TREACLE! OUR FANDOMS HAVE COLLIDED!

It is quite probable that only [livejournal.com profile] treacle_tartlet  will understand why this made me bark with laughter.

Kat: Think of it as Defence of the Hip-Hop arts! You're Hermione.
Sammy: Why am I Hermione? Why not Harry?! Okay … at least Ron …

After Abi collapsed, she was forced to stay home and rest, then put on a diet with the nutritionist to make sure she took in enough calories, and sent to a therapist to talk about her control issues. Her friendship with Sammy bloomed as he helped her through recovery.

Ethan's father, whose name may be Sergei Karamakov, is a famous choreographer who travels the world shouting at people, from what I can gather.

Tara's accident occured after she and Christian had an afternoon off and went to Clifton Gardens together, where they started off playing beach cricket and ended up snogging wildly. They were on the late ferry back, and ran in time to get back for their gala performances, not knowing the performances had been brought forward and thus they had already missed their chance.

Just as they made it to the wharves, Tara missed her footing on a step and fell. Now I must say that having had both one of the injuries she sustained and several of the types of accidents she did it in: I call bullshit. She could have dislocated her patella falling that way, but there is no way she could have broken her femur.

Also, when Christian carries her into the school, she has her knee bent sharply at first, then out straight later. When someone changes the position of your knee while you have a dislocated patella, you both scream a lot and cause them physical pain, as an orthopaedic specialist in Royal Sussex County Hospital can attest, having worn my other pointe shoe in his ribs.

And Miss Rein is Tara Morice! I had no idea! (Their little Russian character teacher is exactly like one of mine -- it's spooky!)

I recognise that my encyclopaedic knowledge of this show is tragic, but comfort myself in the certainty I will forget it soon enough ;-)

Thank you for catching me up - but frankly, Ethan is the better catch (well duh, blond for a start). And I so totally would not have recognised Tara Morice..... my ballet related accidents were much less exciting, overuse injuries because (to quote Ronald Quirk) while the perfect dancer's body is a freak of nature, I am soooo beautifully normal :) But I nearly spit tea out all over the keyboard reading about your adventures with a dislocated patella.

And he's so pointy and smiley!

I did not recognise her, either, but as it turns out she is several years older than I thought. And that poor doctor ... it was involuntary! He took it very well and said he would remember to remove patients' shoes in future.
