Madeleine McCann Cast In Portugal
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann…
Gerry McCann is in Portugal. Is Madeleine McCann?
Daily Mirror: “KATE: I’LL NEVER GO BACK TO PORTUGAL”
It’s the place where she last saw her daughter alive, but Kate McCann has declared she will never return to Praia da Luz.
So Kate McCann is not in Praia da Luz. The search continues for Madeleine McCann. And the Mirror is talking about… Kate McCann:
Heart surgeon Gerry was heckled by angry villagers who blame the youngster’s disappearance for job losses in the resort after a dip in visitors.
Heart surgeon Gerry. Such are the facts.
A friend said: “Kate is never going to go back. It’s just too hard for her.”
And those hecklers?
One former worker shouted at Gerry: “Go home, leave us alone.”
One.
A sacked cleaner said: “We’re fed up with Mr McCann. We want him to disappear for good from this place.”
And the Mirror sought out another one.
In the TV film…
Kate will be played by American mum-of-three Lisa Donovan, who bears a striking resemblance to the former GP. Lisa, 40, who now lives in the UK, said: “It’s emotional to play someone who’s been through such a heart-wrenching experience.”
Emote.
Irish Independent: “Gerry looks on as snatching of Maddy is recreated for film”
So she was snatched. That is now a fact, right? She did not wander off.
And the on-screen Kate McCann:
Lisa (40) who comes from Philadelphia but now lives in the UK, admitted yesterday: “It’s emotional to play the role of someone who’s been through such a heart-wrenching experience. I have three children aged five, seven and nine, two boys and a girl. I can’t even begin to imagine what going into a room and seeing one of your children not there must have been like.”
Well, best start imagining - cameras roll in three…two…
Christian Today: “Gerry McCann attends mass in Portugal”
Gerry McCann, the father of the missing girl Madeleine McCann, has attended and participated in a mass in Portugal nearly two years after her disappearance.
And this is relevant because..? We know two things: a child is missing and the parents are innocent. So why does the Mirror continue to watch Gerry McCann?
Daily Star: “TELLY TERROR OF KIDNAP ‘MADDIE’”
A TELLY film of the Madeleine McCann drama was halted when the child playing the kidnapped girl collapsed in tears. She broke down as a TV crew filmed an abductor snatching her.
Fact and fiction.
The actor playing her abductor tried to calm her by offering her a Pot Noodle but the girl kept crying and film-makers had to halt shooting.
Do not accept Pot Noodles from strangers, kids.
An onlooker said the scene was chilling. “It must have been almost unbearable for Gerry to watch,” he added.
Speculation.
Madeleine McCann is missing - still missing…

Feck me, that place is awash with nonces.

Doesn’t that show just how difficult it would have been to abduct a child, especially saying there were regular checks? If the actress cried, surely the real child would have done.

Jeez, you’re an intelligent one

Dairy…. yes you’ve sussed me. I am Mr Clifford and I’m a highly paid PR.
Oh I wish… then I wouldn’t be spending today emptying my own kitchen cupboards for a clear out, I’d have a flunkey to do it for me! (everything is all over the floor and I’m now on the interent blogging and twittering!)

Old Chesty Cough is working himself up into a frenzy of bizarre behaviour lately because the McCanns and co are taking absolutely no notice of his antics.
Sadly all the personal hatred aimed at the McCanns themselves is detracting from the fact that Madeleine has not been found and she should have been. Dead or alive. And the perpetrator (s) has not been caught.
That is the injustice here. Not whether Channel 4 make a film or not!
But then ‘there’s none so blind as those who will not see’.
April 7th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
One of Captain Coughups I see. I love the small print at the top which says a tiny proportion of names have been removed because they didn’t agree with it or used the names of real people. Democracy at work

