Also I really like Corey as a person, yes he is eccentric and a bit weird, but he is also a nice person. I didn't much like the way Chris and Jayne were a bit off about him, especially Chris, they have become very big for their skates now, and a bit obnoxious. Corey may not be everyones cup of tea, but he has been through a lot as many child actors do and then find life harder to deal with as they get older and find they are not so in demand. He lost his mate Corey Haims who also had trouble coping with the leap from child actor to less film roles. He was a good mate to Corey H, he also has tried hard to get back into film work, and his marriage broke down, I think he was looking forward to Dancing on Ice, but not realsing it wouldn't be a breeze and needed working at.

Corey said after watching how well the previous week's lot did, how bad he was on the Ice and needed to try harder. He seems very sincere bless him. I fully expected as he won't be that well known anymore, and so won't have the fanbase, and as he wasn't as good on the ice as some of the others, for him to be in the bottom two and out Sunday, but he survived, so hopefully that gave him the confidence boost he needed and will push him to try even harder. He was working on a couple of films I think he said in between Skating practise, so hopefully that won't hinder him too much. He survived the first eviction, so even if he goes next Sunday, at least he didn't go first.

Very strong post Suze and I agree with it all,especially re - Chris Dean, he is developing a rather patronising attitude unfortunately.

I thought it was a really good show last night.
