You can generally read what you want to with someone like Danny. I just see him as a bit of a WUM whose posturing is part of his public image, and as a result I find it quite amusing and like it (at least he's never boring.) Someone else will take it as proof that he's awful and hated on the EE set and one cock-up away from being fired spectacularly.
As I understand it the main point of the interview is Danny discovering he's related to royalty on WDYTYA hence him being on the front cover mocked up as a king. Considering he often has a leaning towards 'tongue-in-cheek' in interviews, I don't find it a stretch to believe he was being a wind-up in this one, perhaps more than usual off the back of the WDYTYA thing. As _elly001 pointed out earlier in this thread all the signs are that he's well liked by his castmates. |

Danny has a weird and nasty vendetta against the guy. Keep dismissing Danny's comments as a public act, to me its something far more serious and unsettling. |

Bib. I'm usually one of Danny's biggest defenders but maybe the cast keep a dignified silence when he gobs off.

Even if Danny made the comments about Steve and Adam as a joke do you think being humlilated over their 'lack of experience' is something both of them will appreciate? he should not have brought their names into it. They wouldn't have asked him to say that.
Likewise with the cast and crews of Emmerdale and Coronation St. Do you think they will be happy he claims they aren't fit to 'lace EastEnders boots' ? ITV issued a denial when The Sun claimed Corrie actors had been calling EastEnders 'Deadnders' notice the BBC haven't denied Danny's comments. |

We have no idea what Adam and Steve's feelings on this are but I don't think it's helpful to assume they're humiliated. For all we know there's an ongoing, good-natured ribbing on set with Danny giving them a load of sass for being 'old timers' and them telling him to go back to making straight to DVD movies. They might all be reading this interview on set today and having a good old laugh at Danny dressing up as a king on the front cover and describing himself an absolutely amazing actor. Literally, nobody knows apart from the actors concerned.
It's like any work environment. You need to know who to say stuff too

Glendarroch, it isn't me that thinks actors should be embarrassed or ashamed of being on soaps, but for most in the acting industry Soaps are something to look down upon. I guess they think because the writing is often poor and the acting can be very rushed it doesn't deserve to have the same prestige bestowed upon them like theatre. Soap actors work the most hours out of anyone in the given mediums.
Thanks for giving insight, it was enjoyable if a little disheartening to read. Well you didn't add anything to the topic in the post. It seemed like you were trying to pit me against someone else. Sorry if I read the situation wrong. All I wanted to do in this thread was say I agree with Danny Dyer on some points and praise him for actually having a career away from soaps. It isn't easy and yes some actors like Woodyatt have had it easy. Why do people on these boards always seem to have to make topics personal or take them personally when their favourite actor is involved. |

Regardless of the guys on EE, the other soaps actors deserves a bit more respect Elly. If you don't know people very well then it's very easy to insult them without meaning it.

Other soap actors have slagged off EE in the past and will no doubt continue to do so in the future. Just the other week there was an article about Corrie actors calling EE 'DeadEnders'. Yes, that may have been completely made-up by the press, but if they're going to trade off the rivalry in soaps then why can't Danny join in? It's just exaggerated football-style posturing and as EE are now pretty much the underdog as far as ratings are concerned, it's not like he's kicking anybody when they're down.
I see your point about Danny but I think that there should be an element of professionalism |

That was made up completely so I don't think it's fair to equate that to corrie actors when it was basically a lie by the tabloids Elly.
I see your point about Danny but I think that there should be an element of professionalism I don't really care about professionalism in such a fickle industry as the entertainment one. In fact I quite enjoy it when actors and singers are petty. It's way more interesting to witness and discuss. Look at all the comments this thread has generated. Danny knows there's a market for this type of thing and plays on that. Good luck to him, I say. I would say that if he has upset Steve and Adam, that is completely unacceptable as it would inevitably lead to a bad atmosphere on set. But without knowing the full story, I'm happy to believe that Danny knew what he was doing with this interview.

Lets say if Jack P. Shepherd said EastEnders wasn't fit to lace Corrie's boots would it be dismissed as banter?
Likewise if Danny Miller had said it. |

We can't say for sure it was made up completely though I agree it probably was. In the past, however, Corrie actors in particular have apparently been quite catty about EE.

Anyone who works on whatever soaps deserve equal respect including Danny himself

I wouldn't t be surprised if the Star has taken some comments that were meant lightly and just run with them. They don't t give a monkey's s who' s reputation they ruin

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? |

Because he can only play himself, if he had to play a part with a different accent he would be lost. Revolting little man.

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. |
