She annoys me when she says she's gonna be at stage door to meet people then says she left at a different exit later on

[twentytwothirty]

Also, what happened to her friendship with Emma Blackery?

She annoys me when she says she's gonna be at stage door to meet people then says she left at a different exit later on

It does annoy me when people aren't at stage door, I remember going to see Cats and waiting ages then eventually one of them came out to go to the shops quickly (think they were having a party as it was Kerry's last show as Grizabella) and told us that they wouldn't be coming out and if anyone was going home they were going to use the front exit. That was fine. At the end of the day it's not our right to meet them at stage door and we have to accept that the ones we want to see might not be there anyway. Like when I saw Wicked and neither of the two leads came out of stage door because of the sheer volume of people.

Also I think Carrie has said multiple times that she won't be at stage door all the time. It's great for fans but it's not in their job description that they must leave that way, there's other exits for a reason. And from what I've seen she always apologises in advance for not being at stage door.

Personally, I've never been at stage door at Les Mis but my sister has and that was how she described the situation to me, thanks for clearing it up

[sweetmm]

Also, what happened to her friendship with Emma Blackery?

They had a side by side M&G during SITC and there were a few pics of them together.

[twentytwothirty]

Ah, I had thought they had drifted apart to be honest.

If her 'fictional story' about her and Pete gets made into a movie I'm officially removing myself from the internet so I don't have to endure her banging on about how hard she worked and how she has been doing this and that since day one and it's always been a dream to have a movie and how she's just a simple girl who started out doing videos in her bedroom and all of her success was down to hard work (and definitely NOT down to having a famous brother obviously!!!1!!!!1!!) and people come and tell me it's down to him? CARRIE. WORK. SO. HARD. TOM NO PUT ME IN THEATRE. ME WORK TO BE EPONINE. ME WORK HARD AT SHOUTING IN VIDEOS. TOM NO TELL ME TO SHOUT IN VIDEOS. ME SHOUT FOR MYSELF and my lovely subscribers who should pay X amount a month for a bookmark in a box from yours truly xxxxx

...wow that snowballed

[twentytwothirty]

I'm not surprised that the box idea didn't really take off, it was far too much considering most of her viewers are young people who might not be able to afford it

Does she not sell it anymore?

I think she does but I haven't seen many people say they've got it

Well she already does Dear Tom&Gi videos, why not go full John Green and have her dreary little book turned into a movie.

Who needs an original and creative YT career, just copy the vlogbrothers.

Ah, I had thought they had drifted apart to be honest.

Carrie has quite often mentioned that she's super busy with les mis so doesn't have time to socialise (wether true or not ...) so that would explain why it seems they've drifted.

I found it interesting that she posted 'shaving mister banks' where her friend shaved his hair for charity and didn't mention when she was due to shave hers.

[twentytwothirty]

As a big fan of Tom's and McFly, I didn't realise they were related at first, but after her constantly saying she didn't get her fame from him i found it a bit defensive. If she were so annoyed at people saying it you'd leave the topic alone as constantly saying it makes people wonder?

I don't think she's shaving it, just donating some to The Little Princess Trust, after her run in les mis is over.
From this point, I tweeted Carrie numerous times(when i was a fan) telling her about how I was donating my hair(I did it this july), it was tweeted off 3 accounts over 50 times to her, whilst she was on-line, and she didn't even favourite the tweet, I'm not saying she had to, but considering she's also donating her hair I'd thought she'd be happy a viewer was supporting the trust.

And from what I've seen she always apologises in advance for not being at stage door.

For the most part she does and she always announces on social media if she has to be somewhere immediately/isn't feeling too good/takes a nap but for some reason when I went she didn't say anything. I checked her Tumblr multiple times through the day because I've seen her apologise on there before and not on Twitter/Facebook but since she didn't, I just assumed she'd be out. There was just a few pieces of paper stuck to the windows and on the actual door saying she "wouldn't be able to sign anything" this performance, but I don't think they were specific enough as there were about 50 people including me and my friend that waited anything from half an hour to an hour for her since they didn't actually say she wouldn't be out.

