In Russell's world, bumsex with Russell Tovey pretty much fixes all your emo manpain, no matter how vast, yeah?

That's pretty faily right there. Not as faily as that thing with Martha and you know who, but still pretty fucking offensively faily. As was that thing with Donna. Wow, that's a lot of fucking fail to heap upon an awful lot of companions.

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR ASS RUSSELL.

Also, did Simm just disappear, never to be mentioned again, or did it just seem that way?

It took Catherine Zeta Jones over 10 years to get her second big role after The Darling Buds of May in the late 80's, which was The Mask of Zorro. Even though Gareth's career isn't moving very fast at the moment, I can take comfort from the fact that many big Hollywood stars took several years to really establish themselves after having their first significant role. Tom Hanks is another example.

Tom hanks worked steadily from Bosom Buddies on. Catherine Zeta Jones did a lot of theatre. West End, and major theatrical productions. Neither of them had drinking or drug problems to overcome either.

GDL is very talented, and I want him to do well, but he has to clean up and focus. That's how you have a career.

Oh I know Catherine and Tom did a lot of work between major roles, Tom once said that actors should work as much as possible between major roles - including doing rubbish stuff :) - if it means building up their CV's.

Gareth's roles in Sherlock Holmes and The Bill are like John doing Shark Attack because like JB said, he simply "needed the money" which is what Gareth is having to do now - taking on rubbish before hopefully being offered something bigger. Cush Jumbo (Lois Hubiba) briefly appeared in Casualty a few months ago, so she's also having to take on minor roles since doing COE.

As for Gareth's drinking problem, well he looks quite healthy at the moment (probably due to the fact that he's been working in panto over the last 5 weeks and couldn't afford to get drunk) so let's hope he stays that way. Gareth is clearly commited to his work, even if he does need to watch that beer belly. :)
