Schofield Comes Out As Gay

[TheDevil]

A bit of a surprise but at the same time not! Lovely that he feels he can be his true self.

So you think. None of what you say has any basis other than in your head. I'll rather believe what he says until such time that his story changes.

[TheDevil]

"pasta, I'm sure my wife would feel utterly betrayed and bereft if I told her I was no longer sexually attracted to her."

Then that sounds like your wifes problem and something that she would need to work through. If she can't support you then would you not feel betrayed? I would.

[TheDevil]

"either somebody has threatened to out him or he is in a relationship with a man who wants it to be public."

Yeah gotta be one of the two can't be anytin else can it LOL how could it? HAHA I just can't see how it could lol.

Barry, educate urself then come back. you've made your points clear now you're just showing yourself to be unedcated on the topic. You've not even read the reason for him to be coming out, so I suggest you do before you embarrass yourself further.

Well, I must say I'm shocked! I like Phillip, and wish him and his family well.
Still can't get my head around it..

If you had seen the announcement on This Morning, barrie you would have heard that there is no one else in his life and he has not been threatened. The time was just right for him to make the announcement.

It will all come out in the wash, providing the washer don't set alight. :0)

Wasn't this a part of a Court Case involving Jason Donovan, years and years ago, 1992 according to Mr Google?

[TheDevil]

Oh! well that works also LOL

[jackthehat]

The only people surprised by this will be the Great British Public. The Schofield family have obviously been aware of this for a while and have offered their unwavering support to Phillip.
I wish him, and them, all the best for the future.

I hope Phillip, Steph and their Daughters continue to get the love and support from those close to them and they manage to rise above the mutterings of those who don't know them in the shadows.

My opinion - who the hell does he think he is ?? Stop wining Schofield, there is a deadly airborne disease out there and terrorists and knifemen running rife in the streets. Why does he think he is so important ?? A betrayal of his wife imo and she and she alone knows how she REALLY feels about this, no-one else.

And TD, who the hell are you to criticise anybody on their spelling and grammar !!!

I know this answer won't be popular, but I really don't care.

> he was the campest straight man on tv

That's David Walliams ...

"I know this answer won't be popular, but I really don't care."

How mighty.

[TheDevil]

HereIAm, yet again you make yourself look a wacky waving inflatable arm tube man.

Terrorism? Knife Crime?

Woi oh woi.

[Mozz71]

Well, compared to hereiam, Barry seems almost rational.

[ummmm]

hereIam...is it so hard to believe that they love each other anyway?

And this talking about being sexually fluid is a load of botox. In my world it's called denial....

[Bobbisox1]

Mozz HereIam is one of the most rational people on AB and rarely have I seen him/ her get annoyed
