Haha, how did you know?

It was in-fact the chorus to 'red'

Noble effort, Flamethrower!

Has anyone seen that Denise van Outen and Carley stenson are going into Legally Blonde soon. No offense to Carley but she was singing alot on Hollyoaks recently and to say it was bad, is an understatement.

I think Stephanie scenes start in hollyoaks next week.

I have seen some spoilers of Stephanie. She plays a schoolgirl called Sinead. I reckon she will thrive.

I'm really struggling to get the right quotes I've found plenty but they do get quite repetitive!

All the best to her, I did like her on OTR probably one of my early favourites.

Stephanie is a good singer. I hope she will sing lots in hollyoaks. I am going to tune in next week just to see what the new family is like. I haven't watched for about 6 months.

I remember the actress that plays stephanie's step mum.She was in Brookside, She played Jaquie dickson. And all I can remember is that in the show she had this child for another couple, called Harry, and then she gave him to the couple for money as you do. Then she wanted him back when he was a toddler.

She got him back in the end when the adoptive mum was murdered. And she helped the father out, and they got together.

Heres another challenge for anyone still on!

Can you link these word's back to Danielle?

Hiyaaaa.
Not actually sure if anyone is still online lol but thought I'd sign in to say hi

Buongiorno mafiosi. Viva la famiglia! Viva la cosa nostra!! Viva la signorina Hope!!!

Our leader is a girl of many talents. Henceforth I will be styling her 'la Speranza' - Italian for hope. I think that is a fine mafia name for our idol.

Morning all

I got a feeling that today no one will rain on my parade, because you can't stop the beat when you just dance to mambo italiano!!

Hi Kezza

The Mafia had an early night :sleep:

Ciao Roberto. I will not rain on your parade but there is plenty of rain in this northern town today.

'The rain falls hard on a humdrum town, this town has dragged you down' (the Smiths).

Because of la Speranza I love everything to do with Manchester including their bands.

Ciao Lucabrasi. Manchester has become legendary thanks to 'la Speranza' (good idea with the name).

I'm from Leeds which is slightly further North than Manchester and today we are celebrating the first day of sunny weather in ages

As la Speranza is a shy girl, I have another quotation from the Smiths which may be relevant:

'I am the son, and the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. I am human and I need to be loved.'

All my quotes in future will be from Manc bands.

Grazie Roberto. Why am I thanking you? For christening Dan with her mafia name on the forum!

Haha, your welcome It seemed an appropriate point to mention it. I did include your name, hope that was okay, it would have been rude if I stole it and took the credit.

No problemo. I think la Speranza suits our girl, so I HOPE it catches on.

The forum has been on fire today. Well done, Roberto, for suggesting a general music thread. I guess that love of music unites almost all fans of la Speranza. Of course a lot of her fans also like musicals; I freely admit to not being a great fan of musical theatre, although WoO may change that!

Thanks, I just felt we had invaded Sophie's thread with music, so it made sense to change it.
The forum really is moving today, which is good as nothing much was happening.

Truth is, until WoO rehearsals start nothing much WILL happen. Therefore, we need to be talking about music and associated topics - in the right place as you say.

I wonder if la Speranza will be at Old Trafford today. Unlikely I know.

'Sometimes I fantasise...' (Stone Roses).

We will have Danielle's performance in the Royal Variates to talk about soon which will be exciting

Maybe she will, although she'll probably spend time with family and friends.

I wonder how Dan is adapting to life in the big smoke? Quite a change for a girl her age to leave home and go south to the big city. She seems to be seeing a lot of shows which is only natural.

Personally I'm always happier leaving London than entering it, but that's just me.

Once a Manc girl always a Manc girl! 'Manchester - so much to answer for... ' (The Smiths).

Its good that she's seeing lots of shows, it will take her mind off the hight expectations everyone has of her.

I really enjoy going to London but it can become rather crowded/noisy, so its nice to return home to my peaceful city.

I suppose Leeds is peaceful compared to London. I have a soft spot for Leeds as my father was born there. London is fine if you have friends, I guess - and the loneliest place on earth if you have not. I am sure la Speranza will not have time to be lonely!
