no it makes him and other people think someone spiked his drink Billy which does happen in clubs particulerly in Blackpool these days. Yes indeed, dear Valda, I do not doubt that the practice of spiking drinks is rife in Blackpool. But the point is that even if Mr H's drink was spiked with ketamine, the fact that he apparently recognised instantly that it was ketamine doesn't exactly speak well of his previous record in respect of that particular substance. D'ye get me? |

its not only spikeing drinks that is rife in Blackpool ,knifes are also rife there I have a friend who lives in Blackpool who say,s its unsafe to go into clubs and even pubs there at the moment . even with his past record repeat past record why should he have taken ketamine we only have the papers word he said that don,t we? so no aparently I do not get you Billy !

I'll try and make this simple. JH apparently knew immediately that his drink had supposedly been spiked - with ketamine. How was he able to recognise so quickly that what was in his drink was ketamine? Don't you think that suggests he might already be familiar with the substance?

no I don,t and I don,t think that way Billy it seems that you do though so forgive me I,m going to smite you for being so nasty minded to think that way! I don't think it's particularly nasty-minded to wonder how he knew what ketamine was like. If someone put it in my drink I wouldn't have a clue what it was. I certainly wouldn't be able immediately to say "Aaargh - someone's put ketamine in my drink" the way JH apparently did. |

you,ve just said as I did JH Apparently said and that was according to the paper Billy wasn,t it? ok you have a point but from what I,ve read Ketamine is tasteless so he wouldn,t have known apart from being so ill that someone had spiked his drink you,ve got a point so I,ll give you the karma back.

I'm with Billy on this one. The fact he knew what the drug was shows his history with the substance. It's not as if it's rohypnol or something.

I`m wondering how much of that article is true. I haven`t heard anymore about him being fired.
I must admit I don`t know anything about drugs at all, so I can`t comment on whether Jimmi knew about ketamine or not. I only knew about it because it`s what Zoe on Emmerdale injected into Scott. Dunno about side effects or anything like that.

I hate the hypocrisy over drugs/booze and smoking. They're all bad for you but when you get kids with liver damage and others dying of drug overdoses in their twenties they should come down just as hard as they do on smoking. I don't think they've ever sacked anyone for alcohol or drugs problems, have they? Kevin Kennedy got help through them as did Craig Charles, so of course they'll stand by him.

I disagree with you AntParker no he shouldn,t be kicked off was Lloyd or any of them kicked off as you charming put it when they had trouble with drugs and this time its not his fault someone spiked his drink!, he is good as an actor would he have been a Bollywood actor or have been in causualty otherwise as well as Coronation Street?. ok he,s hardly seen but thats not his fault blame the scriptwriters they,ve forgotten about his shop and him and Amber lately. how can you call him a slimeball you don,t know him do you?.

I don't think they've ever sacked anyone for alcohol or drugs problems, have they? Kevin Kennedy got help through them as did Craig Charles, so of course they'll stand by him. Patsy Employers have a certain responsibilty towards their employees: if someone admits to a drink or drugs problem and wants help then the employers should support the person up to a certain point and not dump them on the scrap-heap. They might want to say 'Nobody FORCED you to get smashed, you idiot' and try and get rid of someone who they now regard as an embaressment. But if they feel like they have a duty of care towards that person ie if the presuures of the job/fame etc contributed to the person being driven to drink or drugs to ease their workload, then the employer should be asking 'Why is this person feeling so stressed/inadequate or whatever, and did we cause it?' Then when they give people time off to sort themselves out in rehab or whatever is the therapy of choice they've done all they can. It's the drinker/druggie who needs to do all the work in recovering and it's got to be a lot easier for them when the threat of unemployment isn't hanging in the air as well as everything else. If the person persists with the boozing or the gear then the employers can get harsher - after all, other people in the cast manage to turn up for work sober and sensible and someone else who is drunk/hungover/strung out is going to start to spoil other peoples' work too - which just isn't on. |

I think antparker is talking about the character of Dev being a slimbeball, valda. And he does have a point about his acting!  |

Dev should be kicked off hes no good as an actor hes never on he is a slimeball Thats a bit drastic...the character of Dev was a slimeball and I think Jimmi plays him well, by bringing Amber into the show they have made him act a bit more responsibly...altho they could have done that with Sunitta and the twins without axing them.. They didn't offer Jennifer Moss as LUcille any help with her drink problems in 1974..they just fired her |

Things were different back then. It wasn't the golden goose they're killing now. Also wasn't Jennifer unpopular among many of the cast?

Peter Adamson was a drunk, and a mean one at that. Yet they kept him on for years until that nasty incident at the swimming pool.
Yes Pats, please spill the beans about Lucille

They stood by Peter Adamson until he spilled to the Scum then he was axed. People at that time thought there was no smoke without fire and his career was never the same again. When Pat Phoenix died he was in Canada doing a play.
Blimey I can't remember without digging things out but I know there was no love lost between her and Bill Roache.
