Does anybody know which professional skaters will certainly be returning for the fourth season in January ?

I have read in the 2009 Contestants thread, that there are two new skaters; David and Stuart.

I have also read that the following will return; Fred, Melanie, Daniel, Maria, Matt, Kristina, Andre and Susie.

Pavel, Florentine, Frankie Poultney

Are all three definite?

If so, I am very happy that Pavel will be returning. Hopefully, he'll remain in the competition a little longer, rather than just reaching Week 3.

I would love Frankie back!! She was robbed last year!

I disagree - Suzanne and Matt deserved the win .

Matt's website has a new blog entry from him confirming his participation and excitement about the upcoming series. Also on Blue Room, they confirm an upcoming webchat with Matt scheduled for any day now. !!

Fred is my favourite, I hope he will be back. I also love Frankie, and whoever the man was with Linda Lusardi last year, can't remember his name, he is such a sweet chap.

Daniel Whiston . How could you forget !?

As a Chris fan I'd agree with that. She pulled it out of the bag on the night.

Fantastic that Frankie is back though as she's one of my favourite professionals.

I really do hope Pavel is back, i really like him

Me too . It's about time he done well, rather than reaching Show 3 and being eliminated, as he was with Ulrika Jonsson and Samantha Mumba.

My faves are Fred and Sergei. (Or howeer you spell it!)
I know Sergei isn't returning.

Dan will ALWAYS be my fav of the male pros

NEVER!!!

I don't think I have ever spoken to one person, who doesn't like Daniel !

You've chatted to me

I like Matt, the one who was partnered with Suzanne Shaw last year. I also like Fred and Melanie.

Mel and Fred's website says their back. Hope he does a blog again this year.

Nevermind a blog, I hope Fred does well again this year!

After Kay Burley, and Sarah Greene, he deserves another Zaraah Abrahams!

.

You don't like Daniel?!

Daniel is my favourite by far. He'll get my vote whoever is partner is. He's lovely

Whys Sergi not returning?

I was talking to Dan tonight not for long though as he was heading in to watch the same show as me
Didnt ask him about DOI though no point he wouldnt have told me anything anyway!!

How do you know Daniel?

Been lucky enough to get lessons from him, Had already met him when he was still in Hot Ice show in Blackpool.
Just happened to be going to same show as him tonight and bumped into him outside.
