What Sandy said ^^^ you muppets lol. I said announcement. They haven't done it yet 😂


*Does last strap up*

Ready

What do you mean it's months away?!

Gio has always danced a lot with Oti in celeb dances on Strictly - I have always thought they looked great together !

Neil and Katya will be Great fun probably. And on 25 June Karen and Kevin, Janette and Aljaz and Natalie are billed with Craig R H. So maybe Natalie will have a celebrity parter on that Cruise.

The Cruise destinations across the dates are interesting 🇫🇷 France 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇮🇹 Italy and Scandinavia 🇷🇺 Russia by memory.

I see that Star is warmed up for the 2nd April. ⭐️⭐️⭐️All Good. Aliciax

Lovely Message Instagram from Georgia - new Adventures start. Aliciax

What dates are Neil and Katya doing? Why do I have a feeling Ed and his wife may go along??

I am more than ready

Still hacked off we didn't go on the cruise last year

It seems that Neil and Katya are doing 30 April 2017 Star
That line up is Giovanni and Joanne, Neil and Katya, AJ and Chloe. And Craig RH.

Hoping @jane 9668 is correct! She seems to have seen a brochure. Aliciax

I agree with you, but I'm really looking forward to the final and think Kevin will get quite emotional if he does win after being so close for three years ..... I've watched Claudia and AJ's quickstep several times and Danny's samba ... love the music and the band did a good job with it, but the original by Carlos Santana is even better of course

and you obviouly didn't look at post no. 14461 did you... it's one of my favourites


they certainly do


what about me ..... I'm free then

If Gio is doing a cruise starting the 30 April he will have to rush down to Southampton from Lincoln where he is appearing on his tour on 29 April, unless, of course he and Joanne are joining the cruise later.

Talking of his tour I've looked at the websites for a couple of theatres where Gio is due to perform and have noticed that ticket sales are rather slow at the moment. For instance only about 50 tickets have been sold in the stalls at the Hawth Theatre in Crawley compared with Natalie and Ian's show which is only about a month earlier and which is almost sold out in the stalls. Gio will have to hope that people who see him on the cruise will be inspired to come and see him on his tour.

Nina You raise an interesting logistical situation. It appears that Joanne has a gap in her Millie Tour then but resumes on 8 May - so this may be subject to change? AliciaX

Snapchat

Georgia is on Snapchat - she is going to be eating a pancake and chocolate topping.

Helloio


I saw that tweet Alicia. My my Gio is in for a very busy time next year.
If he is on the strictly tour as well he will hardly be in London until the next Strictly starts!
He will definitely need a puffa jacket for the Russia cruise - brrrrrrrr freezing !



Oh no I don't like change and they are getting rid of the cat smillie. Not impressed and if anyone dislikes my posts there will be hell to pay that's all I'm saying



Aww poor Gorka is troubled at the mo isn't he . What is with this year ??!!! Weird.





Buono Fortuna to Georgia's for tonights' debut in Rocky Horror. She will be fab .

By the way please don't all rush to tell me off at once but am I the only saddo on here that secretly hopes Gio will send Georgia a good luck message for tonight ?

Ok Ok I know nothing is going to change and maybe Georgia wouldn't want that anyway but I would still like to see it happen

*jenster quietly runs away from the thread like lightning and is glad that the "dislike button" isn't yet available.....................*

Afternoon!


Huge good luck to Georgia for her first appearance in RHS today, not that she needs any luck at all - she'll absolutely shine like she always does!



I'm sure Kevin will get very emotional if he wins it, and I wouldn't mind if they did. I'll be honest in saying that none of their dances have 'wowed' me (though their Argentine Tango sticks out in my mind) but they both seem like nice people so as I say, I wouldn't mind if they won! Though I very much think that it will be Danny walking away with the glitterballl, I think him being in the dance off last week will actually be an advantage to him in that it'll encourage people who didn't vote for him because they felt he was a certainty to win will actually now pick up the phone and vote.

I did look at post 14461, and quickly erased it from my memory - even if I'd found Giovanni attractive previously, I wouldn't possibly be able to now after what his behaviour towards Georgia.



Sorry Jen, but if I was in Georgia's position (knowing that Giovanni's actions, particularly in the timing of the break up, could have quite easily completely screwed up my first stage role and thus future career in theatre) the last thing I would be wanting would be a good luck message!

I would never 'dislike' your posts though, Jen!

I most definitely am not going on that one!! I HATE the cold



I sent her a good luck message from all of us on the thread and she responded with 'thank you very much. Love to you all x'


I'm with you on that, Brian. I wouldn't mind if Louise won. I'd prefer Danny to but I stopped caring after Ed Balls went out tbh. And definitely stopped caring after last weeks farce!! The only one I don't want to win is Ore.

The final is much less nerve wrecking than last year - that's for sure

Very well said Brian . She seems very excited to be playing Columbia.

Also, Georgia has posted an Instagram Story on the train to Oxford.

And, Dawn Green, who is Georgia's Agent at CAM has tweeted that she is going to see Georgia on the opening night of Rocky in Oxford. Everyone is excited!
Aliciax🚊🚂🎭🎼🎤

Star, that was good of you to send Georgia a good luck message from us all.

Jenster, you know I'm as bad as you! I always hope Gio will send flowers or actually turn up!


