I think her star power is already gone, for proper runs. Cinderella was her big test and it flopped, she couldn't even sell out the first few months.Something I wonder about in terms of Carrie's following, and her being stunt cast to bring in audiences, is if/how it might work the other way at some point. Looking at the figures on here of hundreds of former fans. Thinking about the number of people she blocks for the tiniest thing. And knowing there are many, many people who will deliberately not book something she's in, or book to see an alternative performer, to avoid her (I'm absolutely in this camp). At what point does that get weighed against the die hards she brings in? Every time she's mentioned on Theatre Board there's a mass of people saying they won't book if she's in something. She's not mainstream enough to bring in the general public who don't follow an outdated influencer, so I'm genuinely baffled by stunt casting her for her following at this point.
Yikes thats got to hurt!Imagine being Carrie today….Joel is busy reposting a hateful comment over and over again meanwhile Oliver and his new girl are living life posting this 🫠:
Totally agree. Joel can’t believe his luck and was a case of right place right time for him. If Carrie had stayed single for a year then dated Joel I don’t think they would’ve lasted more than a couple of weeks.View attachment 1734772

This video she shared seems so problematic (as in, worrying) in her case. It sounds like she’s convincing herself that Joel is the one because he puts on a romantic performance for her. Sure, you shouldn't have to feel like you can't ask for your needs for romance to be met. It’s good to be with someone who will offer you romance. But not if that is the entire basis of your relationship. If you’ve not developed more understanding about each other, not built trust, not taken some time to evaluate your compatibility, but you’re ready to perform the big romantic gestures, isn’t your relationship just a big superficial show?
Also it always comes across as so disingenuous when she acts like she’s with Joel because she started setting higher standards for herself (demanding the romance she craves!). She would still be with Oliver if she’d been able to convince him to stay, like she said. She’s with Joel because she got dumped, he came along, and now she’s pretending this was her first choice all along.
I mean, who wouldn't? Dancers are hot af.Oliver clearly has a 'type' judging by his ex and his latest girlfriend.
I used to be a dancer and I was never hot afI mean, who wouldn't? Dancers are hot af.
It's rare he dated the one star in all of the west end who doesn't, and can't, dance. Oh, sorry, I meant, a girl "not like other girls"
Gorgeous and talented? Can you blame the guy lolOliver clearly has a 'type' judging by his ex and his latest girlfriend.
Personally, I don’t want a fairytale kind of love because it’s not real life. It’s acting like everything is wonderful all the time and nothing bad ever happens as it’s so over the top.View attachment 1734772

Exactly there’s a difference between comments here/to friends than sending directly to the person. That’s actually trolling and bullying.On the weight issue - it is absolutely unnecessary for someone to message her to point out anything to do with her appearance. It comes across as mean spirited and hurtful, but of course she would then post the message while her 'beloved' reposts every Tom, Dick or Harry that post about it to draw even more attention to the 'jealous troll'.
I got a photo with a theatre person at a stage door last year, I wanted to post it on my Instagram but I had a double chin which was much bigger than Carrie's and that photo has never seen the light of day as a result. If there is a photo of me which is unflattering I wouldn't even dream of putting it on social media for my own self esteem. My friend sent me that pic that she posted and straight away my eye was drawn to the worst bits. I can say it to my mate that never in a million years would I have put that on my SM, but I would never have messaged her to say the same thing either.
Agreed! I think if you are after a fairytale you are not mature enough to get married. I went to a wedding once which was Disney themed and there was a PowerPoint presentation about their ‘happy ever after’. They divorced two months later. I’m not saying that a Disney themed wedding is wrong necessarily but I think you have to have realistic expectations going into a marriage that it isn’t happy ever after, and you both have to work at a relationship and be prepared to compromise on things for it to be a success.Personally, I don’t want a fairytale kind of love because it’s not real life. It’s acting like everything is wonderful all the time and nothing bad ever happens as it’s so over the top.
its also easy to think you have fairytale love when you’ve not been together long enough for it to stand the test of day to day life when neither of you are feeling your best and you start arguing about whose had the harder day.
there’s a difference between knowing what you’re willing to accept in a relationship (which is super important) and refusing to accept anything less than perfect 100% of the time.
Realistically if you're marrying someone, it's more important to be a good team and be best friends than it is to be "romantically attracted". If there's a screaming baby in your arms and the pasta on the hob is boiling over, do you want to be presented with a bouquet of roses or do you want your team-mate to swoop in and sort the pasta out?View attachment 1734772

Yeah, that too. The video mentioned expecting someone to give you the "fairytale fantasy of your dreams" which, imo, is just an unhealthy amount of pressure to put on your partner. People are human, nobody can offer you a 100% dreamy, romance novel life.Personally, I don’t want a fairytale kind of love because it’s not real life. It’s acting like everything is wonderful all the time and nothing bad ever happens as it’s so over the top.
