Overview

Ryan Murphy is dropping a new show that's set in 1981 Los Angeles. This one (he's the lead) makes me think of Cary, who later showed up as a villain in a later story. (Right? That was Cary who teamed up with Brad's evil half brother and evil ABC?)

I saw it and thought it was done quite well. I felt all the characters were true to form with some growth fur the years in between. I was very happy with the ending.

Everyone who’s read the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy knows that 42 is always the answer. Plus, we need to get properly slow roasted before things hit the fan.

In Chapter 39, Will is catching on about the pills and trying to not be a controlling bitch. So my guess of chapter 42 may be a bit premature, although I suspect it will still be a real cliff hanger....

It's going to take at least 2 more chapters to brew, and coordinate Marie's share of the explosion. Remember, there are several Schulters going to be involved this trip. Obviously Will, Marie has grown close while being his beard, and then big brother Jake IS married to Brad... JP and Steff are going to have to work hard to calm the coming storm waters!

I say.. have him overdose in the next chapter, then the family can all say "they tried" cry and move on and never mention him again. Like the Hayes family, Tim at the Mission, the midwestern Ohio familes

No, we are still a way off. Travis hasn't really succumbed to what is coming. Kendo is just starting to get him to mix and match the drugs, that is when the slide will really start, then we have to see how Kendo wiggles his way in deeper, of course the drugs will help with that. Then you figure at least a chapter or two of Will figuring out what is going on and how to react to it. Then BAM... Will is going to go postal, which of course will trigger Travis even more, and Kendo as well depending on how deep he has his claws into Travis by then. Honestly, surprised that Jake hasn't been checking in more on Travis.

I think with this scenario, Will is going to a lot more than just put the fear of God in Kendo. Kendo likes to surf. He could wind up as shark food. But I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my gut that Travis will take it too far with the drugs, and is going to wind up at Betty Ford or someplace similar.

At least chapter 46 was not a choice!

You speak for us all. Perhaps you need to be promoted? General Tim sounds good 👌

Kendo needs more time to use drugs, etc to be able to fuck and do more to capture a vulnerable Travis. What Kendo does next after they have sex--blackmail, etc- could scare Travis even more and cause him in another chapter to spill his guts to Will. I can expect Will to put the fear of God in Kendo.

Who knows!

A decent human being would have it happen AS SOON AS POSSIBLE since it is what we are waiting for...... 🤣 Love you

As most of you have guessed, Travisty is building up to a big explosion. Guess which chapter that happens in.

Could he work for Wade, too? Its been so long since I read Bloodlines that I no longer have a clear picture of what you wrote him to look like.

It's funny because I don't even read Bridgemont but I was thinking Cavendish, too. LOL.

I can see him as Cavendish

I think the star of Young Washington is really cute in that British boy way. Any fancast ideas, folk? I would lean towards him having to be a Bridgemont series fancast over a CAP fancast, but open to ideas. Mark has written so many characters as having this particular hair color (brown with red highlights) that he would have to work as someone. LOL

I was looking at this current new hunky actor getting pushed (this time for the Amazon romantic drama Every Year After) and it occurred to me that Michael Bradlow actually looks really close to how I pictured Joey, Carullo's doomed firefighter boyfriend that Will sees just before he dies in 9/11. Dude has even played a firefighter on T.V.

Hi, I was searching for related stories/message boards about this and came across this thread. I'm late to the game but thought I would share my answer... Yes, my brother and I had sexual encounters with each other as teens. He's two years older and when I was 14 we started exploring our bodies. I can't even remember how it happened. I just remember we compared our erect penises in our bedroom we shared. We eventually jerked off together and even played with each other's dicks. It was all very harmless and exploratory. It helped me feel more comfortable with my body and sexuality—we're both gay and came out later in life and to this day kept it just between us.

Has anyone watched the Obsession movie yet? I keep thinking the male lead, Michael Johnston, would make a really good Mouse. He even has a squeaky voice. (Mouse was Brad's classmate and later JP's boyfriend in the 80's who died of AIDS sometime between Man in Motion and A Summer Love.) My OG Mouse fancast is Kyle Gallner but Mark rejected him. LOL

Took a break this weekend and went to see Devil Wears Prada 2. I'd be interested to hear what those of you who have seen it think of it. Personally, I was very disappointed. Anne Hathaway was awful, being way too emotive, and Meryl Streep (as Miranda Priestly) was almost as bad. Miranda is supposed to be a bad-ass. She was not.

Yeah, Grok is fun. Now I don't have to dismiss actors as possible fancasts because they have the wrong eye color or their nose is a little too big. LOL

That’s really good

I tried to Grok a Will fancast. The base is this very cute Italian actor named Lorenzo Zurzolo. I made changes like cleaner eyebrows, green eyes, very subtle red tint to brown hair, a narrower and sharper nose, and of course, no facial hair.
