Hollyoaks - Should Parry Glasspool (Harry Thompson) be fired?
For the second time he was apparantly made an offensive Instagram video that has been removed.
He made a video about "crazy" girlfriends and showed a knife in the video. This has upset some fans as they think he is "mocking domestic violence" and want the actor sacked. |

No!
As long as he goes to work and does his job the rest of it is none of our business. If Lime deems he has broken his contract then any disciplinary proceedings are private. the gen public don't get to decide if he should be sacked or not. Plus without seeing the post's there is no context |

This is hearsay and I haven't seen it so can't comment on this specific case. In my opinion there is far too much of this sort of censorship going on now - which seems ridiculous when you look at the explicit content being shown in films and on tv

If there is any truth in it, not seen so can't comment then it would be down to HO to deal with in its own merit.
But its can be easy to get offended on instagram look at people going crazy over Victoria Beckham kissing her daughter. I even saw users going bat shit crazy at Jac Jossa fiance for posting more pictures of his son so then his daughter! |

I feel he should be fired. It's the 2nd time he's 'joked' about serious issues (date rape + now domestic violence). BK is a hard task master and has previous of firing at HO + EE. The guy who played Sonny got sacked and then lost his job as Billie Jackson in EE when BK was in charged and that was just for poor time keeping. What Parry has done is much worse as he has offended people who have been through rape and DV.
Also he should be fired for crimes against acting tbh. He's awful. He's destroyed Ste, although he has done that himself by being awful Ste. Harry is a character who is dispensible imo. All he's done since he joined is come to term with his sexuality and be in arguably the worst relationship in the history of HO. Harry wouldn't be missed and it would give Ste the chance to be single and away from this awful relationship. |

If he isn't sacked I can see Hollyoaks suspending him. Stephanie Davis was axed just for turning up with a hangover. |

You are right about BK. He axed Heather from EastEnders because the actress gave a News Of The World interview without BBC press office approval.

BIB - I think it was a bit more than that. I think it was for continually turning up unfit for work because of alcohol.

Stephanie Davis was sacked for constantly turning up drunk and delaying filming but at the end of the day its not as bad as what Parry's done. Hes 'joked' about rape and DV which is unacceptable in anyone's mind. 2 serious topics which HO have covered in the distant and not to distant past. BK should think not just about Parrys said but the consequences of it as he's hurt people who've experienced it. Plus the negative press HO will get on the back of it. Parry and his character Harry aren't indisposible unlike other actors/characters in the soap.

He needs sacking for being a nauseatingly bad actor.

this is what it is all about to be fair I have seen much worse, his jokes have been misunderstood and are probably in poor taste but not sackable offences in my opinion not like he was actually threatening anyone |

Gone are the days when just about all celeb daftness could be buried. |

Extremely poor taste given the spate of knife attacks in recent times even if many of those were motivated by other reasons.

I don't think so. I don't agree with his "jokes" but I think a lot of people are too easily offended. Why are these situations never used as an opportunity to teach people where they've gone wrong - it seems to be that one must be perfect at all time or else their careers/lives will be ruined.

That Cheryl Ferguson news is interesting. I wonder if her sacking contributed to Bryan Kirkwood's downfall with the EE cast. There was rumours they were all furious about Pat being killed off too. I bet other things went on we won't ever know about. Sounds like he is a pretty ruthless man tbh.

I think he is ruthless but you need an EP to be that way |

Coronation Street producers gave no second chances to Chris Fountain for his distasteful YT rap antics
![]() But Kirkwood loves his shirtless six-packed twinkies on the show, so I'm sure Parry will be safe. As he well knows. However, as somebody pointed out already, his horrendous 'acting' is reason enough to sack him (again, though - not going to happen!)
