The likes of Nicola Wheeler, Charley Webb and Danny Miller, have posted on a fake account for former ED actress Sammy Winward.
They are friends of Sammy and know full well she is not on social media, so why would they post on an account they know is a fake one

She has an official account too, but they should know I guess if they're close.

Maybe they thought she' d changed her mind?

More to the point, why would anyone set up a fake account?

Her account has a tick so I'm assuming she provided proof that it's really her. I would think too that she would tell her former work colleagues in person or on the phone that it's her account.

It's a fake account.
Sammy has said she's not into Twitter.
She has a facebook account to keep in touch with friends overseas, but that's it.

Lol.
It beats me why anyone would go through the trouble of setting up fake accounts under the name of a 'Celeb' but there are loads of them out there.

How do you know it's a fake account? Lots of Emmerdale actors are following her. Like someone said, maybe she decided to have a Twitter account after all. As I said she'd need proof it's her to get a tick on her account and her colleagues would know it's her

It has the good old blue tick, now I know they don't hand them out for fun right?

I think its rather sad that you think its a fake account but come on here and advertise it rather than report it to twitter

not a fake account she joined recently anyway as I remember one of the ED lot tweeting she had just joined.

The ED cast are normally the first ones to let us know if there is a fake account of one of thier fellow cast members and advise us not to follow - this happened with Ryan Hawley (Robert) recently on both Twitter and Instagram...- Danny Miller was made aware of "Ryan's" page by fans asking, and he told us straightaway the account was fake.

I think the fact that Sammy has the blue tick, and the fact people she has worked with for years talk to her on there, and her twitter name has been used in promotional tweets for her book & by ITV for Prey, pretty much proves its her, rather than a throwaway comment she made in an interview months (or even years) ago.

OP - aren't you the person who said Sammy deserved to fail because she 'lied' about the way she left ED? And said so many, many times? Apologies if I've got the wrong Stellers.

If you take a good look you'll notice there are no personal tweets from Sammy, about any normal, day to day trivial stuff, so this is clearly not a proper twitter acoount!
It looks very much like someone [an agent?] has set this up purely as a promo tool for Prey and Sammy's book.

To verify an account takes proof from that person, she has obviously sent 100% solid proof, just accept it.

If someone uses it on her behalf then she will know about it.

yes there are normal and personal tweets to other people mostly.

not all "famous" people tweet about what they had for tea but use it to promote themselves

It's verified as others have pointed out and she has personal tweets on there to her friends incl Charley Webb so I don't understand this thread at all.

Speaking of Prey.
I'd like to know why Sammy's name is about 6th on the credits yet has only had a couple of very short scenes in two episodes. I only tuned in in the first place to see her, so i feel a bit cheated by the amount of publicity she did for next to nothing.
Hopefully, she'll have a bit more screen time in the final episode.

That is why....It clearly worked on yourself so probably the same for many others and some of them may stick around longterm
