Sheridan Smith

[butterfliesandhurricanes]

She’s definitely troubled. I think the death of her father plays a huge part and probably the breakup with her sons dad too. I hope she’s okay. Her career kind of changed the past few years. As someone else said she was fast becoming a national treasure highly respected actor and she probably had the pick of the roles! She seems to have really lost her way, maybe something happened that we don’t know about which means she’s no longer getting offered these big roles. Very strange.

It’s such a shame because I loved watching her career because she was literally a normal girl no fuss no rich family just a great talent. To go from two pints to Olivier award winning and these massive drama roles was brilliant.

It's not clear to me if she has pulled out of strictly because of the crash or something else...but whatever the reason I feel like her life is falling apart. It's been said before on here and other forums that she needs help with whatever is going on with her. I hope she realises that before it is too late.

SS has now thrown strictly into chaos as she's pulled out of duet with Gary Barlow.

Interesting reading this thread.
I've followed Sheridan's career since two pints. She played some amazing roles a few years ago and was the go-to leading lady, so it was strange to see her presenting that dog grooming show and doing those cover albums.
The moment she began getting those huge arm and hand tattoos was when I really felt something wasn't right (nothing against tattoos, but an actress getting that many big visible ones in a short space of time felt like a red flag)
I hate to say it, but I've known alcoholics and both her appearance and behaviour almost certainly points to a serious problem with drinking.
Just hope her little boy is being looked after, she clearly loves him to pieces!

Must agree about the tattoos again nothing against them and I guess they can be covered up, but seems like it could vastly limit roles she might be offered. Such a shame she was one of my favourite actresses.

Glad I found this thread! Been a fan of Sheridan and all the people from two pints, I’m watching two pints atm lol and have been enjoying will and ralfs podcast and was hoping for a reunion of sorts but from watching them talk about a reunion it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, anyone know what happened between them?

I hope Sheridan is ok, she’s always been a fav of mine and I hope she can get through what she’s going through for her sake and her little boys xx

I've only listened to the first ep of their podcast, but from what I remember, did Ralf pretty much say she's ghosted him for a while now. Such a shame - I remember them hanging out for years and they seemed to be very close friends

they were great together in The Royle Family as well. It’s a shame, they have such a good natural chemistry.

Press day for the new reality show Sheridan is on next year and she wasn't there...

Yes and complete silence from her since her car accident......

Sheridan strikes me feeling like she is nobody without a man. On her Insta she is gushing about the new one, who turns out to be an old flame from 20 years ago. From the gushing you sense she feels she is punching. She doesn’t get it, she is the catch. She is talented, wealthy, well regarded in the industry. Sheridan, know your worth..

I know this post is from weeks ago but I’m not really sure about her 'punching'…. A few years ago yes but she’s gone downhill fast. I’m a harsh person because I’ve had problems with terrible anxiety and depression* in life but I got myself over it by seeking help and plugging away at getting over it and I'm disappointed when people turn to alcohol (or drugs) or just don’t bother helping themselves. Sheridan has plenty of money and time to get herself sorted, others don’t have that luxury, as others have said she will squander her talent, her wealth and sadly maybe her life.

*ok the depression is a work in progress but you can’t give in.

I said this on another thread but I‘m shocked by what she’s done to her face. She looks awful. I hadn’t seen pics of her for a while and then there was the coverage of the car crash. At first I honestly thought the paper had mistakenly printed a photo of someone else.

The poor woman seems to be deeply troubled. A dreadful shame when she had such a bright future in the palm of her hand. I hope she’s not beyond help but it’s not looking great.

 

[Nuttyzebra]

Anyone else think she's gone into rehab? Maybe the car crash shook her into doing something about her possible substance issues?

 

[rock.chick93]

Pretty sure she has been diagnosed with personality disorder? Know she done a documentary about it around two years ago

I’m a recovering alcoholic, I’ve got a good few ‘one days at a time’ under my belt. I can see why people turn to mind altering substances - I know why I drank so much - but I’ll be honest, it is frustrating when you know there’s another way out and they don’t/won’t take it.

I was a complete head when I drank (at the end anyway) because I was so self absorbed, I thought I had it worse than everyone else and I was a professional victim. That’s a hard mindset to get out of when you’re an average Jo, but if you’re surrounded by “yes” people who enable you at every turn, then it’s harder still.

I’m not sure she has anyone in her life who are completely honest with her - maybe her dad held that role. But it looks to me (and it’s just my opinion) that she’s completely free falling and in jeopardy of losing everything.

I don’t think I’m an alcoholic on the outside but I do often lie about how much I drink. To others, 3 bottles of wine is s really good weekend. To me, it’s a Tuesday night… I don’t drink everyday but I do find I need a drink prior to most social situations as my anxiety had hit the roof since the first lockdown. Nobody knows, and there’s always jokes about needing glass of wine after work/dealing with kids etc

“It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!” was me…except mine was 5am. It’s always said in AA that nobody there will tell you you’re an alcoholic and back when I was that head and some people would share how much (or how little) they were drinking and I would wonder what they’re doing there (judging everything on me, again).

I know you didn’t ask for advice so I apologise in advance if I’ve overstepped the mark, but what stood out to me is that you lie - that would make me think you were unhappy with it and think others might be too. There’s a difference between just not being honest and hiding bottles, sneaking to the shops, disguising what you’re drinking etc. But either of those could cause you issues and it’s going to feed into your anxiety.

I totally get the social anxiety thing because I still have it too, and lockdown and all the certainty it’s thrown up…I hear you.

I used to look down my nose at alcoholics and drug addicts because I never indulged in drugs and whilst I could drink with the best of them could give up alcohol tomorrow. There isn’t even any in my house ever unless someone comes round.
Turns out I was an addict but just in other ways. I was a sex addict and I would date a different woman every night and I thought I was some cool stud until a brilliant therapist sternly told me I was an addict. I was so caught up in my own life and drama and problems that I made excuses for what I did and how I treated people and I pushed so many people away through my behaviour and lost loved ones and ruined others’ relationships.

My therapist convinced me to do the twelve steps and do group therapy with other addicts and it changed my life. Everyone has their own addictions and vices and I implore anyone to get help if they need it. You are not alone and we all go through struggles and addiction in some form at some time in our lives.
If you aren’t embarrassed by who you were last year then you aren’t growing and learning enough.
Sending love x

She seemed to play similar characters, like she was the sort of council estate girl on Two Pints and Tower Block . I liked her in Jonathan Creek , her character was quite boho in that. . Then she played real people from the 60s like Cilla and Mrs Biggs and people realised she had more to her as an actress.

Her face seems strange. It's like seeing someone who looks like her.

She is truly a fantastic actress, musical star etc. it’s a shame she has her self destructive side to her
