Am I the only person who thinks that the McCanns are behind this whole Maddie thing? I've thought it from day one!

Don't all follow her at once! lol!

You're not alone, I didn't know anything about her either!

Here's her wiki page, I'm assuming it's the same person.

Ah, thanks for that baconbutty, now I know, she was Frankie Baldwin in Coronation Street, although never seen or heard of her since!

Thanks baconbutty.

Reading all that stuff on Wiki makes me feel I have been living on another planet for years !!! My recollections of Opportunity Knocks and Coronation Street are Hughie Green, Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner roll

Still, Well done again to Debra Stephenson . clapping1

'Maddie thing'?

Sounds like she's given it a lot of thought roll

by Ruby 11.04.10 14:17

Sounds like she's given it some independent thought to me.
I can see why you don't like that.
lol!

Famous? Never heard of her!!

Thank you for your overwhelmingly predictable response.

Actually I very much applaud independent thought. Just referring to something quite so complex and tragic as 'the Maddie thing' seemed a little dismissive, as if she's given it very little thought.

Although suppose there's not much of value you can say in 140 characters.

ETA, I'm pretty sure that she's not the first person in the public eye to be anti is she?

Sorry? Its true,I HAVE never heard of her.

by Autumn 11.04.10 18:19

I remember her from Bad Girls.

Good on Debra - maybe we could send her a link to our forum clapping1

by kangdang 11.04.10 21:03

Didn't she play Shell in bad girls? I'm fairly certain that was Debra Stephenson, she may have had a stint in Corrie as well.

The OP got me thinking. Other famous people have expressed doubts about this case.

McCanns 'are hiding a big secret', former police chief claims

Last updated at 14:34 28 October 2007

Kate and Gerry McCann are hiding a "big secret" about the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine, according a former police chief claims.

John Stalker, who headed a famous inquiry into whether suspected IRA men were killed by RUC officers, is suspicious of their silence.

* McCanns face agonising wait to clear their names

The former Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police told the Sunday Express: My gut instinct is that some big secret is probably being covered up.

I have watched the investigation into the Madeleine McCann case drag out for six months.

One thing above all worries me: Why have the McCanns and the seven other members of their group the Tapas Nine remained so silent?

Unlike other high-profile cases I have worked on, not one of them has been prepared to break ranks or really come out and support each other.

After all this time and pressure, I cannot believe that nobody wants to speak.

I have a real suspicion that we are not being told the whole truth. There is something else there, some issue that members of the party are embarrassed about

"The former Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police told the Sunday Express: My gut instinct is that some big secret is probably being covered up."

I wonder how he feels now seeing it all being covered up, not just by the McCanns and Tapas buddies but by the government and police too?

He doesn't seem to have much to say about the issue anymore...maybe he's realised he's the only police officer not to believe the McCanns? Pity he's retired and not in the running to do the...erm... 'review'.
