It was lovely when Mick said he held Christine in his arms and she cried and said, "don't ask me." Also, when he said that he doesn't plead, but a couple of other people did plead with her to stay.
I think David Wild got a little carried away with himself (or with Stevie) wondering how Chris felt being the woman in the band when suddenly Stevie, "possibly the most beautiful woman in the world came in." Ugh.
As for Wild's comment that Christine may have felt pushed out around The Dance because the focus was so much on Lindsey and Stevie, I do remember Stevie saying in 2003 that even Christine knew that they always wanted to sing together. Combined with Christine really being ready to hang up her skates and Lindsey and Stevie's willingness to, for instance, go on Letterman and just sing together, I do think there was a BN vibe going on back then that made it easier for Christine to leave.
On the other hand, I loved it when Stevie would leave the stage for NTF and ISA and Christine would stay. That was beautiful to me, although as The Dance tour got longer, she did spend less time on stage for Not That Funny.
