Hi!

Apologies if I'm repeating anyone. I remember young Ray from his Brookside days (he was a great little actor) and am I correct in thinking that his screen Mum was one of the hallowed Nolan sisters? (Possibly Bernie?)

I thought Ray was amazing tonight - such a great, moving performance and great partnership with Maria.

I kinda feel it's definite he'll be on the tour - and as I booked my tickets this week I'm VERY glad!

Yep....... you are dead right.........Bernie Nolan was the mum !!!! I think she went on to The Bill for quite a while.

Lovely to see you again Mama!

I also think Ray is brilliant - already a very good skater and a wonderful performer

Mamaboogie, hey! This is Louise from the DDs! Ray is good but Zoe and Matt are my faves.

Mama - I looked for tour tickets and all the best are gone!

Love Ray - he is fantastic.

Ray is a very talented young man. He was a ballroom dancer and judged the Baby Ballroom championships a couple of years ago. I love his kindness and enthusiasm. It is a pity that he is so far ahead of the other amatuer skaters. Their faces were quite disapproving when he was called from the line-out to stand in the "this week you are safe" area. Collen in particular looked quite jealous.
It would be nice if no one had to leave the show each week. I am enjoying all watching all the contestants skate.

It's a small world after all!


Hello there Rhumbatugger - me lovely old mate! I didn't think I'd like Ray, talented as he is - but I just love watching him on the ice.


Lou!!! DD power!! Now you are showing your youth voting for Zoe! Now if it was John Noakes....


OMG we agree Ignazio! I'm not sure my tour seats are great but I'm still excited! Who else do you like the look of?


How rude! Colleen being jealous of her 'nephew'!!!

really? I hope people don't turn against him, because hes so good, hes such a nice guy that wouldn't be fair.
But they probably just nervous for themselves not angry at ray

Well statistically it had to happen sometime.

I like the look of Jess - I know that makes 2 who are, allegedly, experienced but I've long since given up on "he's got a dance/rollerblade background,' and 'she was in that other ice dancing programme.' A case could be made for almost any one of them, except perhaps poor Todd. I think Zoe could be a surprise and last night I finally 'got' the audience affection for Coleen.

I went to SCD at the MEN at the weekend. Seats were a bit far back but the atmosphere was amazing.

Enjoy DOI.