At night, we went to another show up the road that lasted only 2 hours 30/45 minutes as opposed to the 3 hours Les Mis is supposed to run. I wanted to stagedoor at the theatre, as they were going to have a cast change the week after and two of my favourite actors were going indefinitely, but I only had about 5 minutes as I was desperate to go to see Carrie. I felt really rude and anxious, especially as they were all soo sweet to me, but I knew Carrie would be there as she hadn't made any posts on Tumblr/Facebook or tweets in between the matinee and Les Mis' evening show. We literally raced there and once we were there there were even more people than before waiting for her, before someone (I think they were a swing? but I'm not too sure) came out and told us all angrily that she'd already left.
Fortunately my friend managed to convince a stage manager to give her the bag of things I bought for her. I was on the verge of a panic attack because of the rudeness of the swing and the amount of people that were there, so I couldn't hand it to him by myself.
I'm not holding it against her at all and I still very much like her and she's one of my main inspirations (as I'm hoping to be on the West End and am currently training, etc, etc), and I understand how hard it is living as an actor in an 8-show prestigious musical, even more so for 3 years, as well as maintaining a regular upload schedule, writing schedule and a healthy social/personal life, but I'm sure she could at least take maybe a minute in the dressing room to write on Tumblr "I'm not going to be out at all after the show today, sorry guys! xxx" (and I know her Tumblr's linked to both her Twitter and Facebook page so that would make the job twice faster) and I'd get a notification and I would be disappointed sure, but all I would have to do is leave the bag at stage door and me and my friend wouldn't have to wait in the pouring rain for 30 minutes-1 hour + 10 minutes because of a misleading sign. I know she is in no way obligated to leave at stage door, more or less mobbed by lots of people, but so far I've seen her announce her absence, as far as I know EVERY time, so maybe this was just a one-off event.

TL;DR: I went back after the evening performance and she didn't say at any point during the day or the day before that she was sick or wouldn't be out and a swing yelled at me.
Oh well. I'm just glad she's doing well now.

Also, does anyone know if she still responds to letters? I'm beginning to think that she's ignoring me specifically. I sent her about two asks on Tumblr, very long and detailed, but she just ignored them and I thought oh, they just got eaten by Tumblr it's all fine. In the stage door bag was a letter and I know for sure she got it all because she showed the mug I got her in one of her videos. It's been almost three months and I haven't heard hide nor hair from her. I also saw the video, in mid June, and wrote both a comment and a tweet mentioning her and thanking her for showing it. Again, zero response. But I'm debunking that because she could just be busy...
She doesn't respond to a lot of fans, I've seen, which was why I posted in the previous thread about how she should ignore negative comments that might influence her and things, before she posted the 'Haters Gonna Hate' video. I have a feeling she at least saw my comment because she responds to a lot more people now.
I know she can't respond to everyone like I mentioned before and it/I could all be a giant inconvenience to her, but I genuinely am curious. I also had another letter in the bag from another friend and as far as I know, Carrie has responded to my friend. So I'm beginning to think she just doesn't like me.

idk, she's saying she's got loads of letters to reply to

[helia]

I sent her about two asks on Tumblr, very long and detailed, but she just ignored them and I thought oh, they just got eaten by Tumblr it's all fine.

To be honest, she only seems to reply to the Tumblr asks that allow her to show off or defend herself in some way.

"No i’ve never had braces! Thanks very much!
xxx"
"I was actually told by the resident director who auditioned me 2 years ago for Les Mis who recently left, that he had no idea who I was prior to me being cast."
"This made me laugh whilst writing my new book ‘On The Other Side’! Love it!"
"Stage Door is simply just the entrance and exit to the building…that’s pretty much it! Haha!"
"Do you regularly remember fans names?
by toxic-hiccup
It’s very rare that anyone ever properly introduces themselves and tells me their name, unfortunately!"
"‘All I Know Now’ and my new book ‘On The Other Side’ are 100% written by me!"

Essentially, ask her something about Les Mis/her book/her boyfriend and she will be happy to reply.

[twentytwothirty]

She speaks far too much about Pete

[Rubylee87]

I agree, it's not wise for her to speak so much about Pete. In my experience, romantic relationships which are formed in your early 20s are not likely to last the long term. This is mainly because both people are still growing and finding their identities and there is still a lot of learning about life to do. It's easy to get swept away in a grand romance but it's always hideously awkward when you've over shared on social media and then have loads of stuff about this person on your page.

I thought Carrie would have learnt from what happened with Alex to be a bit more guarded about her relationships. If you're in the public eye, it's never a good idea to post lots of things about your partner. They seem a nice couple and I hope it lasts. However, if it all goes wrong, it's going to be very awkward because the whole world will know.
