social media preference (dev patel)
Anwar Kharral (Skins UK): Anwar is the only one on this list active on TikTok. He's not an uncomfortable teen anymore - he's being cringe on main and setting trends. I bet he's got 90K followers at least! He uses Threads and Instagram to back up his TikTok, not much else.
Sonny Kapoor (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 1&2): For the benefit of the hotel, Sonny is active on Reels to promote the corporate 'brand'. He likes the chance to be creative, and the 'Board' likes the chance to show off the handsome CEO.
Neal Sampat (Newsroom): Neal is an OG Tumblr user, who joined the site as early as 2008. As demonstrated on the show, Neal is adept at using Twitter to cross-reference and fact-check various sources, I do think he'd be a prolific shitposter on a side account, rivaling our king @dril.
Deon Wilson (Chappie 2015): Deon is self-explanatory. he likes to support the indie social media sites that sprung up in the wake of the Fall of Twitter. He's a fan of SpaceHey because he went to Computer Camp with the engineer who started it (it's based out of Germany), which he's always wanted to visit!
Sheru “Saroo” Bierley (Lion 2016): I find it harder to deny with each passing day that Saroo Brierly isn't an Instagram thot. Look at @brockohurn on IG and tell me that they don't have the same respectful bro energy. I think Saroo likes the chance to use all the photos in his camera roll, and I think the MILFs of Instagram are grateful for the content.
Jay Menha (The Wedding Guest, 2019): The closest Jay gets to social media is the Polaroids he likes to stick up on the wall of your shared room. Sometimes, if he's having a bad time, he likes to sit in his beanbag and look at the wall. He only gets a ghost Facebook account to keep up with relatives- nothing ever is posted, ever.
David Copperfield (The Personal History of David Copperfield, 2020): I think David would do numbers on Medium.com because he can write self-prompted think-pieces that no one ever asked about, AND get paid for them! He's writing analyses of "Jeyton vs Brucas vs Leyton: One Tree Hill", and he's actually making money. It would be magic to him!
Joshua Madika (Modern Love, 2019): Joshua's social media is all on Tinder. He's perfected his profile, and he likes talking to people. It's all genuine and zero malice. Who wants to be alone with their thoughts?
Sir Gawain (The Green Knight, 2021): I once read a post about Edward Cullen texting that read, "just saw a snail . . . effervescent," and I think that's as close as Gawain should get to the internet. It's just like shitposting, but it's all for you.
Dr. ZZ Chatterjee (The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, 2023): ZZ keeps his drama on Facebook. He's definitely showing up in comments to defend someone's mutual friend from accusations of bias when she broke up with her tiny boyfriend because she was having neck problems*. With a doctor on her side, she didn't have to post X-rays of her neck! ZZ will be beefing!
The Kid (Monkey Man, 2024): "Ted, the movie hasn't even come out yet! How can you say The Kid is a Pinterest girlie?" It's all pretty pictures with an indefinite scroll. I also bet he's a big fan of putting things in categories (see also: skittles). We'll see who's right.
*true story circa 2018 on my Facebook page.

How to they text? (Dev Patel preference)
Anwar Kharral Definitely spams you with memes, it's self explanatory. He's not so much a texter as he is sending you tiktoks that apply to whatever conversation you're trying to have with him.
Sonny Kapoor You're getting paragraphs. Every. Single. Time. English is his second language, but he loves it and he's using every word from his 'word of the day' email.
Neal Sampat I think he's the type who swaps out LOVE with LUV. He uses "U" for shorthand, but all of his sentences are capitalized.
Deon Wilson I think he's using shorthand whenever he can. He's a computer genius, he's truly gonna do what he's gotta do to get his point across. Also, he peppers in numbers, just for fun, think "b00bs"
Sheru “Saroo” Bierley Saroo's doing his best to use full sentences, but he really needs to remember that commas exist not just the "-"
Jay Menha Jay is a very big fan of his blackberry, but I do think that maybe he's not been taking his joing supplements so you don't get much beyond 'lol' or 'haha' as a response to a text.
David Copperfield Where Sonny writes paragraphs, David is writing NOVELS. BE AFRAID. DON'T TEXT HIM BACK. He'll make your phone bill skyrocket I fear.
Joshua Madika I'm sorry, he's the worst texter on the list. He'll see a text, forget about it, and get back to you the next time you text him/ when he feels like it. Just be sure to follow up with him, because if it's something he wants to do, he'll respond for sure.
Sir Gawain I've touched on this in other preferences, but you're getting grade-a shitposts all of the time. It's garbage and it's all for you. "Just saw a snake...oh nor, we are all snekes" or some shite
The Kid I think you're getting photos. You do have to text things like "are you alive," to which you get a response of a photo of 👁️👁️, but that's between the two of you.

Tiptoeing through the guest cast of "A Diamond in the Rough"
Before we start today’s tiptoe, a note - Nia Long is not listed in the “Regular Cast” part of this press release. She was not listed in the “One of Us” press release and is not in “The Heist” in December. She is listed in the social media stuff at the end of the press release but that all seems boilerplate. According to a few websites, Nia Long is apart of a film called “The Banker”, that is filming in Atlanta.
Linda Hunt is listed every week. Miguel Ferrer was listed throughout season eight. Not sure what all this means.
