In reply to vixytwix. My husband lived on Coogee Bay Road and I was at Randwick and then Waverley for 12 years. I get the feeling the Wiggles didn't take to Sam either.

Oh Dear…what about Sam? (awkward silence). I really never took to him to be honest as a legitimate Wiggles member but I agree they should have handled the whole situation better, it’s a pretty abysmal affair – here’s 60 grand thanks for the last 5 years, bye. I was at Uni in Newcastle when the Cockroaches were doing the pubs and clubs but Coogee was my old stomping ground( I lived on Brooke Street). I have lived and breathed The Wiggles through early child care education and children of my own. My son once cried when they wouldn’t let him sit in the Big Red Car at Australia Zoo ( so, being the rebels that we are, we snuck him in when no one was looking!)

In reply to ChrystinaNoel. Neither can the Wiggles.

In reply to Noreen. Green or orange surely one of those could have got a run.

In reply to Catherine Bedson (@Farmhousehome). I know he's taking on a big job again. It's lovely he can come back but they just were a little silly in their handling of the whole thing.

In reply to Ally.

Definitely think it’s the mum’s upset about this – I’m just fascinated that they was so unprepared! It’s interesting that they had no idea there would be any reaction – I think they were forgetting that people do get attached to performers.

I just learned about this yellow Wiggle situation a few weeks ago – the fact that it was one guy, but was then another – can’t believe it blew up like this!

Funny thing is that I think us parents are all much more upset about this than the kids themselves are. They were just all so wholesome, and now, some 15 years or so on, we have realised that they actually are just human. Shame though.

The Wiggles were a big part of my life to, my daughter (now nearly 19) used to watch their video time and time again during the day…even my parents couldn’t get the songs out of their heads at that time! I thought it was so sad when Greg couldn’t continue due to bad health and in my opinion he still doesn’t look well enough to have the energy required for the amount of touring the Wiggles do…I love them but they do come across as somewhat naive.

my kids loved the wiggles, too! i know “fruit salad”! however, we never played it in the middle of the night! maybe that’s why you’re so creative? you had all that interesting musical influence during those key parenting years. well, good luck to them. i’m sorry to hear their bad news. couldn’t they just get a different colored shirt and keep going – all of them together? joy to you!
