Mum and daughter just on the BBC London news. Most definitely a claim on the way even though they didn't say it.

Mum and daughter just on the BBC London news. Most definitely a claim on the way even though they didn't say it. Some people are just attention seeking, I would be more concerned about Ian McKellen falling off the stage then trying to get freebies from the theatre and producers. Now I don't know much about medical trauma but I'm not sure if you need to go to hospital if a person's head hits your knee. The way the woman is going as if she was run over by a car!! |

I have zero respect for people like this lady who go on the news at every fart's turn! No-one needs to know

From the piece on BBC London News, it looks like her mother is controlling the narrative.

I think Johanna needs to get a grip. Amazing what people will do for attention. I'm guessing any injuries she sustained are extremely minor.
Tbh having Ian McKellen fall off stage and land on you, as long as he's ok and not too badly injured, is the kind of story you could dine out on for years!

Lol someone's after some compensation and/or attention. Classic Daily Mail style sad face. That photo of her holding a hankie to her face looks so posed. Why would anyone want a photo taken of them while crying unless they wanted to show it off. Mmhm. You have to visualise what's behind the camera here; someone likely on one knee or with phone at waist-height deliberately photographing their crying daughter. Why??? |

Soft tissue injury. A bruise then. She'll live.

To be fair having an octogenarian drop on you from above must be both painful and shocking.
I imagine there’ll be a hastily arranged meeting with Sir Ian for coffee and a selfie in due course. 😂

Disappointing to see so many judgemental attitudes about the poor woman on the front row.
I wouldn't blame anyone for going to the press/media if the organisation at fault is not playing ball, although it does seem to generate a backlash from some these days and, for that reason, it's not really advisable unless you have a particularly thick skin. Journalists also have a way of wheedling out answers to questions and distorting responses in ways that are not helpful.
As for staged photographs, what nonsense. Of course the mother at the hospital would do that. Anyone involved in anything these days knows full well you are best to keep evidence of everything that happens because others will deny it. I even video trivial stuff like cars being rented and getting off delayed trains, because companies always try and argue that things were not as they were.
No doubt if she'd instead brought her grievance to the Bad Behaviour thread on here as her vehicle of protest, there would have been more sympathy.

We may have to agree to disagree on this one. I'm just not buying it.

The Telegraph says she spent the night in hospital but I assume that was just waiting to be seen in A&E.

No offence but Sir Ian was always going to get treatment first given he was the one who fell off the stage and he’s 85. I do think there’s a culture of complainey Janeys who want compensation if they’re only slightly inconvenience and videoing people dealing with complaints is just wrong and shouldn’t be allowed. |

The mother would be a great "Mama Rose".

I don't understand why she is on a trolley in a neck brace, when she has a knee injury. To my understanding he didn't fall on her full body, just glanced the leg/knee.

Stuff compensation, I want to check he’s okay, and have coffee and a laugh with Sir Ian. |

I do think there’s a culture of complainey Janeys who want compensation if they’re only slightly inconvenience and videoing people dealing with complaints is just wrong and shouldn’t be allowed. It's important if we're casting aspersions on people's motivations to be evidence driven. So what are your sources for: - that the woman didn't think McKellen deserved priority - that any video has been published - that any published photo featured non-consenting third parties - that this was only a slight inconvenience. We are told that she went to hospital, so hardly slightly inconvenient. We are told that "soft tissue damage" was diagnosed. That means that bones showed no sign of damage. Soft tissue issues can range from something that repairs after a couple of days to something that can be painful and debilitating for months. |

I think if you manage to retrieve any CCTV footage around the event, you might be able to catch the exact moment their eyes rolled over into £ signs, which might be helpful.
I'm not sure how clear the footage would be when zoomed in though.

Didn't McKellen play Kerching Lear a while back?

I am sorry but going to hospital is not a marker of severity of anything 40% of A&E attendances are inappropriate No one is denying the person has suffered a shock and a possible injury The issue is the decision to seek media solace and attention That serves no medical function whatsoever |

I wandered by at 7pm tonight and was surprised by the flight cases and prop trolleys already outside.
Didn't realise this production only does one performance on Saturday. Then I saw the running time and thought "yeah, fair enough".

... 40% of A&E attendances are inappropriate ... I think with that statistic you are conflating "inappropriate" meaning unnecessary, because the patient did not really need medical help, with inappropriate because the patient could not get a timely appointment with their GP or the bit of the health service they actually and properly needed. |

"I felt a bit like I wasn't really being checked in on," Johanna said.
It's not that she wasn't being checked in on, its that it "felt" like it;
The feeling that she wasn't checked in on wasn't total, but merely a "bit" of such a feeling;
It wasn't that the feeling of being checked in on was only partial, but it was "like" that was the case;
She was in fact checked in on, but that check didn't qualify as "really" a check.
For whatever reason, that's a statement so qualified one wonders if it states anything.
Hope she's ok.
