I agree

Its feels a bit disloyal to Danielle to say it but at least we still support her its just atm its like supporting someone invisable we have no real fan connections, info sites or updates. I guess thats the worst thing about supporting a theatre star, we will only see her if we go to the show and then its just the same thing we seen before and its not affordale to most ”
Totally agree with what you say!

me too! It's a shame the updates were always fun

I just wanted to go on the record because I've read this thread now and wanted to share what I think about the whole issue of this thread, the forum and supporting Danielle.
1. What Sonny said about this page being a chat thread and the forum being the source for serious discussion about Danielle--I think that's great. I hope that you will still check the forum and post on the topics we have there. I'm keeping it up to date with the latest information as I receive it. I am still in touch with Danielle and she will be answering the questions we have as she is able to do so.
2. It's perfectly normal for fans to "cycle" in their interest in particular performers. I don't think you should feel bad if you are not as enthusiastic as you used to be, which leads me to
3. I do hope that you won't blame any of this waning interest on Danielle herself. We have to remember that she is a) very much in demand b) an introvert and c) a kid. Technically she is an adult, but 19 is very young to be in the middle of all this fan interest, especially as suddenly as it was for her, and I don't blame her for backing off at times. She is obviously very flattered at the attention, but she is only one person and there is just so much of her time she can devote to fans. She is not going to be as outgoing as some other performers are with their fans, but she really does appreciate us. She has a life, and she has a right to enjoy it without being answerable to the fans all the time.
4. The forum will be here to be the resource for fans for information and discussion about Danielle, but we also have other off-topic threads and I hope people will feel free to post there as well.
5. I also (echoing Sonny earlier in the thread) hope that this thread and the forum can continue to have a mutually supportive relationship.”
Hi snoopy! It's exciting for you to make an appearance. So to answer your points
1) I'm finding it a bit difficult to keep up with the forum atm but after Tuesday I definitely will
Loving your links with Danielle btw.
3) I for one defintiely do not blame Danielle at all. I'm not saying it's her fault. She has a right to a life. Our age is a crazy time to have fun and she should def enjoy that. I think what we're all sad about is that we just feel we have no connections with her anymore and that she has faded into thin air. We just miss hearing little things from her or about her.
5) I'm sure here and the forum can have a supportive relationship. Just for me this is home

My jeans are still soaked, probably the wrong day to wear baggy jeans that drag on the floor! :-o
Funny you say that as Robbo was the first to dive under the umbrella! Understandable as he was the only one who wore a coat without a hoody. Then everyone else took shelter until Katie took out her umbrella to help shield us.
I laughed so much during the hail stones, it was ridiculous weather today.
Other than that all the performances were entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Good times.
I know she updates her personal facebook - she changes her profile pic quite often, but not sure why she's neglecting her fan one though. Maybe she just wants her privacy and "backing off" like Snoop says.”
ye the weather was indeed crazy today!
Pleased you enjoyed westend live
I wish I could come! Stupid exam!
Yeee maybe she just doesn't have time for the fan facebook or she's forgotten about it? Most likely in fact that she probably has just forgotten. Maybe someone should just ask her in the question and answer thing on the forum or is that reallly cheeky :S

Or the best mistake of your life :P

No disrespect to the forum but I really think Danielles main point of contact to her fans should be through her own page/website or something, imo, it makes it more personal and giving tiny snippets of information or mini updates is important to keep fanbases alive.
Personally for me its not a case of cycling interests its the fact we have nothing to go on. With no news, unable to see the show often and no articles makes being a full time fan.
We know Danielle is busy and I guess in a way I my be unfairly comparing her situation to other people in the media eye I have supported because they had constant news articles, videos, twit cams etc which understandably Danielle may not have time for but they too were working long if not even longer hours than Danielle. But again it goes back to building a fanbase, I think Danielle needs some point of contact of her own which she can contact her own fans through. Like someone said when Tracy was on DS giving us little snippets it made it all the better, like we were all really involved which is great when your fan.
Having met Danielle she is lovely and you can clearly see she appreciates the fans but to be a fan we need Danielle to actually be visable because at times its like she has disappeared.
We can be mutually supportive but DS doesnt need to be relegated to a chit chat thread either, just like the forum doesnt need to be all serious. They can be both. When the time comes im just as hopeful for through and fun discussions on any Danielle news here as well as on the forum.
I really think the key is fun and as Sonny says entertainment but with our common ground in Danielle seemingly being eroded it makes it s bit hard to find topics that will interest and get everyone involved.
In case it didnt come across in this mini ramble (which im too tired to re-read to see if it makes sense) I will always support and wish Danielle the best, this thread and DS have been a home and a fun place to come and I know the full magic may never return but its still someplace ill check back on and contribute as best I can too.”
I totally agree with what you're saying Lemmo! and yes I was the one that said about Tracy coming on was really nice to hear snippets of news. Just felt closer to the action. Now we have zilch tbh it sucks a bit. It was like we were sharing Danielle's journey and the thrill of it. Now we're not. Also I would love to talk about Danielle on here and anytime there is news about her I would totally come here and share it first. DS is still my home.

Ok, I guess I'm still here as this was where it all started. This is 'The Danielle Hope Appreciation Thread'. It's sad that my fans have gone and have never come back, but I still like the chat and banter we have with the little members we have.
I will still support and follow Miss Hope's career as with my other 'interests' once I'm a fan I'm always a fan.
That's all.”
yeee it's sad all the original fans disappeared but at least this place hasn't died. That's an achievement
