Mark Arbour Fan Club

Isn't he supposed to be a surfer? It's also the 2000's- tanning was very, very in. I had a friend Brian in 2004 who obviously used a tanning salon in the winter but refused to admit it. LOL But yeah, Asher looks less tan here: One thing I've noticed about teenagers/early 20-somethings is that they don't seem as attached to tanning like my peers were when we were their age. I guess that's a good thing?

I can totally see that, but give him a slightly lighter complexion.

Asher Angel's face on a 6'2" body would make a pretty solid Will, I think. The green eyes and the dimples are perfection. Unfortunately most actors that are either teenagers or play them are short. It's funny when you look at photos of Robert Pattinson with the Harry Potter cast and he absolutely towers over them.

My original thought was Olivia Wilde, but she looks like a natural blonde and Madelyn looks more obviously fake. I also had Anya Taylor Joy in mind if you wanted to go for serious bleach, but she has that high fashion model look and I don't think that's what you were going for. Zach would be dating someone more American Eagle like. She looks more like someone JJ and Darius would date. She does look like she could be a bitchy socialite that JJ is best friends with. LOL

Already did... Surprised at the small number of entries on both of these compared to some of the others....

Jeremy Piven is spot on and so is Ann Bancroft. I visualized Taylor as having a less pear shaped face, but I can see that.

Madelyn Cline for Taylor Buck? Mark described her basically as a hot girl with fake blonde hair. She's got a great doll-like face. She reminds me of the girls that my straight guy friends used to drool over in Maxim Magazine when people still read magazines.

GA is having a vote for Reader's Choice 2023 Fantasy and Rich Boy - Vote Now!

Dylan Sprouse (aka my JJ pick) is doing the bad boy thing for some cheesy teen flick. This feels like what would happen if JJ got possessed by Darius with bits of Will thrown in. LOL

I've always pictured Isidore as Anne Bancroft (RIP) She exuded that warm, earthy sensuality and intelligent/classy vibe I've pictured with Isidore. That hair flip? What a star! I don't have any memory of Mark describing Claire's beau but I'll go with Jeremy Piven because he's so good at playing a weasel. LOL

Chapter 69- Method's Fleetwood Mac tribute -When Will talks to Travis on the phone. "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac -When Claire's kids go to Will for advice, guns all blazing.

I'd still say my favorite story you did was Bloodlines. I always liked the "nature vs. nurture" deal with it as you had this blood Hayes show up, but he was raised in a completely different environment as a prim and proper Blue Blood from a very conservative suburb in Ohio. I also just really liked using the late 90's music era. Such a good era. Too bad I'm not really using it now to reflect both the fact that it's a different era and that late 90's music is just passe and not "retro cool" yet. (There's a method to my madness.)

Kaitlin Olsen works for me. I used to watch It's Always Sunny with my stoner friend Steve way back when. Didn't know you pictured Claire with pointy features. I just remembered you describing her as a short blonde with big boobs. LOL I had Ian Somerhalder as a previous Jack fancast but I leaned towards James Marsden more recently. Matt Bomer would work as well. (He has more of the square jaw that Colton Haynes has.) If I go with my High School Jack fancast it would be Zac Efron, but his face changed a lot. LOL

I’m not seeing Reece. Her features aren’t pointy enough. Maybe Meg Ryan? Or Kaitlynn Olsen? If Jack is John’s father, we have to backfill a bit since John’s supposed to look like Colton Haynes.

My general Claire fancast is Reese Witherspoon because she nails that uptight WASP thing/prom queen in middle age vibe. My general Jack fancast is James Marsden because I have no problem believing that Brad would constantly describe him as pretty. Still looks damn good in middle age.

He has that lean prettiness I figured a Danfield would have.

I can totally see that

Jack Champion is adorable. Maybe a grown up Riley Danfield?

I was at a performing arts high school in 2004. If people weren't obsessed with Wicked, they were obsessed with Hairspray. LOL I recently saw a regional performance. Still really fun.

Awesome picks! I especially like the Hairspray song, since that movie is what inspired me to start writing CAP.
