I hear he's going to do a Bob Geldof. That'll be an extra mouth to feed in a 3 bed semi.

Heres an article about him going into Shortland Street
http://throng.co.nz/shortland-street/from-their-street-to-ours

Does anyone know if the Morton Mum will be joining Corrie as a regular - from what i've seen its a no no, but it may give Jerry someone to communicate with other than his kids, as i just cant see Jerry and Gail getting it on Shocked


He still has be selected to be the official Tory candidate for Chester, plus the next election is projected to be a couple of years away at least-- so plenty of time for acting projects in the meantime.

I think his appearance in Shortland Street was only for an episode or two. I actually didn't think he looked that thin, bearing in mind he is naturally ectomorphic. Besides the pictures weren't of him shirtless, so we couldn't see if the infamous six pack had disappeared... although he revealed a short while ago he had a bullimia in his youth.

I can't warm to the new family. Jerry (sorry Sinbad) is OK, but why do we need six kids? I can't see them all of them being of any use!


Adam Rickett never did nowt for me at all even in the days of his 6 pack -totally not my type. And he couldnt act either.

I havent warmed to the new family much either but I guess Jerry is the best out of them. I want to see more of Carla, she is quite underused really. If they dont give her some decent storylines im worried Ali King will quit like Sean Gallagher did.

Adam Rickett always acted with a gasp and then oooover proooonouncing his ooooooo's. In fact, in one of my first posts on this forum I was commenting when Ken fell through his bedroom ceiling.. "Oh? Mr Barloooooooow?" *cringe*.

Agreed about Adam Rickitt - he was a bit too much of a 'pretty pretty boy' for my liking. But if you happen to come across the photo of Liam with his tits out anywhere online, do let me know! Wink

As for the Sinbad family, I'm not sure as yet. It's always difficult with new characters and families as they take a while to bed in. Maybe given time we'll grow to like them.

I must say I didn't think Adam Rickett wasn't chosen for his acting abilities in Coro !! He's straight BTW, just split-up from a long-term girlfriend.

If you buy What's on TV there's a good pic of Liam, but the brain-donors who edit the mag have decided to print text all over him Laughing

When did Sinbad actually leave Brookside? Probably going to sound weird - but would it have been a soap first if they kept him as Sinbad, but he had just moved into the Steet after leaving his wife?

Fabulous - thanks. Very nice too, (and worth the potential question from the boss as to why I've been accessing 'Famous Male Forums' on the work computer system). Wink

I'd given up on Brookside well before it finished, but I've got a feeling he wasn't there at the very end (might be wrong tho).

I'd also thought it might have been interesting to have kept him as Sinbad. Not sure how they'd explain his large family - but then if they can move Ashley and Claire's stairs with no explanation...

Incidentally, if they had done this, it wouldn't have been a first. One of the Musgrove lads from Brookside moved to Hollyoaks as the same character. Also in Brookie, at Jacquie Dixon's wedding, there was a cameo from 'Cousin Jill' who supposedly ran a hotel in the Midlands... played by Jane Rossington, aka Jill from Crossroads.

Brookside and Hollyoaks were created by the same people, well Phil Redmond anyway, so they could get away with it (parallel could drawn with Tanya Turner and Footballers' Wives/Bad Girls )

I'd forgotten about the Footballers' Wives / Bad Girls crossover. Had Bad Girls not been axed, I'd have absolutely loved to have seen Tracy appear in it after leaving Corrie.

Ah yes i remember that! Its amazing what you remember when someone joggs your memory Razz

I dont mean to go off topic here, but was that Musgrove person the one who raped Nikki Shadwick?

I'd have prefered Jerry to have a nerdy type son, instead of the typical "can't be bovvered" type. A nice sensetive soul.

It was Luke who rapped Nikki not Matt (I'm talking Brookside here, not Bros Wink ) Matt Mussgrove migrated to Hollyoaks.

Sinbad left Brookside around 2000 after being accused of child abuse by the jealous son of a girl friend. The accusation was false but he was so upset that all the neighbours didn't believe him that he left. This was due to Michael Starke wanting to leave.

In fact the original script was for Sinbad to be found guilty and sent to jail but Michael was so upset at how the scriptwriters could treat his character after 16 years that he made them change the script.
(well that's what he said in a This Morning interview when he left)

I noticed Chesney's voice as well, guess he's at that voice dropping age. Apparently he's going to be the 'teenager from hell' Rolling Eyes (where's a yawning emoticon when you need one?)

how boring, they did that with Nicky, David, Rosie, Tracey and probably every adolecent they've had on the programme in the last 47 years.

let me guess, in 2017 Josh Peacock becomes a teenager from hell and and give Amy Barlow a quick snog whilst going out with Bethany
