What makes it particularly emotional is knowing that despite it being a tv show, for each of the characters the tears and the grief is not acted, it's completely genuine. Also, incredibly emotional performance of I'll Stand By You by the Pretenders.
 
Stars that go down the drugs route should be used as examples of how not to lead your life...if his death saves a few youngsters, then his death would have some meaning. Sadly, too many people glamorise fast, short lives and don't recognise the misery behind it.

You could say the same thing about TOWIE and other cringey/**** semi reality tv shows.
 
Just reading about this for the first time now, and sounds like this Monteith guy was another victim of ironic abstinence death? Abstain from heroin for a while, but then give in and take what used to be a tolerable amount, and it kills you. Must be tough.

Firstly most of those shows are probably scripted to at least some extent, plus even if it is genuine all it covers is trivial shallow BS like who is shagging who or who wants to shag who. Death and grief is completely different.

Hopefully as Fran says this will at least show kids not to go down the same path.

Oooh, might have to watch it, then. There's nothing more entertaining than Kimi weaving maniacally through a pack of slower cars.

Wait until the straight and blow past them with the DRS, you say? Why do that when you can cook it into a corner, narrowly escaping spinning out and ruining a three-lap-old set of tires?