Thanks lovely Star for doing that XXX


Thanks Alicia, I will go and have a watch X I wonder if she is going to commute between Oxford and London. If the trains are OK (big emphasis on IF!) it takes one hour.

Haha I hate the cold too Star !
A cruise to Russia is not on my bucket list that's for sure

Thanks for sending the good luck message. I am glad Georgia knows we are all wishing her well and thinking of her tonight



I am glad she got a train - wasn't there a big strike on the London trains today ?

Brian
Of course you are right in your response to my post. I just want things to be made better for GG in my ideal world but I do realise that I am being completely unrealistic in the circumstances

Thank you very much for doing that, Star!



Yep, absolutely agree with all this. Last year's final was certainly very tense, not so much when they announced the winner as I was utterly resigned to the outcome, but certainly when they announced the couple who were in 4th place - I was desperate to see Georgia doing that Charleston again, and get the four tens (which they should have got weeks before that, of course!)


Yep on Southern rail, seemingly because the government think they know more about what is needed to make trains safe than the people who actually work on them on a day to day basis!


I know you do, Jen - and I know my responses can perhaps seem a bit cutting and cold, it was extremely sad how it ended (not least for Georgia!) but I hope that she and others can take some comfort (not exactly the right word, but I hope you kinda get what I mean!) from the fact that she deserves infinitely better and that she will hopefully get that.

Good luck to Georgia tonight.

Hope it goes well, and she has a nice break in the new year. Hopefully she will have something new next year nice BBC or ITV drama please.

I have wondered throughout the day if Giovanni will send Georgia a good luck message, he did for Breakfast At Tiffany's ....but maybe after the toothpaste fight he'll think better of it....can't but smile at the past posts of GG's Egg fight/Mayo-IceCream fight..have I forgotten any others? Georgia is a real child at heart, loves fun & GSOH!! This has certainly been a lesson for Giovanni if he thought Georgia was going to wait around pining for him!! He is the loser here for definite and, although he never would admit it, must have regrets (running to hide for a minute)....

I am sorry for Gorka too, so sad, and I hope he's not taking relationship advice from Giovanni, think he'll know better though, lol!!

I wonder will Janette, James C, or any of the others from Strictly make it to see Georgia - I hope so. It would be lovely if Jo actually made an effort, but she's busy trying to win the final at the moment with the BBC man (sarcy)!!

My friend's daughter was here last night and she was amazed at Ore in Claudiatorum last Saturday when Jo's strap slipped and he helped put it back in place and said 'Not on the telly'...I missed that but rewatched it today, shivers! Ouch!!

Good luck Georgia for your opening night Rocky Horror!!

Star - I bet she was delighted to get your message - bless her!!

I expect there'll be a Bury trip down to Oxford - maybe they'll all spend Christmas down there with her as she only has the one day off!!

Most welcome I actually felt a bit bad that we didn't send flowers or a card or something, like we did on her opening night for BAT but I really don't have any money


Don't worry about it, Jen. I'm sure, somewhere deep down, we all feel similar. After all, this is the GG thread and we all started posting on here for a reason x

However, I also cannot disagree with Brian.

It is sad that things are as they are but ain't nothing guna change what is

Thank you star - so pleased you sent a message from the thread !

Good luck to Georgia for tonight. She's just put up a snapchat of the sound checks being done at the theatre and a photo of her with an arrow pointing to her costume with the word "arghh". She also put up a video (which Brian and NDD, wherever he is, will like very much) of her in her RHS costume.

I'm pretty sure she won't be receiving any good luck tweets from Gio, especially now she has shown herself to have definitely moved on. It would be nice to think that they could be friends someday but I'm not holding my breath! I do wonder if he thinks of her very much and if he has any regrets - probably not, although he might have felt a little twinge if he saw that picture of her and George.

As someone said Gio is a busy bee next year and much as I hate to bring this subject up for the hundredth time, I have been wondering whether that was another factor in "the split". I didn't think that Georgia's involvement in BatT and the RHS would have been enough to split them up but perhaps all the work that Gio has lined up in 2017 (which would have meant them not seeing much of each other) plus his wish to be single again, of course, would have been what made him think about where things were going between him and Georgia. Of course that still doesn't excuse the timing of the split, just when Georgia needed him most and all the other things that Brian listed in post no.???

Incidentally, talking of the Strictly cruises, even Russia isn't that cold in June and in fact it can be pretty warm in Moscow. St Petersburg is a lovely city and well worth a visit. They have what they call 'white nights' - since it is so far north it hardly gets dark in summer. Russians love the sun and you can sometimes see ladies of whatever size sunbathing outdoors in their underwear!

Very exciting day for Georgia and thank you Nina :

And on Strictly News : The Showdance Music for the final is available:

Ore and Joanne. I Got Rhythm (George and Ira Gershwin)
Danny and Oti. Set Fire to the Train (Adele)
Louise and Kevin. One Moment In Time. (Whitney Houston)

All three pieces seem good for a Showdance?
Aliciax

I'm not convinced by Louise and Kevin's show dance music! Bleurgh!

Glad she's doing her Argentine tango though. And really glad that Ore is doing his jive. Would have preferred Danny doing his charleston to his samba, but still a good choice

Good luck to Georgia for her first night!
