X Factor creative director Brian Friedman says he is working hard to make judge and mentor Louis Walsh happier in the wake of Stephen Gately's death.The grieving music manager was absent from the ITV talent contest's live shows last weekend after attending the Boyzone singer's funeral in Dublin, but continued to give mentoring advice to his group acts - girl band Miss Frank and twins John and Edward Grimes - over the phone.Friedman said: "Louis is definitely going to be back, we've been talking about his song choices this week and I think they're really good."Louis has been involved, even though he's been away he was still instrumental."He was still talking to his acts, he was still talking to me and making sure everything was going smooth and giving approval on all the things that I wanted to happen on stage."He loved John and Edward's performance of 'Oops!...
I Did It Again' - he thought it was incredible."I'm just trying to make him happy as well, because he's already lost one act and obviously he lost Stephen so I've got to make him happy."The 32-year-old choreographer - who has worked with Britney Spears, Pink and Fatboy Slim - also revealed he is frustrated by The X Factor studio's new state-of-the-art stage as it limits how creative he can be when staging the contestants' routines.Friedman revealed: "Our new stage - it's gorgeous, it's massive but I can't do anything on it."He added: "It definitely is limiting with the creativity which makes it more challenging to try to come up with ideas."
