Danielle Baker

Danielle Baker is an Australian actress and puppeteer who only puppeteered on The Ferals, taking over as Kylie from Kelly Wallwork in the 2nd season. I don't know why she only puppeteered for one show and not in any other projects, especially ones by the Henson Company. At least Danielle worked with 4 other puppeteers that have, mainly David Collins, Emma de Vries, Mal Heap, and Terry Ryan. I'd say Baker has what it takes to work in projects either with Sesame Street or Henson. Besides than working on The Ferals, she has mainly been an actress for television and film. Some of the projects she worked on include Lap Dancer, Good Guys Bad Guys, and Murder Call, just to name a few No one knows what happened to Danielle Baker after 2000; in fact, I'm not even sure the picture above is who she looks like in real life. If she's still acting in both television and film, that proves that she is still being busy. I only hope that she'll give puppetry another chance in her free time. Danielle doesn't really have to though, it is just a suggestion, though I think she should keep it. Baker should at least reconnect with The Ferals performers and maybe try to catch up on things that have been happening. She also should have worked on the spinoff Feral TV where she could have worked with Adam Kronenberg and Sean Masterson. But if she's much happier acting on-screen, than it's alright for me. Danielle Baker, you're amazing at acting and not so bad at puppetry. I hope you're still working in film and television today, and thinking about giving puppetry another chance. But it's not something you have to do, as long as you're happy with the acting career, that's all that matters for you. Well done wherever you are Danielle. You're a star Baker!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
