CHF’s mouth reminds me of that one in the opening credits of The Rocky Horror Picture Show who, I think, was Patricia Quinn?
Nice to hear an acknowledgement of her smearing lippy all over her cast mate in Addams Family which I commented on at the time.

Eh, as annoying as it can be I feel like she has a right to discuss kissing him considering they’re now a couple 😂 she does overdo it at times though and moreso during Addams

Found a gossip thread about her yesterday, titled "Carrie Hope-lessly Devoted to Oliver Ormson".
Can't argue with that.

Carrie's back to her favourite topic again... The Stage Door.
Basically something happened to her. She tweeted about it. I can't remember what it even was, some bad luck thing we all go through now and again I'm sure. Someone replied it was karma for her not doing the stage door the other day. Drama has hence followed.
Yes, the person should have not tweeted it. No ticket comes with a meet and greet but it was probably just a throw a way comment from a fan upset they didn't get to met their idol.
Advice. Ignore them. Move on? It's just one person saying something bad in a sea of good. Let the good vibes win out?
No...
What followed was lots of shaming tweets as to why she couldn't come to stage door etc. None of which is needed. The "hopefuls" then wade in to the point that the original poster comes off twitter. Well done everyone, another non incident handled brilliantly...
Others get involved and try and calm things down
"Maybe if you're not coming out, have someone go out and tell them you aren't coming? While I agree that you're no obligation to meet fans, it feels incredibly disrespectful just to let people wait outside for an hour when you had no intention of coming out? It's just polite."
"We get asked before she show if we are signing or not and then the queue is told who will be there. They all got told last night by front of house that I would not be signing and still decided to wait. Xxx"
Xxx indeed.
What a bizarre set up this show is. Asking before the show who is going to sign in a space after the show.
It's like Disneyland... a sign goes up... "signing today is... [fanfare] Donald Duck!"
Some cheer. Some boo. Some wish it had been Daisy. Some were hoping for Pluto.
Crazy.
No doubt there's been many more thousands of posts on the subject and a vlog no doubt in the works too. It's giving me a headache!

I've looked. Loads more posts.
Of course Mr Drama himself Mark Shenton can't resist getting involved either
"I feel so sad for @carriehfletcher that she felt compelled to explain why she wasn’t available at stage door to meet and greet fans. People buy tickets to the show; not to a personal audience with its star after. She has a life and friends of her own to see, too!"
"What saddens me, Mr Shenton, is that the many of the cast were at the theatre bar last night + yet I’m the one being tweeted. Which means this person was only in the queue to see 1 person in a cast of 16 + a team of many more who all put time/work into making Heathers, Heathers."

People keep talking about drama, but shouldn't drama be a bit less ... boring?

Shouldn’t a social media and vlogger realise that public status and “fame” is actually what makes her brand? Without the followers, fans and audience she has nothing no? Sitting in the same bar you’re asking for trouble. Want privacy? Go to The Ivy Club or Soho House - that’s what they are there for.

She's a YouTuber. She creates content for her over half a million subscribers and probably the same amount or more who watch but haven't subscribed. She's made a video based on a question her fans probably ask her all the time, based on views and likes (yes a large majority of her fans will watch and like anything she puts up, but that's part of the bloody point of being a YouTuber) just like all the other god-knows-how-many YouTubers do. I really don't understand this board’s obsession with examining every little thing this woman says and does, like she's the only person ever to do anything. And some who claim to not care or be bothered about her certainly do spent a lot of time talking about her (that is not directed at any one person, but if the glove fits...)
Of course I’m not saying no-one’s allowed to have a negative opinion of her, just sharing my own personal views!

Because it's quite interesting? having a musical theatre/youtuber crossover? aside from Miranda Sings/Collen Ballinger there's not another 'big name' on youtube who is also interested in musicals etc.
As someone who follows/watches a fair bit of Youtube but isn't quite fully into that world (much like Carrie talks about in that video, which admittedly is not the most thrilling 8 minutes of my life) I find it quite interesting dipping my toe in.

