Send her to therapy!

We know that Cameron spent some time at school in England but it might only have been a year. In any case, I agree - I like his voice.

In other words, they basically have they accent they had where they went to school although a "lilt" has interfered with it.... Cameron, the actor, on one of his pro pages mentioned that he was brought up in Gloucestershire, but could do a Scottish accent....
I. too, like the actor. Good addition IMO

Lol Like I said Dodger is Nico's father

Is Cameron's accent fake? I hadn't noticed, it sounds quite authentic to me!

Re the accent thing, it's not just who you go to school with but other influences as well. I was brought up in Essex but my mother is from the North East but basically lost her accent at University (it was still part of the education to have everyone be RP by leaving back then) and is now RP with the odd Teeside lapse. Likewise my father went to private school and is very posh, no London accent where he was brought up at all. But my grandparents retained their regional accents and we used to go back North every holiday so I grew up with a real mixmatch and most people don't have a clue where i'm from when they meet me. I'm not accentless but have some traces of Teeside, some Durham, some TOWIE, some quite posh from Dad. So I think it is fair enough that Cameron could have retained his basic accent if his parents still had theirs at home when they moved to England andit was too strongly set in by the time he went to Prison but some English influences have slipped in over the years.

Mercedes really can't go a day without sex can she? Trying it on with Dodger so soon after Freddie and moving on to the next target when Dodger needed to leave. Does she think the hole will close up if not constantly used or something?!

Haven't seen yesterdays E4, I believe the Roscoe boys say goodbye to Sandy. Anyone got any advice for such horrendous and traumatic scenes?

That's Thursday's E4

Freddie really is THE worst actor on the planet!



He needs to pop back to acting school and learn another facial expression

Yeah, the actor was born in Scotland (and presumably has Scottish parents) but moved to England when he was young so he basically has an English accent in real life. It sounds authentic cause at one point in his life it was and his family will sound like that, I guess.

I seem to be the only person who picked up on the fact that it wasn't his real accent so obviously he's doing a good job. I think it's because he's doing the part of the country i'm from so it heightens my ears to it or something, hehe.

kitkat1971 Yes, its not just in early life. Like I said my Aunt sounds like she's from Manchester to me but she didn't move there until she was in her twenties so before that she spoke like a Fifer. Or look at someone like Gerard Butler, his accent is so weird in real life now. He sounds so odd from living in LA yet Billy Connolloy still wouldn't be out of place in Glasgow. I think certain people are just naturally more like mimics and pick up other people's ways. Its quite interesting. I'd like another accent.

Yes, you're right - some people just have an 'ear' for it and are more influenced. Also, it can be a matter of choice. Some people try very hard to lose their old accents after they move so they more easily fit in (one of my best friends came to Essex from Glasgow when she was 12 and lost her accent very quickly as she was being bullied for being different but her parents and brother retained theirs) whilst others are fiercely proud of their 'roots' so will cling on to it.

Also, sometimes accents just sound wrong because of what they are surrounded by. I've noticed it with English actors turning up in American shows - they sound like they are putting their English accent on abd they aren't - they sound the same as they always did but because they are in amongst Americans and not other English it seems off. Check out Warren deRosa (Rob Hawthorne's) guest appearance in Charmed as one example of this.
