  1. Really glad I don’t watch soaps cos you can be sure this is just the vanguard, there will be more of these “Americans” hitting British TV shows; Paris Hilton in Emmerdale, Ice T in Casualty, a remake of London’s Burning built around a character played by Matt The White. Nothing is off the table.

    and just like Brexit can be traced back through the ages to Roy Kilroy Silk, so too can this disaster be traced back… to Kevin Bacon. What a b*****d.

  2. I’d be on board providing he’s not just playing himself, give him a regular role for a few months, a brief relationship arc and a semi memorable exit where he goes off to study otters, special guest is Bill Bailey who picks him up in a knackered old Astra.

  3. They create a theme of a teenager indulging in the weed and then turning into Snoop, but plot twist – Snoop would have to play a homeless guy living in a bin.

  4. This would be like that time Johnny Depp got himself on *The Fast Show*. While it was entertaining, it was a little bit *too* weird, IMO.

    On the other hand 1) I rarely watch TV, and soaps* are not among the things I do watch, and 2) as a *Red Dwarf* fan, I thought Craig Charles ending up on Corrie was pretty weird, not that I remember hearing too many complaints about him or his acting on it.

    On the third hand, Snoop Dogg on Corrie has to be a pretty fricking weird concept even objectively speaking, right? Even if he appears as himself.

    What next? Taylor Swift having a swift half at the Queen Vic?

    *Last time I was into soaps, Bouncer the dog and Mrs Mangel were still alive or very recent memories on *Neighbours*.
