This week on Drama School Dropout I am joined by the amazing, Matthew James-Bailey! We chat about Hollyoaks, finally getting to live the actor’s life, working in America, the anxiety of customs in airports, working with Russell T. Davies on your first acting job, the “almost moments” that stick with you, hating theatre, passing out on stage, the realism in soaps, my love for London, going on a date to Ben Nevis, Edinburgh Christmas Markets, work/life balance, the turnaround of a soap, whether your parents cry when you die on screen, topless TikTok edits, characters having horrible jewellery, dying on screen, Friends, improvising as Deidre Barlow, playing naked twister, meal deals, controversial monster munch questions and Jane McDonald.
