Whatever happened to …..?

[Reverend]

A few spring spring to mind. Emma Wray, who played the annoying sister in the 80s TV show 'Watching', the cast of Brookside and the singer Yazz. All seem to have disappeared.

Yazz became a christian and does a lot of tours around churches.

Emma Wray was last heard as a nanny.

Philip Olivier aka Tinhead was on Benidorm and also on Four in a Bed with a floating guest house, now he runs a tour bus in Liverpool.

He also does Doctor Who audio dramas playing a new companion to Sylvester McCoy.

Channel 5 did a countdown show a few months ago. Each episode was a separate year and counted down the best selling singles from 1980 - 1999. There were some talking heads and popstars who had hits in each year and I recall Yazz was in the 1988 episode. She looked really well.

Yazz lives in Spain and is a Christian/gospel singer

Brookside my specialist subject! Philip Olivier aka Tinhead was on Benidorm and also on Four in a Bed with a floating guest house, now he runs a tour bus in Liverpool. Leon Lopez aka Jerome is a director now, his name pops up on Corrie and Hollyoaks credits occasionally. Jacqui Dixon is on Hollyoaks, also had a flop coffee shop in Liverpool. Jen Ellison has a stage school. Nikki Shadwick, the one who played her dad and Sinbad pop up in Scouse plays. Matt Musgrove went into Hollyoaks and sadly died really young, think he was only about 30 god love him

Omg didn't know about Kristian Ealey (just looked him up) how sad, only 38

Whatever happened to all those singers that were promoted as the next big thing, hyped up, in all the mags and they had one or two big hits and disappeared?
Little boots
Sam Sparro
David Jordan
Dizzee Rascal
Honeyz (yep i know they were on Big Reunion but not heard from them since)
The 411- loved them
Hepburn
Mini Viva

 

[RachRN86]

I love a blast from the past! I would add Estelle to the list… she had that massive hit with American Boy and seemingly nothing else…?

She voices and does the music for Steven Universe now

Dizzee rascal has been arrested for assaulting his gf

 

[StormSolitaire]

Remember as well she was out about 4 yrs before American Boy with a song called 1980, I just know it from the track listing from Now 58 and she was always in Cosmo and Company as ‘one to watch’

 

[OoglyBoogly]

1980 was a great tune!!

 

[Emerald37]

Whatever happened to the vast majority of the Byker Grove cast that were not Ant or Dec, Jill Halfpenny, Charlie Hunnam and Donna Air.

What about Spuggie?

 

[OoglyBoogly]

I think I heard that Spuggie is a cleaner.

[Sticks&Stones]

Sam Sparro and Little Boots are good shouts, such a shame they seemed to vanish into thin air, both Black & Gold and New in Town still sound great over a decade later.

 

[Fiosrach]

They both kind of disappeared didn't they? I think hey have 3 kids and are still married.

Freddie has a cook book. And sarah is a co owner of some kind of bakery kit line. Married since 2002. I follow her on ig but they both aren't acting it seems. Didn't Freddie get blacklisted in Hollywood? Or am I thinking of someone else

A few 90s flashbacks:

The comedian Rob Newman
Most of the cast of "Game On" apart from Samantha Janus. I know Ben Chaplin went to the US to seek fame and fortune
Jo Guest, page 3 girl

Rob Newman became a novelist, but has made up with David Baddiel
Matthew Cottle and Neil Stuke still turn up on TV now again (Cottle is in the Windsors theatre production, and Stuke was in Doctor Who a while ago).
Jo Guest was very unwell for a while, but I have heard she is back to health now.

David Jordan was sat in the same tattoo studio as me. He was being a bit of a diva, getting some guy to talk on his behalf It was cringy to watch.

 

[Coffee is better than Tea]

I still can’t pronounce his name… E - og - han

Owen

Freddie Prinze Jr comes from a very wealthy background. Most of their money comes from his family. There's no need for SMG to work and she didn't earn all that much for Buffy.

Really? His dad was a not very famous comedian.

yeah I always wonder about the page 3 girls, I noticed Leilani has now moved to the states and is on the antivax bandwagon and is an estate agent, Lucy Pinder is now a photographer and Suzanne Mizzi passed away. Wonder what happened to Keeley Hazell? She was everywhere

I haven’t seen him for about 10 years or so now but I’ve met him a few times, I’m friends with one of his immediate family. Last time I saw him he was charming and very down to earth (but that’s cos I was at my friend’s, he was there too before visiting and maybe he was behaving) I first met David when he was about 5 y.o or so lol.

you can find him on IG under davidj.u.k his new style and music isn’t my sort of thing but I wish him well
