bro- yes it’s a kids show but the whole riley-james-alfie thing was HEAVY! like riley and james spent half of season 4 crying and depressed bc riley cheated on her boyfriend with on of her students. like that ain’t light-
I've been thinking about it lately, and it's amazing how TNS has remained a beloved show for over a decade since its instant success! Many of those now working on the series owe its continued success to your contributions from the beginning and your appearances throughout the later seasons.

Hope you’re doing well Brit, I appreciate that you humour us by filming these videos even if they’re not your passion. I would love to see some content you’re super proud of as well, but in the meantime I’ll divulge into this guilty pleasure content 🫶🏼

I know you made it clear how awkward it is to watch your younger self act. I’m sure anyone else would feel the same way but honestly you literally carried the show. Riley was easily the best character and it makes me so happy that you’ve gone back to season 1, where it all began! ❤

Have you ever noticed no one has last names in this show but we finally get to see Giselle’s full name when she’s a judge in season 6! I found it so interesting
From what I remember each dance studio was supposed to have 10 dancers plus 2 alternates so 12 in total but for most of the competitions TNS went to they never had any alternates for one reason or another.
oh my gosh- this is the episode where james mom goes “mommy’s having a hot flash” 🤣🤣🤣

Haha, thank you!
I’m so happy you’re going back to season 1!! I was loving the reactions❤❤. Side note I thought your acting was so great and genuine on the show for it being your first time. Don’t be so hard on yourself! 🥰
Thank youuu!!! 🎉🎉 I love all your reaction videos but the ones where you react to yourself, they're so interesting! There's the nostalgic factor, of course, but there's also the deeper element of hearing what it was like creating the work from someone involved. It's that deeper element that makes these my favorite. I remember watching season 01 when it first aired on Hulu back when it was still free and you didn't need an account lol. Everyone in the show was around my age and I didn't know it was scripted lol, remember feeling so confused about the talking heads vs what was on screen (example being Stephanie throwing the dance captain audition dance, like why would you reveal that lol). You were also my favorite character because I saw a lot of myself in Riley. A bit awkward and shy, nervous about taking risks, follows directions, very anxious lol. All that to say that TNS, particuarly the early seasons, became a comfort show for me and you were a comfort character. While your reactions to other seasons are great, these are just really special.

OBSESSED with your s1 reactions, also gives me major nostalgia. so glad you’re back reacting to it ❤
It’s always nice to take a throwback to the past every now and then with these reactions! Season 1 of TNS is always a great nostalgia trip! This episode sets up pretty much everything that’s to come in the second half of the season and that scene with Riley and Emily at the end was just heartbreaking. Riley lost the trust of her big sister and she feels at fault for that because she was pushing so hard for Michelle to be dance captain not knowing what that would do to her relationship with Emily. She’s broken and now she needs to find a way to pick up the pieces and put herself back together again but how do you heal a rift that feels impossible to mend?

I started rewatching TNS season one after coming across this video. The nostalgia i have experienced this week was really nice. I also enjoyed watching your reaction videos they add new perspectives to the episodes i never thought of before, also the behind the scenes info is really interesting. Thank you for making these video, they are great!
It’s so surreal seeing The Next Step in general again, that show has been a core memory for me when I was in grade four and I love getting to rewatch this through a reaction from the actress playing arguably the main character for the first four seasons of the show Also I love getting to hear your anecdotes from there, it’s fascinating to learn about what goes on behind the scenes

Q&A question! I would love to hear what it was like in season four, transitioning from having all the OG cast to then having all the new guys come in (Shelby, Akex, isaiah ect) and becoming almost like a role model figure?

I missed watching your reactions to s1! Honestly so fun as alwaysss
this is my comfort show, love u !
My cat was trying desperately to find the other cat when he could hear Sauble through the screen, it was very cute. Probably less so for his sister who was deeply asleep when he went to annoy her, seemingly thinking she must have been meowing at him haha Absolutely made my day to see this video. Season 1 will always be the best season and I've always really liked this episode. That scene at the end gets to me every time I watch it, it feels so real and honest and you truly did an incredible job (I mean you always do 🙂). I love your new background btw, I hope the apartment is looking the way you want it and you're getting to enjoy the space. I'd love to hear about any recent books you've read you'd recommend. I've just finished The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer and it was incredible, highly recommend. Looking forward to the next video, so lovely to have you back making videos 🙂

I love these videos so much I’ve been watching since 2021 I love u so much
I actually really liked a lot of the plot lines and the “mean” behaviour of the characters in the first season. A lot of my own experiences with dance unfortunately did have a lot of similar behaviours and that unfortunately made fall out of love with dancing. I really loved watching the first season when it aired in Australia bc I was still dealing with a lot of the affects that dance politics had on my mental health and I found watching TNS really did help bc I related to the characters and in a way it helped me fall back in love with dance. 🥰
just wanna say you are awesome 🥰

Hey Brit! So glad to see you’re back on You Tube!

I have two questions - 1) Your cat is called Sobble…. named after the Pokemon of the same name or is that just a complete coincidence? And 2) Of the four full seasons you filmed on The Next Step, which was your favourite and why? Loving your work as always, keep it up! 👍