I understand both of those points, but that wasn’t the point I was trying to get at - maybe I didn’t explain myself very well, but all I’m trying to say is that a good 90% of this thread is just people bashing one person, and when it’s concentrated in it’s own thread it’s a little disheartening to read sometimes, as someone who is not a die-hard fan but who also doesn’t agree with most of the criticisisms thrown her way, by some people who seem like they can’t wait to come here and have another pop at her. I know there’s not many YouTube/MT crossover stuff, but I feel like she gets unfairly judged and scrutinised for things she does that are ‘normal’ in the YT community but not in the MT community, then gets judged for things that are ‘normal’ in the MT community but not in the YT community. But I appreciate it’s hard to discern if you’re not a superfan of both. I just think she’s quite a talented young woman who is trying her best to make her mark and keep everyone happy, like lots of people are, but she seems to get judged harsher than anyone.
Like I said, just my opinion from what I observe reading this thread compared to others and not directed at anyone in particular.

I reckon she’s loved up.
All the signs are there. Giggly, giddy, not quite sure what she’s saying or why but very happy about absolutelyeverything.We’ve all been there.
Well actually, I haven’t because I’m incapable of love.
Or any human emotion for that matter! 😑

I think it's probably because a lot of this board doesn't understand youtube as a medium? or aren't engaged with it? Perhaps I did misunderstand your previous post but I think some of it is still relevant- and I think we're actually saying similar things. I don't understand why people get angry that she has a youtube following, and I also get angry that people dismiss youtube- it's as Carrie says in that video- a creative outlet. Yes there's vacuous content (Zoella and co) but there's also great creative stuff- Miranda Sings being a great, early adopter of that. BUT I think if it's not a world your'e familiar with people seem to think it's just people sitting around getting popular for no reason and they get angry about it. I'm not quite sure why either. All that says, Carrie does attract the drama, whoever's fault that may be and as long as there's drama theatre types will be here for it whatever platform it's on.

She's now tweeted about a book which is being published by someone which apparently includes details of a previous relationship she was in. Poor Carrie, looks like she's having a bad week.

Yeah you're right, we're very much saying similar things and there isn't a point in there I disagree with! Live for the drama, right? And BB you're also right, she is loved up! She's going out with Oliver Ormson now (Lucas off of Addams Family)

In the interests of gossiping about something else other than her videos- I really like her and Oliver together (and like him) he seems sweet, and obviously is part of the same 'world' so hopefully that'll stand them well.
Especially after that horrible experience she had when she was very young. (I wouldn't want to drag it all up here, it's an easy google for anyone curious)

You don't even have to Google. I've just noticed that she's made the headlines on the BBC News' Entertainment section. I can't say I've ever heard of the ex she's having problems with but I suppose he must be famous for the BBC to consider it newsworthy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44952440

Personally I do watch a lot of YouTube and I have no issue with crossing over from there to theatre. The issue with CHF is I find her so unlikable and completely full of her own self importance. The difference between her and her brother is huge.

Wow I never thought Alex Day would become a balding gremlin. He used to be very good looking. I have no idea what he's done but I don't understand why CHF needs to share EVERYTHING about this exchange online. Surely if she's getting the lawyers in, sharing the messages between the two of them in order to get headpats is moot? I also like the way he clearly didn't believe her threat about her lawyer. He knows her quite well I think

^ I have to agree with theatremadness on this one. I'm by no means a CHF fan, in actual fact I was swept along by the virtual eye-rolling on this very board every time her name was mentioned and found myself unintentionally disliking her based on no personal experience whatsoever. Since seeing her on stage (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was a particularly low event, so discounting that) in Heathers I suddenly thought "Hey, she's not deserving of this much stick". Whilst I understand a lot of it is aimed towards her general online presence, I still don't believe the negative attention she receives from others on here is necessarily fair. The lesson here for me, at least, is not to be too easily influenced one way or another by those who talk the loudest. On the opposite hand I found myself devastated to have missed out on seeing Titanic during its two London runs due to the heaps of praise it was receiving here. I booked for the tour and found it loathsome and very dull. Nobody's fault in particular mind, other than my own.

One of the reasons he’s publishing the book in the first place is probably because she hasn’t actually said that much about their relationship before, and in the head of an abuser that makes it acceptable to exploit it for money. I’ll never know exactly what he’s thinking, but I think that’s a general theme amongst people like him.

In that case I'm on her side, even if she's a bloody drama queen most of the time. Manipulative behaviour/abuse in a relationship is never warranted by anyone.

Yes- I wasn’t aware of her/them at the time but what I’ve gathered since is he was abusive to several people. And this book is his way of trying to defend his actions. So “famous” or not I think I’d be speaking out against it too. And from what I gather about him I hope he gets what he deserves.
