I suspect the OP may have various aliases like the one they used last night, they may very well be up to mischief, believe nothing from a newbie without a link

He has done a few other roles but he's typecast now. Even if Phil was the only role he'd ever played he's still done more in that one role than Dyer has done in his countless bargain bin films. Can you honestly see Dyer tackling the storylines McFadden has undertaken over the years? The man looks like he's sleep walking through the part. I can barely understand most of what comes out of his gob due to his ridiculously put on accent and his mumbling of ancient Cockney rhyming slang.
I don't know if he could do the storyline as well as Mcfadden probably not. Mick is not a very exciting character he hasn't had to go there, he's a likeable mild mannered loyal family man and I think Dyer has done a competent a job of being that character and displayed some subtlety and it is different to his typical character or real life personality .The most emotional he had to get was in Linda rape story and I think he was fine there. Most of the time his expression is limited but I think that's partly deliberate.
I don't think he's a great actor but I think Mick was different to what most were expecting and the character has made an impression.

But I think these comments he's made is rubbish I can think of many soap actors who have to express much more than he does in their roles and could potentially do much much more in other roles.
But Lacey Turner wasn't one of them and she's probably soaps most decorated actress/actor

So did he really trash his co-stars? Also they are all soap stars, why is he acting like he's more superior because he played one type of role for years until EE.

I have no idea whether or not Danny Dyer can act but he really is doing himself no favours in either behaving this way, or allowing himself to be portrayed as ' provocative. ' Whether this is who he really is or a persona he and EE use to create publicity it's s coming across as nasty, unprofessional and childish. There are times when if you can't say anything nice, you shouldn't t say anything. If he has been misrepresented then I hope the BBC demands that a public apology and retraction, and is published because it makes neither him nor them look good.

Could you imagine if Scott Maslen or another EE actor started trashing Steve or Adam and played it off as a joke.. smh, Dyer needs to grow up and act professional. Don't know why he felt the need to say that (if he did) if it was to give himself and EE promo he's going about it the wrong way.

Isn't that how he gets his attention, by trashtalking and twitter fights? It seems like he isn't getting talked about, in his mind, so voilà. And he's happy he's getting some attention again.

Oh dear he really does think he's bigger than everyone else. To trash your own colleagues though? What an arse. Doesn't surprise me though he's always getting into scraps on twitter. Has he said anything on twitter. Would have thought he would be denying if he never said it.

I thought a tweet from Jake Wood was interesting. Maybe nothing to do with this at all but even still

"Work Hard diligently and quietly and let any success you may have make that noise"



Eatsenders has been bottom of soaps for me for a while so his shock at Emmerdale winning makes me laugh

How very unprofessional and disrespectful to all people who work in soap.

I'm a big Danny fan but there's no defending this

Squinty-eyed Danny Dyer bashing other actors? That's a laugh.
This. He does think he's bigger than the show

Don't know much about the guy, not being an EE man, but it does seem he has rather a large mouth & a very flexible foot!!

Ohh I love all this drama. True it would have been better if it was bitchier and nastier, but I'll take what I can get.

I've been critical of him in the past but he's absolutely spot on regarding Woodyatt and McFadden. They are lousy and the only way they ever look marginally decent is when they share a seen with an even more appalling actor which lets face it is nearly every episode. If Adam or Steve could actually cut the mustard they would have left years ago. Instead they just phone in their performances and grab their tax payer funded cheque.

This is much better than any soap at the moment and I hope it all kicks off. Sadly I think Danny's on his last legs or warning at EE. Shame I actually like the core Carters.

Says a tenth rate actor who made tenth rate straight to DVD bargain bin movies.
His tenure at the Vic has been the most boring I have ever seen in all the watching EE.

Mr Dyer is not even the best actor on Eastenders, never mind the best actor from all the soaps.

True but at least he managed to support himself for years in the big wide world without relying on one role.

And umm EE isn't exactly some high caliber production. I'm sure if EE were ever relased on DVD it would be right next door to the bargain bin.

I can't believe he would say that about Steve and Adam. They are MUCH Stronger actors than he is.

Also, he thinks that he is a better actor than Benedict Cumberbatch?! Give me a F***ing Break!

Lets be honest if Dyer is so good then why has he spent most of his career in tv movies?

Why hasn't he had lead roles in hit drama series or even went to America?

Ratings are trending downward for TV as a whole/the vast majority of shows...

Another way of looking at it: EE hasn't dropped as much y-o-y with Danny in the cast as it did in the Kirkwood and Newman eras.

I read this interview yesterday and was shocked, I like Danny but to speak about your fellow co-stars like that is rude. If Sean last's until the end of next year I can't see Danny's contract being extended, after that fight with Mark Wright he has been unusually very quiet on Twitter ... probably warned by tptb.
There was no fight with Mark Wright. Several of his mates jumped Danny in front of his daughter.

But why would he leave when he's clearly on to such a good thing? He's already said he sees EastEnders as his "retirement home". The comments about Steve McFadden and Adam Woodyatt not branching out look even more silly in that context.
That was taken in good humour by his co-stars IIRC (was it The Graham Norton Show EE special?).

No one said he was fantastic, just that he managed to support himself and his family through his acting.

At the end of the day, no matter how crap or cheap they are, tv movies and direct to dvd movies are better than being on a soap. Soaps are the bottom of the totem pole in the acting profession only ahead of soft porn films.

Being on a series having a lead role role is not the only measure of success of being an actor, nor is running off to lalaland.

Based off some of his pre-EE interviews, I don't think it's a persona cultivated by EE or the BBC. I think it's just Danny himself being a WUM/a bit mischevious. Like you Glendarroch, I presume the EastEnders publicity department will have sanctioned and approved the interview which makes me doubt it was of malicious intent. They'd be shafting one of their own to let this go to print if his tongue hadn't been firmly in cheek.

As I haven't read the full interview (and I'm reluctant to take second-hand accounts from seasoned Danny critics into perspective, especially any claiming to have read it before the edition its in had even gone to shelf) I'm still keeping an open mind until I have. Not that I buy RT but hopefully more will appear online.

Call me naive but this wasn't something that was overheard or sold to a paper by an unnamed source. It's an interview with a pro BBC publication promoting a BBC show given by an actor working on another BBC show.

The Benedict Cumberbatch snippets that were doing the rounds from this sounded bad, then I read an article on the Radio Times website where they didn't sound anywhere near as bad in context.. So it could be the same with everything else he's said.

If said in the usual DD tongue-in-cheek way I will cut him some slack, though I realise his media persona/ribbing isn't to everyone's taste, but if said in a serious context then I will say he's big headed and has been foolish. A sackable offence? No but a talking to may be in order.

I have no loyalty towards any soap, but that's pretty rich coming from a rank average actor like Danny Dyer to be brutally honest. He should work on his own acting skills before bashing others.

It may well be that he's trying to increase publicity for EE, but there's a fine line between promoting your show and being plain disrespectful to your fellow professionals. But Dyer seems to think he is above it all. I could understand that mindset if he was Al Pacino or Robert De Niro... but he's not. Not anywhere close.

I personally think Corrie and Emmerdale should hire Mark "Tit Face" Wright's mates to rough up Danny Dyer. That'll sort him out.

Just kidding of course.
