Dyer was a total idiot and the reaction he got was thoroughly deserved. |

OMG! Really? I've never heard that before. That is disgusting Who are these bloody numpties who can't separate fact from fiction? An actor from his role? |

This is extremely unfortunate, both for Linda and the show. The timing of course, could not be worse given the fact the show is in full throttle preparing for the 30th anniversary. I think however, the anniversary might not be as Carter heavy as it will be just after a Carter-centric Christmas. With regards Linda, I sincerely hope this isn't true. Obviously, I would give the majority of people enough credit to be intelligient enough to seperate Linda from Shirley. However, there are the minority who confuse the actor with their character. I think most people on here who dislike Shirley the character, have given valid reasons. |

The guy who played John Stape on Corrie was attacked after the pedophile story. |

I remember a big part of Alex Ferns' decision to leave EastEnders was because he got so much hate mail and hatred in the street. Must be horrible. |

I've met Linda so I know this isn't true because she posed for a photo and asked how my day was. |

Pretty much agree with this. We cant really assume or presume anything of this matter neither of us know Linda or her accuser and we have very little detail on the accusation itself either. An ability to seperate character and actor is essential on so many levels and is pretty basic imo. As you highlight the case of Tony Discipline perfectly were assumptions were made and conflations due yet the case collasped due to weak evidence. |

As well as the guy who played Trevor Jordache in Brookside back in the early Nineties. |

Trevor Jordache is now in Fair City (Dublin based lower budget EastEnders) and still people remember him more for his role as evil Trevor in Brookie. I look back on that era of soap fondly, when it could be gritty and genuinely shocking. Notably Brookie and EastEnders. Corrie was still a few decades behind. I'm digressing sorry.... |

Digression or not, you're absolutely right about Brookside and EastEnders. Just look what happened to Brookside, however, when it hyped up sensationalism and tits and arse. |

Ridiculous that Linda, who's normally so reserved and shy that she rarely does TV interviews or appears on red carpets, was accused of saying "Do you know who I am? I'm Shirley!", let alone using racist language. Glad Diane Parish and DTC spoke up on her behalf too. |

Long live Linda Henry, who I've been a fan of since way before Shirley Carter, thanks to her roles in A Beautiful Thing and Bad Girls. |
