Well whilst there are sadly negative posts about Michael Parr, I have noticed, a lot of them do come from people who think that the actor and the character are the same! On Facebook i see comments like "horrible actor! he's a nasty piece of work". It really is lunacy in some cases. This is what happens when you play a villain, you do get hounded by a lot of those people who don't realise that this is a fictional program.

Kate Oates and Michael Parr have recently expressed their expectations of these comments (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...08538919,d.d2s)

Plus we are now living in a world full of social media, so there's bound to be a lot more negativity to characters like Ross than where maybe Cain first joined ED. Now obviously, Cain has had a lot of work done on him and softened a bit so it's not as extreme.

It's nothing to worry about, at least the actors and the producers realise this.
