Sad..Good actors dropping off like flies..All leaving the sinking ship I suppose..Only crap ones left soon..
Yes that's true even those who have lost their jobs and money, they can still frequent these going concerns in such a small street/s, does'nt happen where I live, when you have lost your job, you lose money and you
can't visit the boozer let alone eat in cafe's or Bistro's!!
I'm sure there will be some more ex band singers who think they can act jumping on the bag wagon!!!
Time the Soaps visit drama schools and discover real talent eh??
Gotta love Digital Spy sometimes. Fountain wasn't abruptly written out even though there was no question of his guilt. His pre-recorded scenes had to stay in because he was part of Karl Munro's downfall.
Edited to add: It's just been on the news that Bruno's been charged with 2 counts of sexual assault.
that is true but no one on that street is squeaky clean and only phelan knows todd involvement and when all his bad deeds come out no one will care todd was also involved as he will gone, i would hold eileen and todd responsible too for the scam as well as phelan and vinny, eileen so thick stupid a silent accomplish :pQuote:

Corrie insiders have revealed that Bruno's final scenes as Todd will air on Christmas Eve
Coronation Street star Bruno Langley has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two women at a Manchester music venue last month. :angry:
The actor appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning (November 28) charged with two counts of sexual assault after two women reported being assaulted at a venue on Swan Street in Manchester on October 1.
The court heard that Bruno had grabbed the crotch of one woman and touched the breasts and bottom of the other while drunk.
He pleaded guilty to both sexual assaults charges and was told he may face a custodial sentence, the BBC reports.
Bruno – who played Todd Grimshaw on Corrie for 16 years – left the ITV soap after an internal inquiry in October.
In a statement released at the time, Coronation Street confirmed that Bruno was "no longer contracted to the show".
Langley also confirmed he was leaving the show in a statement that said he was honoured to be a part of the soap.
"Sadly, I will no longer be working on Coronation Street. Acting on the show has been the fulfilment of a personal dream," the statement read.
"Playing the role of Todd Grimshaw since I was 17 years old has been a huge part of my life, and an absolute honour.
"I would like to thank all of my friends who work on the show for their love, friendship and support during this extremely difficult period.
Bruno first appeared on Coronation Street in 2001, with Todd being the show's first openly gay character. He left in 2004, but later rejoined as a regular in 2013.

Former Coronation Street star Bruno Langley avoids jail after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting two women
He appeared and was sentenced at Manchester Magistrates' Court today.
Coronation Street star Bruno Langley has been sentenced after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting two women at a Manchester music venue last month.
The actor appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning (November 28) charged with two counts of sexual assault after two women reported being assaulted at a venue on Swan Street in Manchester.
According to BBC News, the court heard that Bruno had grabbed the crotch of one woman and touched the breasts and bottom of another while drunk.
After pleading guilty to two sexual assault charges, the Manchester Evening News reports that Langley has been handed a 12-month community order, including 40 days of rehabilitation activity.
District Judge Mark Hadfield also ordered Langley to become the subject of an electronically monitored curfew for 12 weeks, and must sign the sex offenders' register for five years, as well as pay his victims £250 each in compensation.
In a statement delivered after the verdict, Bruno said that he "sincerely apologise[s]" for his "disgraceful behaviour" on the night in question.
"I have absolutely no memory of what happened because of excessive alcohol consumption and it was for this reason that I behaved completely out of character. However, I take full responsibility for my actions that night," the statement continued.
"Since this incident I have been dealing with, and confronting some personal issues that I have never addressed, and I am also getting help for an alcohol problem, so that this does not ever happen again."
District Judge Hadfield told the court that Langley had expressed remorse for his actions, as he explained that Langley had avoided a custodial sentence.
He also added to Bruno: "I suspect it will be difficult for you to obtain employment in that industry again. Time will tell."
Bruno – who played Todd Grimshaw on Corrie for 16 years – left the ITV soap after an internal inquiry in October.
In a statement released at the time, Coronation Street confirmed that Bruno was "no longer contracted to the show".
Langley also confirmed he was leaving the show in a statement that said he was honoured to be a part of the soap.
"Sadly, I will no longer be working on Coronation Street. Acting on the show has been the fulfilment of a personal dream," the statement read.
"Playing the role of Todd Grimshaw since I was 17 years old has been a huge part of my life, and an absolute honour.
"I would like to thank all of my friends who work on the show for their love, friendship and support during this extremely difficult period.
Bruno first appeared on Coronation Street in 2001, with Todd being the show's first openly gay character. He left in 2004, but later rejoined as a regular in 2013.
Bruno Langley has blamed the stress of playing the soap's first gay character for the sex attacks he committed on a drunken night out.
The actor molested four women at a Manchester music venue last month, but was only charged with sexually assaulting two of them.
Langley - who played gay character Todd Grimshaw in the soap - wept in the dock yesterday as he avoided jail after admitting both offences.
His lawyer told the hearing: 'Something happened that night, most possibly in relation to the character he was playing.'
It is understood his comments refer to the stress Langley felt being a straight man playing a gay character.
Langley was in the Band on the Wall club in the early hours of October 1 when he touched the two women.
Instead of a jail term, the 34-year-old was ordered to complete a 12-month community order and submit to a curfew.
He was also ordered to pay £250 to each of his two victims. He must also sign the sex offenders' register for the next five years.
Langley, who is split from the ex-girlfriend with whom he has a son, apologised to his victims after the case and revealed he is getting help for a drinking problem.

