Elaine Hendrix misses ‘DWTS’ Halloween Night after injury lands her in hospital

Hi. So, obviously I’m not in the ballroom. I injured my ribs during defying gravity and today they just seized up and I couldn’t move. Um, they brought me to the hospital, but the doctor has said with a day or two of rest I should be able to continue. And that’s exactly what I want to do. I want to dance. I want to keep doing this. So, um, Allan is holding down the fort. He’s amazing. He’s awesome. I was so excited for this routine. You’ll get to see it in its rehearsal form. And just know that I love you all. Thank you for the support. Please vote for us cuz I want to see you next week. [Music] Elaine and I were dancing and all of a sudden Elaine kind of froze and said she can’t move and she can’t breathe and something happened with her rib. I feel like my muscle is twisted under my ribs. She’s in so much pain that I don’t know if we’re going to dance tonight. It’s just a lot of unknowns right now. Oh, you guys. First, let’s talk about these costumes. Absolutely incredible. I think it’s an a testament to the wonderful hair and makeup scene. Let’s talk about the creativity that went into this week’s whole look. Yes. So, uh when we knew it was going to be one hit wonders night, uh there was only one song that I wanted and that was Mickey. There was only one person I wanted to meet. That was Tony Basil. And there was only one. Yeah. And um there was only one costume I wanted to wear. So, it was just it’s a dream come true. I love this about Elaine. She has ideas and she’s like, “I really want to do this.” And I’m like, “Yes, I love that you care so much. I love that she has her own ideas.” She’s like, “I was a cheerleader. Mickey in the music video, they’re cheerleaders. We’re going to be cheerleaders.” And I was like, “Yes, give me some pom poms.” No, it was so perfect. You pulled it off so great. You got incredible feedback from the judges. What was that like? You know, when you’re in here, there is just so much swirling at you that like I’m standing there just really trying to focus as I’m trying to catch my breath. I respect them so much. I love to hear both the the positive amazing things that they’re saying as well as like the feedback that we’re getting on things that I can improve. So, I just I love it all. Yeah. And former cheerleader, you got to pull out those moves on the stage again. I’m sure that was so amazing. Did it bring you back to those high school days? I mean, yeah, it did. It’s also like I mean, this whole thing does. It’s also like that was was an entire lifetime ago. So, I’m just, you know, like pulling pulling out the pom poms, dusting them off, and going to it. Yeah. And no big deal. But you had a true icon come to your rehearsals. Can we talk about that a little bit more? What was that experience like? I think Elaine was more nervous for that than the show. Yes, I was. I really was. I asked them, I said, “I would really love for Tony to come to our rehearsal.” And they’re like, “Call her up.” And I’m like, “Okay, I will.” And so I did. and she came and that was just like a dream come true and she and I actually have a lot of um touch points and I can’t believe it took Dancing with the Stars to actually get us together. It’s crazy. Yeah, we make dancing Dancing with the Stars. We make dreams come true. It’s true. It’s true. Speaking of dreams come true, you guys pulled off a pretty epic superstar reprise with the cast. How did you guys pull that off? Honestly, begging them to be in it. Everyone’s everyone’s working so hard. We’re like, “Get, can we do a quick TikTok?” They’re like, “Yes, what do we have to do?” And then they love it. But, you know, it’s it’s a lot of work doing Tik Toks and dancing and we’re just everyone in the cast is so fun and so we have such a good time. So, everyone’s just so happy to be in each other’s Tik Toks. And next week, first ever Dancing the Stars Tik Tok Night. We’ve never done this before. So, what can you tell us? What is the night going to entail? I mean, it’s going to entail incredible music. Yeah, I think incredible. More costumes, moments that live on Tik Tok forever. Fire. It’s going to be fire. Yeah. I don’t know what to expect though, cuz it is the first time. It is. But is there anything you can tease about the dance you’re going to be doing or is there going to be like a Tik Tok trend specifically? I don’t think here’s the thing. I don’t think you can do trends cuz they’re IP. That’s true. But I think it’s gonna be heavily inspired either the music or or maybe some people can do trends. We don’t know. We also don’t know what anyone else is doing. But we’re gonna do a very we’re going to use a different word. We’re we’re bringing some edge to the ballroom. Edgy dance. Okay. Okay. I can’t wait to see it. Thank you guys. Relax tonight and we’re fine. Listen, this is I’m soaking up every single second of this. So, thank you. Yes. And I’m sure you are relieved that the first show is out of the way. The nerves, the excitement. How did it feel to know how show one works and now you can move on to week two? Yes. It’s so many moving pieces. You never know what’s going to happen, but once it’s done, it’s just it’s exhilarating. I mean, what a day. What a process. All of it. Yeah. I think you can practice and try to like emulate it what it feels like, but nothing feels like it. So to do the first one and nail it like that, it just it reassures me and it makes me very happy. Yeah, absolutely. And listen, we were so excited to see you on the cast lineup. I mean, Alan, what was your reaction when you knew you were going to be partnered with I mean, she’s an icon. She’s played so many iconic roles, but above that, she’s just such a good person. And I get to know I get to learn about her every single day, and I’m impressed every single day. And look, we loved those Parent Trap references tonight. We saw those. Whose idea was that? Was that a collaborative effort? It was collaborative for sure. It was collaborative, but this guy is such a great choreographer and a teacher. He really like knows how to do things for me, and that’s critical. I mean, we wouldn’t be able to go do what we just did had he had he not like be able to pay attention like that. So, it’s it’s kudos to Allan. Absolutely. And I know you had some pals in the audience tonight. What did their support mean to you? And who else from the parent trap cast can we maybe see in the ballroom this season? So, my bestie Lisa Ann Walter was there and she literally got um Abbott Elementary to swap the schedule so she could make it. Yes. So big love. I mean, she’s my big love anyway. Um, Ellen is my life is my show security blanket. Lisa is my life security blanket. So, it just helped calm my system. And every time I’m around her, I’m like, “Don’t make me cry. Don’t make me cry.” So, she showed up. I’m like, “Don’t make me cry. I got to go on stage.” And um it it just meant the world to me. And, you know, I I’ve had a long career. I’ve worked with a lot of incredible people. And quite honestly, I’m pulling out all the stops. I’m calling everyone, “Come to the show. Send videos. Tell people to vote cuz I don’t want to leave. I’m having a blast.” Yeah. And lastly, I know fans have been begging asking. So, I have to ask Parent Trap sequel. What What do we have to do to officially get that in the works? So, what needs to happen? You know, I think people need to keep uh keep making it really vocal. That’s what happened. Jaime Lee was able Jaime Lee Curtis was able to go to Disney and show all how all these people had been asking about it and they were like, “Oh, okay. Yes.” And then Freakier Friday happened. So, I think it’s really up to the fans. Um, and cuz we all we’re all like, “Yes, we we’d show up.” I mean, I I don’t know exactly how you bring Meredith Blake back, but we’ll find a way. I’m f I’m for it. Yes. Yes. And more Yes. You know what? A cameo by your new dance partner. You know what? There’s got to be a dance scene.
