It’s always the same script isn’t it?

He may genuinely be unaware of what transitioning actually is now.

I agree it's frustrating but I wouldn't just assume faux naivete.

Noted that one of his first replies was kissing the arse of that godawful Spiller of Tea bloke, which unfortunately really does tell us all we need to know.

Don't hold back, Beetle...! 😂

EmmaEmerald · 25/01/2023 17:32

Okay, I should have kept out of it.

sorry, I've been battling this since 2014, then gave up, then started again after realising how many people didn't actually know what was going on...then dropped it again....so I don't know the zeitgeist etc on this.

Seriously, I have photos with this man, autographs, signed theatre programmes, signed books. I've drank with him, eaten with him.

He's obviously never got over the fact that in the old days him and Andy Serkis were in theatre together.

And well their careers haven't exactly taken the same direction have they?

I'm holding onto the programme though as it's also signed by Andy Serkis as well.

@Boiledbeetle there is a reason their careers have gone in different directions, could it be to do with talent?

I outed myself to an actor friend over Christmas then had a nail biting wait for his response.

Gcfemale · 25/01/2023 17:45

@Boiledbeetle what you outed yourself as a Reece Dinsdale fan? Did you ever hear back from your friend?

Boiledbeetle · 25/01/2023 17:45

Thankfully, as he loves Labour, he tweets about them enough, if he wasn't GC he kept his opinions to himself

Is Billy Bragg giving online workshops?

Probably not getting much work. Trying to burnish his credentials

Unfortunately as his fan base are now angry middle aged menopausal women, he's not done much to enamour himself to his target market with that tweet.

FredaDrainedHerCocoaCup · 25/01/2023 17:52

Didn't recognise the name but I know who he is now, no word of a lie my gut used to do massive "Bad man bad man" flips when I saw him on anything so not fucking surprised.

One guy going on it's just 6, just 6. Forgetting all the women locked up with them.

This. It's such a fucking wind up. What about the hundreds and hundreds of women those six men are coming into contact with?

It's like a litmus test. They are simply incapable of focusing on anything other than the man in question.

That's how you know they see sex as binary, just like everyone else.

Oh yeah some of his parts did have that effect. Thing was, and we are talking a long time ago now, he was actually a really nice bloke.

God knows what happened.

NeighbourhoodWatchPotholeDivision · 25/01/2023 18:00

Check out his twitter bio: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows".

That describes Reece's behaviour nicely, doesn't it?

oh that must be it.

And obviously the extended period of time he has spent in seclusion in an underground cave with no internet access has had a dreadful effect on his career as well . Poor man , socially naive, thin cv, jobless……..

viques · 25/01/2023 18:05

36 acting credits since 1960. Last in 2014. Some people cling on by their toenails .

StephanieSuperpowers · 25/01/2023 18:06

How many of these men are there? Ooh, I don't understand the problem...why not be nice, ladies...oh, you're so mean and angry, I can't listen to you....

FredaDrainedHerCocoaCup · 25/01/2023 18:10

Can anyone tell me where Robert Webb is with GC stuff these days? I was kicked off Twitter a couple of weeks after Graham was and I haven't been back since, I know Graham has now gone back.
Just wondering if he's backtracked like so many others.

I had to check he was born by 1960.

have I got the right person in mind? In Emmerdale now, did NT production of This House a few years back?

Boiledbeetle · 25/01/2023 18:13

Of course there was a time when he was the big actor and Andy Serkis not so much.

Shame about the current state of their respective careers hey Reece

Was it RD who was married to Gail in Corrie, and drowned during an insurance scam?

Busy with personal health issues, so quiet on the subject. But I doubt he's changed his mind.