todd on run after hitting a police officer
New details of Todd Grimshaw's exit from Coronation Street have emerged after the actor Bruno Langley was axed from the show.
Langley appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court earlier this week to plead guilty to two charges of sexual assault. He was given a 12-month community order, including 40 days of rehabilitation activity.
He had previously been axed by Corrie "following an internal inquiry".
Todd has remained on screen since Langley was sacked, with the character's already-filmed scenes airing as planned.
Scripts have been re-written and his last appearance is expected to be on Christmas Eve.
Langley's character Todd will apparently be written out by going on the run after hitting a police officer in an off-screen altercation, The Sunday People reports.
Todd will commit the assault after the officer gets involved when Todd has an argument over custody with the grandmother of Summer, his foster daughter.
It is thought that other characters will talk in the New Year about Todd having left Weatherfield following the incident, and that he may not even be in the country.
Todd's mother Eileen, played by Sue Cleaver, will apparently call Todd a "stupid boy [who] never thinks".
Bruno first appeared on Coronation Street in 2001, with Todd being the show's first openly gay character. He left in 2004, but later rejoined as a regular in 2013.

Shame about Summer, if she is to be written out, very likeable character.
I don't like Summer one little bit.Quote:

Hope he leaves his info about Phelan - perhaps he could hide it somewhere to be found later ...............
todd and summer exits are awfully done
To give them the benefit of the doubt, they did have to move fast with Todd's exit.Quote:

bruno's last scenes tonight
Well it is such a Shame Todd has gone, he was one of the few characters that actually brought something to Corra, I am not normally
a fan of bringing in "new faces" to play an actor, but after all how many times was Nick Tilsley portrayed by a different person, if it's good for one?????????????:clap::clap::clap::clap:
I guess they may well do in a while. I suppose they think it's too soon just to bring in a new actor straight away.Quote:

Should bring in the other Thomas brother to play Todd now that he has left Emmerdale.
Think he wants to do something different to soap .. but that might be a job for him when he realises that panto season has an end and I presume the big movie roles might not come along as quickly as he is hoping ???Quote:

Fans saw Peter Barlow convince Todd to go on the run with Summer to protect her from Geraldine but he was actually just trying to hurt Billy, whom he later accidentally left injured at the foot of a cliff.
As Billy now continues his painful recovery, he and Eileen drive to meet up with Todd as planned and they are all going to go away together. However, when they arrive, they find Summer alone as she tells them that the police caught up with them and Todd won't be coming home.
Fans know that Bruno Langley's character won't be appearing in the soap again so this looks likely to be the final exit story for Todd but as Billy then brings Summer home, he has even more problems to deal with.
Having spotted his excruciating pain, vengeful Adam is swapping Billy's painkillers with much weaker paracetamol and then trying to persuade him to get some stronger stuff from him, which is obviously a trap. Meanwhile, Adam has contacted Geraldine and she is immediately back on the scene.
As Adam tries to trick Billy into accepting dubious drugs and Geraldine remains focused on getting Summer back, is Billy a out to lose the girl he sees as his daughter as well as losing Todd?
Hopefully!
oh what a naff story line, so weak, I just don't get Adam at all, what sort of character is he trying to portray? what ever it is, it's rubbish!!!
what a stupid story summer told, you couldnt make it up could you :p
better if phelan had killed him
Or just get him replaced with a different actor .. I wonder if there is a reason they never seem to do that when an actor becomes untenable .. Tommy Duckworth, Sharif Nazir, now Todd Grimshaw all had rubbish exit storylines as the actors were sacked with immediate effect and no time to give their characters a proper departure ...Quote:

Best bit of the story was Summer remembering her lines, how good was she?:cheer:Quote:
