I am a gay guy and i find this new guy very bad. He needs some botox to clam his face down - notice the movements in his face and eyes whenever he speaks. I dont mind camp people at all - but hes very OTT.
I liked the guy and I took to his character right away. I thought some of his scenes were amusing. Yes, at the moment his acting is over the top but let's all give him time to settle in and to calm down before we all judge him.

I agree.. I found the lecture he gave to Eileen about hair-care pretty funny. As were his comments about Big Brother, and the risk of him having to settle for accommodation that could lead to a pigeon nest on his head.
I have to say despite my earlier misgivings I did find him quite funny. I'm gay myself and although slightly OTT I found him quite entertaining. Now, that was just two episodes of him, we'll see how he develops in the coming weeks.
I don't know where all of this has come from! Shaun was asked to come back because he was popular the first time he was on the show! Hes only been in 2 episodes. Give him a chance. The writers can't keep him acting so OTT like this forever. I'm sure it will tone down soon. So far, I like him!!

Yea i noticed those OTT face movements right from his first scene. My first impressions, i don't like him!
I thought he would be awful after reading peoples opinions of him on here. I was a little sceptical at first...until I noticed my mum nearly crying with laughter at him and actually saying he was "nice"...bless her! Then I thought, any premeditated ideas of him I would lose, and found myself laughing at him too!
A lot of people don't and won't like him because he's camp. They look at Todd and Karl and see them as 'normal' and therefore acceptable. I'm only 38 and am gay. I grew up with only 2 gay men on TV. Larry Grayson and John Inman. And that was it. If anyone thought gay they thought of them two and thought all gay men were like that. I'm not. I never associate myself with them, and like many people I resented them. I know see them as 'fun'. Not a sterotypical gay man. But part of the whole gay 'thing'. Live and let live. Accept and love everyone. Life's too short.
