.

And he's a shit actor.

On a shit soap.

He does need sacking, the producers have got to stand up and say we do not want people with extreme views working on our programmes, he is working with young girls and he quite frankly shouldnt be. If someone sprouted racist, terrorist views these days they would be out of the door sharpish. ITV should make a stand against views such as his.

I totally agree, allegations are looming for him.

The trouble and sad fact is, there are people who will read his tripe and agree with him, for some he has qudos as he is a celeb (of sorts).

I am not sure if I am correct in this..but isnt 'Pure Love' a phrase some paedophiles have used in the past to justify their viles selves ?

"We should all be totally forgiving about everything"- I imagine he'd think differently if he'd been the victim of sexual violence.
I bet he won't get sacked though- the Corrie bods will find a way to wriggle out of it just because he's been there 200 years.

He has daughters ole Bill, don't he ? I wonder if he would be so forgiving of "pure love" if some sexual predator targeted them. What a fucking tool.

That apology just angers me even more.

He is a PRICK. With ears.

That is all.

It's not even an apology. It's as slippery as him.
Sleeveeny horrid little man.

slimy toad face

greencolourpack - that is the first thing that crossed my mind when I read about this. I thought - this man is justifying some action in his own life.

Just saw this on the evening news. Agree with the posters who suggested he may have skeletons in his own closet. Think they may be escaping soon. In the meantime, Barmy Bill has himself escaped off to New Zealand.

Wonder what he thinks about the allegations against Kevin Le Vell?

Kevin Webster/ Michael Le Vell is it?

Yes, I meant Michael Le Vell. Got confused.

I think what an 80+ year old celebrity says about women should be treated with the same indifference as what anyone else's grandad said about women. He isn't an imprtant person, he's out of touch and read too much crap on karma (as have many mumsnetters judging by all the posts when some numpty pops up with "what goes agoung comes around"). Just ignore him, his opinion shouldn't matter. why do some people expect soap actors to be oracles of wisdom?

"what goes around" sorry trying to type and eat

He needs to speak to this lady as I think she could set him straight on a point or two.

Has his Twitter page disappeared?
