When will this rain end? Hope Brian is somewhere warm and sunny but not drought ridden!

[rebandmel]

Wow it's been a while since I posted on this thread I hope everyone is well Brian is in LA teaching I believe I hope we hear from the lovely man soon

[Sidethetable]

Sidetable - I am missing him too - hope he comes back soon

[Sidethetable]

I saw one wheel chair dancer last night- wish there had been more. Otherwise, a totally Brilliant British Bonanza. I wonder if the rest of the world "gets" our self deprecating humour?

[Sidethetable]

Hope the coverage of DOW in the context of the Paras leads to more wheelchair dancing on TV

[strictlymaz]

I haven't posted on here for a while but we must try to keep Brian's forum on the first page, he has enough FFs to do it!

Still miss him so so much on SCD! Strictly will never be the same for me without him!

Hope he's enjoying himself in LA but comes back to UK very soon!

[Lassie-FF]

I too haven't posted on for some time....a very long time!

Would love to hear what Brian's is up to these days, would love him to return to the UK and be part of a musical

[TheBamf]

Wow, remembered my password!!

I hope Brian is doing fabulously well in LA but like others miss him over here, however good SCD is this year, it still isn't the same without the one and only American boy.

Would love to see him in a musical in the UK too!!

I totally agree. However much Brian enjoys the warmer weather in LA, there is no pro dancer with a warmer set of supporters than the Fortuna!

hi all...its been so long since i posted not sure i remember how ..the start of SCD makes us all realise just how much we miss Brian ..not only on SCD but anywhere..i hope he is enjoying his time in LA and comes back to the UK soon ..he has to know his FF's are missing him very much

[pennybel]

Like all the previous posters I miss Brian on SCD It will never be the same without him. One very gorgeous and irrepacable dancer . If you are a Brian Fan and are on twitter a group of us do aN #ff FOR BRIAN EVERY WEEK. to keep his profile up. We always manage to get him in the top 10 . It would be amazing if could get him into first place. All welcome once you have the rewquired number of tweets. If you love Brian like we do Come and join us you would be most welcome. Come home soon Brian you are very much missed.

[bluebelle39]

I would love to see Brian return to his fans in the UK.His extremely gifted talent for dancing,singing acting is very much missed by his adoring fans, specially at this time when a new series of SCD is being launched..No doubt like his mom Mrs Sandra Fortuna informed us a while ago, he loves sunny,beautiful LA, and is taking time off after about a 2year lapse to be in the company of his friends,and family.My express dream wish would be to see him in a musical,play, or even pantomime in the coming future.However if Brian choses to further his career in LA or anywhere else in the US, then much as I would miss him, i shall be happy for him.

[Bruno's Girl]

I too would love to see Brian back in the UK. SCD lacks something without him being in the line up. I fear the UK holds a lot of 'what might have been' for Brian, and endless auditions without success probably took their toll. I am sure he is appreciated more in the USA now following his time here in the UK. I wish him every success - he certainly deserves success and happiness in his life. It seems the 'warmth' of his reception in his home country, has been better than he enjoyed here in the UK.

I will always keep the Fortuna Fantastics flag flying, but these days I have stopped waving it and it is now on a flag pole. There is only so long one can hold a flag in the air. In order to find renewed strength. I personally need more than the odd tweet to keep the candle alight. Fan adoration in some quarters went overboard the last time he was here, and I think he needed a period of quiet reflection. Now. I hope that he is completely healed at every level, and is ready to interact a little more with loyal fans.

I would love to see him on the West End stage in a dance production - something which would show his many skills. He is a multi faceted performer, and the most well mannered and lovely guy one could ever wish to meet. Come back to the UK Brian. You are sorely missed.

[jojoisdancing]

I know I have not posted on here in a while either. It was brilliant on here a few years ago and like some others I really miss the BBC forums. There was great craic on them.

I really wish that Brian is happy and contented in LA. He deserves to be.

Watching strictly on Saturday he came to mind immediately and all future episodes will not go by without a thought for Brian Fortuna. I still cannot fathom why she broke up a dancing relationship but that is old news know.

[sheilajks]

Class is what's missing from SCD, & that is what Brian brought to the show,his fabulous dancing & choreography plus his charm & charisma is sorely missed.I wish him success at home in America,but hope he returns to the UK at some point to perform for his adoring & faithful fans again. We miss you & your incredible talent Brian!! xx

I miss Brian very much especially now SCD is on our Screens again. It's a year ago this week since I saw him in OTR thought it was going to be the first of many such shows I would be seeing him in. Who knows why he decided to return to the LA. could be he could not get a Visa as they have got really strict now. I would love to see him back in the UK but I think it's very unlikely, would love to be proved wrong.

[strictlymaz]

How brilliant to see so many posts in support of Brian! I hope he reads them & realises how much support he still has in the UK!

I too would love to see him dancing in a West End show & shall continue to keep my fingers crossed that it will happen some time soon!

[rebandmel]

So great to have so Many of the FFs on the last couple of days Brian has been tweeting some fab pics on twitter clearly enjoying life good for him about time he had some private time xxxxx

Miss Brian too but as much as the selfish me wants him here, the sensible one wants his happiness.
He was the 1st SCD professional to really capture me and still does.
The days on the FF forum on the beeb were ther best and I met one of my closet and dear friends on there so I have alot to be grateful for

[cathjacks]

Hehe! Remembered my password too, lovely to see all you lovely FF's over here too xxxx

I think you could be right about the Visa Chris just wish some producer here would give him the oportunity to show everyone how much talent and audience pulling power he has. We all miss you Brian and wish you all the luck in the world.

Watching SCD on Saturday it made me realise that none of the dancers match up to our Mr F yes they can dance but they haven't the charisma and charm of Mr F.
