"He's so full of self-confidence that some of the more established stars didn't take to him, which hasn't helped. Danny has been very quick to promote himself at every opportunity."

"He even took to wearing a baseball cap to the gym - as if he was DAVID BECKHAM and had to hide his identity."


He's an arrogant tosser, isnt he? I personally hope his career bombs after leaving Corrie! A show of this calibre doesnt need a pathetic nonentity like Danny Young bringing it down.

Congrats to Tony Wood for having the balls to get rid of him!

There was a piece about him and Nikki in the Daily Star, saying she is considering leaving the show as she thinks their relationship wont work if she stays after he has been sacked.

Apparently he Danny has done a photo shoot for comic relief, some of the pics are without his shirt on

I thought the character had much potential as part of the Baldwin family, and as part of the Candice relationship.

However, the minute he arrived on screen, it was strange how so many people took to him so badly.

One of Corrie casting's biggest blunders...

Had they hired a decent actor - and there are plenty of them - Warren could have been a fantastic character.

I hope you havent taken my post as slating the character - I mean that with the right actor, Warren could have gone down a storm!

Lets hope this doesnt mean the beginning of the end for the Baldwins...

We've still got until July left with him. I agree that the character did have plenty of potential and that he was an important part of the Baldwin family, especially since there will soon be Danny's big storyline.

At least he'll be one less under 21 on the Street - the biggest age group on the Street I'd say. His acting wasn't too bad - just his accent.

Completely agree. The character of Warren could have been fab, however, the actor was not up to the job and was incomprehensible to most people watching (I saw him in that thing with Tamzin Outhwaite as well and he was really good, which confuses me even more about his Corrie performance). Perhaps, they might recast Warren and transfer him back to Weatherfield County in a year or so. If Candice goes as well it won't upset me that much, she's okay, but not really that great an actress, very limited. The poor man's Posh Spice is amusing, but there's not a lot else for her to do.

But well done the producers for realising it was a mistake and acting fairly swiftly to get rid.

It says in that article he's launching himself as a DJ? None of the viewers would be able to understand a word he said, and I doubt very much that any decent radio station would hire him.

Whats wrong with his accent?

Saw him on Soccer AM recently and he sounds perfectly normal to me.

His accent: It seems to be a joke in the show anyway.

God, I'm just so pleased to be seeing the back of him, that I don't even really care how much of an arrogant toss he is. Hope Nicki follows him out of Weatherfield for good too.

I'm glad he's off, don't like him at all. But i though they could have come up with something a bit more juicey than "he wears a baseball cap to the gym" to prove what an alleged t*sser he is.

I don't get the bit about wearing a baseball cap to the gym. So ?, do people not wear baseball caps ? Are well-known faces exempt ?

C'mon! It's the small minority like you that are the reason he was ever hired in the first place as ''eye candy''. You're just boosting his already over inflated ego with comments like that.

Think you might have quoted the wrong post there

The football scenes were rubbish anyway. Why can't soaps ever make them look in the slightest realistic?

I saw him on Celebrity Stich-Up a few months ago and he seemed like a very cocky so and so.

My friend saw him at the British Soap Awards a few months ago and she said he was quite arrogant and he loves all the media attention.

When will people learn that there is no one bigger than the show, even Corrie has survived without the likes of Bet Lynch, so I sure they cope without a no one like Danny Young :yawn:
