3. I think it is a bit strong to state that Laura's injury was exaggerated. An ankle strain that can't take weight on Friday can be in a different position on Monday.
4. Tess clearly said on the Saturday show that Laura was likely to be able to dance this week. So.. it seems that Laura is on pretty much the track that the medical assessment on Friday suggested.

Again, I am not seeking to argue and it is not helpful to either of our Appreciation threads to start a debate. Injuries happen and maybe its best just to take it at face value on the Appreciation threads.

I am glad to see Gio and Laura dancing this Saturday as seems likely (or at least possible) at this point. It is not likely to be the most speedy or athletic dance in the circs, but better something than nothing. Gio will be happier to be dancing I would think.

The Main Forum might be a better place for debate if there is doubt that the medically-assessed injury was genuine in any way.

I will now take my own medicine and go away. ”

As Gio's partner this year we obviously will discuss Laura as part of 'Lavanni' - however it doesn't say 'Laura Appreciation' on our door so we don't need to appreciate her here.
I didn't debate the injury - I stated the facts - however if we did debate Gio's partner's injury that would not be out of place in his Appreciation Thread would it ?
You have a lovely appreciation thread of your own to praise Ms Whitmore to the skies

Thank you for filling in the details and for Gio's sake let us all hope Laura can dance, it certainly seems much more hopeful than on Saturday night - I am sure Gio can choreograph a super dance for Halloween as he did last year - or did he ?
Some of the GG routines were choreographed by other people - for example the Charleston - would you know which others ?

Meanwhile you often join us here and I always enjoy your posts so please do stop apologising for dropping in, you are becoming a great thread mate - but do so without the veiled threats if possible please, try as we might some of us cannot like Laura very much.
This isn't the place we need to do so thankfully

Sandy - can you read the PM I sent you earlier please - it might help.

Salsa, AT and Charleston normally have external choreo by Jenny. GG had externals for Charleston and I think also Salsa.

I did bless you and have replied
Much as above though.

You have terrific Strictly knowledge - and yet you have only been posting for such a short time !
Have you been lurking for years ?
Bendy seems to have disappeared from the thread of late so to have someone who knows 'stuff' is very good news for us as most of us know very little about the background details - we are just daft fans !

Ermmm who are you calling a daft fan Sandy?? Moi????
Speaking for myself I am a highly articulate and intelligent admirer of GG with years of vast dance experience...............in my dreams hahaha.
Oh you do make me smile with some of your comments Sandy

For all those worried about 'Lavanni' leaving the Strictly contest because of injury it seems perhaps the degree of the injury was somewhat exaggerated - didn't the press report she couldn't stand ?
Apart from getting to the pub yesterday Ms Laura has now declared herself fit to train today via twitter - so a really speedy recovery and it looks like we will never see that much lauded jive.
Frankly as I said on Saturday I really think 'Lavanni' dodged a bullet there - if the jive had been somewhat mediocre, and nothing in Laura's previous footwork makes me think it wouldn't have been, I guess they would have been in the bottom two after the public vote and against Daisy and Aljaz they would have gone.
Gio lives to fight another day - presumably they will have a fun ballroom dance for Halloween but if Laura becomes Len's 'Queen' on Saturday I will be very surprised to say the least - for anyone who wants to see what the Queen of Halloween looks like :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI9jnEke0oY”

Well what a speedy recovery that was ! If she's fit for training less than 48hrs after being declared unfit she certainly wasn't as bad as we were all led to believe ! What a joke this series is becoming ! When I read she was out for lunch yesterday thought well she isn't resting then ! Totally unfair on the other contestants IMO ! Don't get me wrong I'm glad she is ok and great that she is able to continue but talk about an exaggerated injury !
The press are terrible ! 😡

What a brilliant dance that was ! Halloween queen indeed !

Thanks also for all the snapchat updates Alisha and others ! Love being kept up to date on what's happening !

Lady lavender thanks for your assessment on Laura's injury ! Think the media once again has a lot to answer for ! Misleading and probably not the whole truth ! 😀

Little snapchat of Georgia which seems to have come in a few hours back. Nothing drastic at the hairdressers for Georgia. She looks really lovely. Blow dry is straight. What a beautiful girl she is! aliciax

Helloio Brian. I feel like I have not "spoken" to you for ages. Mind you there have been no shiny suits or lipstick to discuss has there?

Can I just say I know this is very immature but I have actually been watching the gif of "that Ed Balls lift" on repeat and the more I watch it the more hilarious it is
Pure comedy gold.
Katya deserves a medal in my eyes and dealt with it all brilliantly.
What the heck I am going to post it. Well it is about dancing

I am glad we all know officially that Jo and Georgia are good. I thought it would have been very odd had they not remained friendly and Jo seems like a decent human being.

Good afternoon!

Apologies in advance for this starting off slightly OT! I speak as someone who is essentially not 'into' films, but a few days back I saw a firm entitled 'I Daniel Blake' which I genuinely recommend people seeing. Essentially it is a damning indictment of the benefits system that exists in modern Britain, the bureaucracy involved, and the disgusting classification of those who need benefits as 'shirkers' and 'scroungers'. In fairness, there is little in the film that is unexpected, but it really does bring home to you the utterly hideous lives of people who have very little or no income.

Perhaps what I actually admire most in Georgia is that she is absolutely grounded, her down to earth nature, and a real appreciation of all the 'good' things she has going for her. Only yesterday we had an Instagram post with a hashtag 'living the dream', whenever it's a family or friends birthday she'll write about them all in such absolutely glowing terms, generally saying how lucky she feels to have them in her life. Then you have the tremendous love and affection she shows for her fans (one small example being her meeting Star and Loz at the weekend, and not only that but sending a beautiful message over social media that day). And I remember her whole time during Strictly, right until the end she was saying how she couldn't even believe she was on the show, always stressing how much of a privilege it was for her to appear on it, and in every interview I've heard her give about Strictly she describes it as the 'best show ever'. All those things are examples of her grounded attitude, a total awareness of the world around her and a realization of the many 'good' things she has in life - I'm always very skeptical about the use of the word 'role model' but, in my view, it most definitely applies to Georgia.

As I say, I always remember in one of the interviews prior to the Strictly final last year when the celebrities were being asked to describe how it felt to be there, and Georgia said that it felt like a privilege. I always feel rather disappointed when I do see comments such as those from Laura a few weeks back in which she said that she felt her experience of Strictly had been 'spoilt' before it had started because of some tabloid articles created and some tweets sent to her. I think it's a huge shame for that she feels that her experience has been 'spoilt', so many people across the country would just absolutely love to be given the chance to be taught how to dance and to be able to appear in the show, and I should imagine that a great majority more people would be extremely grateful for the 50,000 pounds on average that you get from the show! By no means am I saying that celebs should feel as if they shouldn't share their feelings with people, as I say it's a genuine shame for her if she feels her experience has been 'spoilt' before it's started. But I think Georgia's attitude is extremely commendable, she had many tabloid stories written about her during the series, but always took the time to make clear how lucky and privileged she felt to be on the programme.

Lady Lavender can I just ask , are you in anyway connected to the show as you do seem to be well informed and have a lot of knowledge or are your comments purely you own thoughts ? Just interested ! 😀

Spot on Brian x
Couldn't possibly agree more.

I saw a clip from "I Daniel Blake' on the 'Film Review' on BBC News (I always watch it even though I no longer go to the cinema very much) it really seemed be very moving and reminded me very much of one Ken Loach's first films for TV - 'Cathy Come Home' which explored lack of social housing in the UK.
That was in 1966 and as far as I can see nothing has changed - although everyone was moved and Shelter was born no real new provision has been made and the problem is probably worse now.
One hopes all the DM readers who go on about 'Scroungers' watch this new film but I doubt it - the whole benefit system is in chaos.

Ken Loach is a National Treasure.
Have you ever seen 'Land and Freedom' his film about the Spanish Civil War ?
I really recommend it.

it looks like she may have had some hi- lights put in it, unless of course it is just the way the light has fallen on her hair ! I like it darker 😀 Looks lovely though !
