i wonder what hes been up to ?

I worked in a bank some years ago and I remember when this guy got his big break - he had to negotiate an overdraft off me. I let him sweat for a bit before giving him the benefit of the doubt when his producer sent me a nice letter.

He didn't let me down & paid it all back....

I used to be Danny Kendall's (Grange Hill) boss.

And talking of Grange Hill, Bullet Baxter is currently playing at the Theatre Royal in Mother Courage - gave me quite a shock when I saw him.

Zammo from Grange Hill is now a locksmith running his own business and shop in Wallington. He has a picture of him in Grange Hill in the window. He looks just like you would think he would look now, Zammo , but 25 years older!

I saw Former Eastenders Chav "Joe Swash" (just googled to find his name out) in a cinema in Wanstead, and after the showing of "Borat", in the car park.

I can confirm that Mr. Swash was dressed in a Beaney hat, with his kecks at half mast showning his Calvin Klein pants á la the fashion of a couple of Summers back.

I can further confirm that he looked like a total pr*ck as he sped away in some birds low end Porche.

I have not spotted him again.

I hope this helps.

Well, I hear that Kylie Minogue's still knocking about, but what about Helen Daniels and the rest?

The lady that played Helen Daniels (Anne Haddy) died shortly after filming her final scenes for Neighbours. She obviously lived for the show.......much like me. :blush:

To be fair, it must have been stressful being her.

I seem to recall Helen Daniels having a stroke, a heart attack (or maybe several), being run over on possibly more than one occasion, and countless other ailments.

We thought of her as indestructible when we were kids. Going slightly off on a tangent, one of the scariest moments I can ever remember on TV was the sight of her wrinkly lips kissing some equally old gimmer, before disappearing off to paint in the great Bungle Bungles in the sky.

I'm still traumatised by that now. Old people kissing: it shouldn't be allowed on TV

:lolol: :lolol:

Judging by the photo, she died in a nasty hair-drowning accident that was just waiting to happen.:nono:

The woman in that picture (apart from the gorgeous Kylie) is Madge, think she now lives in Ireland (MYOB our resident Irish expert may be able to confirm).

Big lad he was too :eek: :eek: :eek:

Ex-children's presenter (forgotten his name) served me in the cafe in North Road (with the hostel attached) just up from Gardner Street. Got really pissed off with me when I said "didn't you used to be famous?"
