Hi DaniloDaysOfOurLives, I saw you have pledged to do another review so I'll grab this one!

Before I start, can you do a sweep through the article to edit for tone? I've read over Talk:Ashling O'Shea/GA1 and I think the same issues of being "more often conversational than encyclopedic" persist. Ping me when you're done and I'll start the review proper.

Hey @Rollinginhisgrave:, I have removed some bits and pieces and I think it is better now. Thank you so much for doing this review, it means so much! :D DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:44, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thanks for the initial sweep. Starting now:

Prose and content

Forrest attributed her Hollyoaks experience to helping her learn about the industry and making her feel more comfortable on set. This can be removed from the lead.
but did not like the course as she found it too academic and realised that she would rather perform.[1][2][3] Forrest had wanted to act but felt that she had no proper experience. the order of this is a bit messy. So she went into this course, which was an academic study of drama and screen, because she didn't think she had enough experience to act? I think this should go upfront.

Other

Broad/not too detailed: I think we are in the latter category. 133 words on how she was cast meets Template:Overly's words may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may only interest a particular audience Everything in the paragraph after and thus believed that it was "great"... should be trimmed drastically or cut. Generally, if something is likely to be a promotional interview, which almost all of this material is, don't give facts too much weight when they are saying how great the thing being promoted is. I can see this persists throughout the article, so rather than me going through and picking them all up, why don't you respond here if you disagree with me or run through ahead of time.

Hi DaniloDaysOfOurLives, pinging you in case you didn't see this or have otherwise forgotten. Are you on board with the feedback above, or would you prefer we get a second opinion to see whether such changes are necessary? Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 01:24, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Rollinginhisgrave, I am so sorry for the delay. I addressed most of the comments but just was looking at what else to trim - I began trimming and will do a bit more later today/tomorrow and keep you updated. I will not trim everything as there are several things that I believe are important but I will explain them in my reply. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:03, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rollinginhisgrave: Hey, I have trimmed it heavily, which was hard. I tried to remove stuff that may seem unimportant/her praising the productions she was in. The stuff I kept in are things that I believe are key details on her experiences in her career and roles and thus I believe should stay, although if there are certain sentences etc that you have issues with please let me know DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 05:15, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
