HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 12 hours ago, BigFatTabbyDave said: I just read an article on The Sun's website (don't judge me) about how Brian Tilsley off Coronation Street (don't judge me) has married a 21-year old stripper from the club he manages. By the halfway point, it turned into an advert for the club, including how much they charge for lapdances and "other services" (don't judge me). We just watched Robocop 2, and he has the briefest of cameos, so I was curious what he was up to these days. Stop judging me. Where is he in the film?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bit towards the end where the head of OCP is arriving to unveil their rebuilt vision of Old Detroit, and to show off Robocop 2. When he gets out of his limo, there's a huge press pack waiting to meet him, and Chris Quinten (aka Brian Tilsley) is at the front. He even gets to shout a question. I found a clip below, but the quality isn't great. He's the guy in the grey suit furiously scribbling on the notepad next to the news reporter in the blue; the lassie who was the female news anchor through both films. Apparently the actress (Leeza Gibbons) was well known in the US at the time, and was dating Quinten, so she got him the Robocop 2 gig. f**k knows how they even met, but he was still on Coronation Street at the time, and left in order to move to the US to be with her and become a star. He was enough of a dick about it that the Corrie people decided to kill his character off so he wouldn't be able to come back. I was young enough at the time to still be watching soap operas and reading tabloid newspapers Edited May 28, 2020 by BigFatTabbyDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me that Tam Cowan was always going on about a game he played as a boy, called Touch the Dug's Arse. I always assumed he was making it up but given that he comes from Motherwell I'm not so sure. Does anybody know it it's an actual thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
