I don't know, I was wondering too. I don't think Angel Studios is the kind of place where you record voice overs (although I could be wrong) and the first photo had several musicians in it, so maybe something musical? I wouldn't have thought she's suddenly recording an album, but it looks like something that's requiring a few visits to the studio......intriguing . Whatever it is, it's nice that she seems to be busy work-wise

BIB. Yep. I assumed the same. Oh, well, I'm sure in good time we'll find out

Interesting comments from Artem - saying pretty much the same as other departing pros but a bit more diplomatically

http://tv.bt.com/tv/tv-news/ex-stric...11364052289601

Wonder what he'll be doing in the UK? I guess it depends what sort of contract he has with DWTS.

I took it as a bit of flannel, tbh (much as I love Artem ). They ask you a question and you have to think of something to say. I'm not doubting it was a frustration (new people needing to make their mark and what not), but I expect it was just one of many frustrations (like everyone has with their job) and when other things aligned (visa, Kara, offer to work on DWTS), I guess you just think, "Pah! I don't need all this rubbish." Obviously, any new job just comes with its own, new rubbish .

That last bit made me pay attention though! . Hope he doesn't just mean something like a Strictly cruise.

Very true - I suppose it's an easy answer to give and I doubt he wants to mention his Visa issues. As you say, DWTS has its own problems with producer manipulation

It sounds like he was saying he wants to do something in the UK but doesn't know what. It's a shame the next season of DWTS clashes with Robin's show, as it would be nice for him to do that with Robin and Aliona etc. I think I'd rather see him back on Strictly as a judge (who happens to do pro dances as well ) than a competing pro anyway.

I've just seen this Instagram from the set designer on The Halcyon

The comment suggests Kara might be playing a singer at the hotel, which could be what she was recording/practising with the musicians for at the studio. I hope she is - at least she should get some more glamorous outfits than she did in Mr Selfridge .

There was an interesting tweet yesterday from a live entertainment producer/promoter


(It was deleted shortly afterwards, so I don't know if they had jumped the gun with the announcement or something) MFL could be My Fair Lady?

Nice find, Sherlock! She'd be the obvious choice, if you're right. Frank Skinner?! 😂

ETA: I've had a little nosey at the other people's twitters or bios and the five ladies are currently in things like Showboat, Les Mis, Book of Mormon - so musical theatre stalwarts and Liz Robertson is an older actor who appeared as Eliza in MFL in the West End back in the day. It is written! 😜🍾👏🏻🎹🎭💃🎼🎟

I guess I could see Frank Skinner as Alfred Doolittle (I'm not too familiar with the film but hopefully not a big singing part.). Looks promising though

The costume designer on The Halcyon has posted an Instagram tagging Kara

It looks like her character is called Betsy and will be pretty glam judging by her jewellery. Could fit in with her being a singer in the hotel bar as per the other Instagram pic. Hopefully they'll release some more details soon.

It's a one off concert in June.

Yes, it looks like it should be a good show

Makes more sense now, I didn't think there'd be enough roles in a normal production of MFL for all those young women on the tweet.

Just read about this. Bit disappointed it isn't the full monty of a musical for Kara, but great to see she's in the mix with this.

Yes it is a shame, but I guess this fits in nicely around filming for The Halcyon. I think that finishes in August, so maybe after that she will get to do some theatre .

Looking forward to the BAFTAs tonight - really hope the Sound of Music Live team win their category (hopefully their 2 wins at the BAFTA craft awards bode well). Always look forward to seeing Kara's dress too .

This headline from OK mag is daft as usual - they say she 'teased Eastenders return' but it sounded to me like she was politely saying she hopes it doesn't come to that as she's got plenty of other stuff on thanks . Good to hear she is gaining confidence in her singing though .

Thanks for all the links Ellie. I agree, she didn't hint at anything really, just, 'you never know what can happen'. Got to love the press, eh?

Great to see K looking fab at the BAFTAs. I'm not keen on those plunge-to-the-waist necklines, but she wore it well.

Looks like there were a few Strictly people there - lovely pic

The rest of the cast have been announced for My Fair Lady - looks great and nice that Kara's friend Bradley will be playing Freddy

Splitter, splutter, spit and sawdust. That is me after climbing out of the woodwork.
Been spasmodically lurking can't quite rid myself of the Kara and Artem connexion.
Thanks Ellie and fridgesoup in particular for keeping the snippets coming.
I can't quite get my head around several actresses doing same role or have I got more confused than normal.
Still enjoying living in Brittany, had a wonderful language class this morning that ended with the 2Vietnamese women teaching the rest of us how to cook nems (sort of spring rolls). A newly arrived and bewildered 16 yr old lad from Mali was force fed some by a number of overly maternal women.
Thanks again and hope everyone is enjoying the lead up to the referendum. Why did they have such a long run in?
I have voted postally.

HI everyone.
Still popping in from time to time to find out latest Kara news. Hi to Clartem guess we all lurk . Difficult to switch off completely and do tend to think still "Kara and Artem " a bit like a brand Read that Natalie Gumede was to join him on the cruise ? True ?
Watched Sound of Music again to night. Enjoyed it more this time and Kara's performance.also .

Hope all the loyal gang are well .thanks always to the ones supplying the bits of news for us . Much appreciated.
