Lose the ACCENT in THE FINDER


Horrible choice to use some Cockney accent in the Bones spin-off - THE FINDER.

Hope they rethink this for the series.

I agree. Why not use her actual british accent?? The cockney accent sounds horrible!

Looks like it's going to be a really good show.

Is that what that was...cockney? I thought she sounded a bit Irish. I never understood why Hollywood loves the cliche of the bartender with a funny accent. The bartender I like on Finder would be the guy who was the bartender on John Doe...William Forsythe.

As for her annoying/fake cockney accent...is Guy Ritchie producing the Finder?

It is horrible. I wouldn't watch it just because of that.

Her cockney accent sounded horrible, correct.

Real cockneys don't sound like that.

Just in case anyone takes note of this, I will add my plea - please, please remove her awful mockney accent if this turns into a series.

Well, instead of removing the accent they completely removed her from the show! or she left of her own choice. The role is being recast.

Smile like you mean it.
