I think MH honoured Derek by asking him to leave, they said they wouldn't talk publically about him or tell stories about the faking issue if he went without a fuss....I don't think they wanted this type of publicity, for obviousl reasons.

Are you

arguing again? LOL.

She has the nerve to talk about Derek like that. Look at the last Live, Stuart in that house and mirror. The footage about him getting caught out in a live once by being possessed and throwing something, only for it to get caught on webcam. That sums it up.

Why is Stuart still on MH? He's as bad as Derek was.

lol @ MaryLoves!

I know some people think that Stuart and Karl have played up to the camera on the show before, but what we perceive to be them playing up or acting is just opinion. With Derek, though, the show had proof - unmistakable proof - so how could they let that go by without doing something about it? It would reflect on the show awfully to have a medium that has lied on air.

With Derek having lied on the show with the whole production team being aware of it, what choice did they have but to lose him from the line-up? How could they keep on the show and maintain they were always being true and honest...it couldn't be done, they had to do what they did by removing him.

Stuart was caught via webcam to be possesed and was caught throwing something on webcam at the same time. If possession is rubbish, why is he still on MH?

I think Yvette's comment was a throw-away comment, and if she knew that she would end up being played across the internet, she most likely would have clarified herself, would have (and obviously I am just taking a guess here) probably made it clear that Derek Acorah has made her more cynical about posession's etc. I'm guessing that Yvette is intelligent enough not to discount her own production team.....she didn't exactly state her thought's and argument's in a balanced way when she was just caught off camera throwing around a flippant comment.

I bet if somebody random took the odd comment from me without me knowing, it could be perceived in the wrong way, or at least not in an entirely accurate way.

Also, can I just ask, did Stuart or Karl ever actually say on the show "I am posessed" or is that just the audience's perception to the event's happening on camera? Because sometime's the team make these judgement's without really knowing what's going on- I've seen it happen on the show before.

I believe Derek does have some ability as a psychic (clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience), BUT, I don't feel - having watched him from his first day on MH to his last, every live show he has been a part of, and a few of his own DVDs - that he is a spiritual medium. I feel that Derek has always purported to be able to do a lot more than what he is capable of doing, and that caused his downfall. From the perspective of his entertainment value, he was a very talented man and was a gifted showman. I feel he brought a lot of drama to the show and made it exciting to watch. He's obviously quite a charismatic man. But from the perspective of someone always looking for spiritual truth, I find it frustrating.

I think i've written something similar to this elsewhere in an older thread, but i agree. I like to think that when it was coming to his end on MH he was stressed, tired and had a form of Psychic Block (like writers block) and rather than admit it, he continued on. Total Icarus.

Yes, I always thought Derek had genuine talent's, but I just felt that a lot of his posession's seemed forced, almost like you could read though it...I kind of sensed that he felt pressured to live up to the show's expectation's, which is understandable.

***blackannis*** · 10-22-2009, 09:19 PM

Yeah i know what you mean. I think if he stayed away from "posessions" he'd have lasted a lot longer on the show. in saying that... he was on it for six series. Its got to say something.
I dont think Yvette should have made that comment anyway. Would make people seriously question the shows credibility.