o”…….n sunday and yet he was seen at mass?…..
Also anyone who has ever worked with child actors will know that sometimes they co-operate, a lot of the time they don’t. The Portugese police were there all the time, no way would any chances have been taken? and a three year old would have no idea of the true facts. Kids that age act all the time for TV and cinema”.
—————————————————————————————————————–
Nothing changes with C&C….able to spin a story with the ease of a highly paid pr.
Yes, he attended mass by the back door so to speak…he slunk in early aided by the mis-information of his paid spokesman and that little girl they’re ‘using’ to impersonate M…I bet she’s having a whale of a time………surely all she’s got to do is ‘co-operate’ and act to order after all doesn’t she want to help find Madeleine?
April 7th, 2009 at 6:45 am
Do you really think they are doing this to make money?? I think they are doing it hoping to find their daughter!
April 7th, 2009 at 2:24 am
Just shows what people will do to make money. Where are the welfare people. Aren’t they supposed to be around when a child is on set. Poor little kid. Gerry McCann has done himself no favours making this film. People are asking more questions!

Feck me, that place is awash with nonces. Deffo not a safe area to book a holiday where a tapas comes above the kids.
April 6th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
What’s with the little disembodied hand in the photo?
Spooky.
April 6th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Coco, oh Coco where art thou-Is she an extra or something-Can’t imagine they gave her a non speaking part.
April 6th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
I think at the moment its all speculation andmore than a few fibbies. I read that GMC was banned from the church on sunday and yet he was seen at mass?
Also anyone who has ever worked with child actors will know that sometimes they co-operate, a lot of the time they don’t. The Portugese police were there all the time, no way would any chances have been taken? and a three year old would have no idea of the true facts. Kids that age act all the time for TV and cinema.
It fascinates me that so many in other places claim to be looking for ‘justice’ for Madeleine and yet shoot everything they don’t personally agree with down with poison arrows. Surely anything that might just lead to the solution whichever way it goes should be welcome??

“A TELLY film of the Madeleine McCann drama was halted when the child playing the kidnapped girl collapsed in tears. She broke down as a TV crew filmed an abductor snatching her.”
Given that MM was only 3, and on any test was very small for her age, one assumes that the “Actress” playing her is either a midget, or is of normal size but only 2 years old.
Which then raises another set of problems. Knowing the difficulties that children have in separating reality from fantasy, what parents would let their child ‘play’ this part (Other than the parents of JonBenét, obviously).
And why are they insisting she was “snatched”, implying force, speed, and a certain roughness, rather than having the girl gently lifted (into a blanket ?!?) so that she should not awake. Why have the McCs introduced this bit of pure invention the story. Where is the evidence for this?
Or indeed for any of this nonsense.
I want to see the finished film, and then to hear someone publicly testing everything it says. Paxman would be good.
April 6th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Some actress eh?
April 6th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
nah not really just getting my own back!
April 6th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Lisa (40) who comes from Philadelphia but now lives in the UK, admitted yesterday: “EDITED I can’t even begin to imagine what going into a room and seeing one of your children not there must have been like.”
Seeing one of your children NOT there !!?
Well try just walking into a room where you know they are not. It’s like that, really..
April 6th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Cheers LP
You have waited a while for that.
Would you care to elucidate ?
April 6th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Clive - you are a prat!
April 6th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Surely any abductor would have offered her sweeties not Pot Noodle. If this is supposed to be a factual docudrama of fiction based on fact then Pot Noodle doesn’t ring true. I have studied the case in detail and this is the first mention of Pot Noodle. Were the dogs trained to sense Pot Noodle as well as Cadavereine. Does anyone know if Pot Noodle is available in Praia da Luz or could it only have come from a British abductor?
April 6th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
True, Bat E, but how often have we all seen a screaming child being carried/ dragged off, and done nothing because we just assume aha, kid having a strop. Maybe Maddie never cried because she was asleep? We just don’t know, do we?

It’s the place where she last saw her daughter alive, but Kate McCann has declared she will never return to Praia da Luz.
That’s an odd comment. Why include the alive bit?
April 6th, 2009 at 11:22 am
There is circumstantial evidence of parental involvement, scientific evidence which
did not meet unusual level of acceptability but there is no evidence of abduction or kidnapping.
Are we being brainwashed ?
