The show has been useful for Matt as its raised his profile considerably and he has a quality career to build on it. Kara on the other band is a sh*t actress and wont gain anything more than a role in casualty/holby. Look what happened to Tom. One series of that teaching series and then he was out.

never heard of her name untill SCD.

Yes but seeing how she dances she may never need to act again.

Career on the slide, Joe Swash for an ex, nothing in the diary, then Strictly comes along and she gets Artem as a partner. I'd call that a result & good luck to her - the lucky mare!!!

if she can sing (can she? anyone know?) she could do well on the West End.

Thats just your opinion, with the quality of dancing she is producing she may not need to, different doors may start opening for her !! Who knows !

I'm hoping for Step up 4 TBH this will boost Kara's and infact Pam's career far more than it would Matt. He is already doing fairly well for himself in the reem of light entertainment, although I can't belive he's quit countryfile for the one show :yawn:

...Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

<... sobs, comforting her veg>

She can act a dance routine - like a dream. Be happy for her.

She might give up on the acting because it's really hard for her due to dyslexia (to learn her lines) and train to become a professional dancer. Then she would not want to ditch Artem because he would still be useful to her.

What exactly is your point, and how does it relate to Kara's dancing ability and her performance on the show?

Is that the same Tom who's in White Christmas at the moment and about to go on tour starring in Top Hat.

If people aren't on BBC or ITV some people seem to assume they're signing on.

As for Kara who knows what the future holds but Strictly will have done her no harm!

Kara fronted a programme about dyslexia a few weeks back and she was fantastic . She did it with a lovely manner, empathy and a gentleness about her . She is a very talented dancer and I am thrilled for her that her hard work has brought her the final .

Kara is in fact quite a good actress. She was unlucky in EE to have been given a rather crappy, airhead, type of character to play who wasn't I think very popular. But the few times she had a decent storyline to get her teeth into I thought she did a brilliant job.
