    Chapter 35

    I would assume it has to be Tiffany. She's his mother. It's also been hinted that while she doesn't have Danfield money, she does likely have Carrswold level money left by her grandparents, which would make Wade trust her more.

    Chapter 33

    Will finally had that sweet high school relationship with Zach. It's sad to see that go.
  3. Characters calmly talking? That ain't CAP, buddy. That's an episode of the Waltons.

    Chapter 25

    I grew up on the East Coast and it was fun to re-live the blackout. As well as JJ being such a crab about it. LOL

    Chapter 6

    I'm assuming JJ is pissy because while he wants to act like it is, the condo isn't actually his, so he can't really bitch about his relatives using using the place as they see fit. I mean, JJ will be 18 in a couple of CAP months so maybe he could look into dipping into his trust fund money for a place. Or maybe whatever sponsorship money he has left? He likes expensive clothes but he doesn't own real estate or a car so he can't be burning too hard through cash.

    Chapter 77

    You have to understand that myself and Daisy really worked a lot on JJ's career. We had his timeline figured out to 2006 as JJ sought to get himself on the cover of a Wheaties box.

    Chapter 74

    I'd go with Burberry. Lol Anyway, I personally think Mark has done a really good job of slowly but surely inching JJ into some maturity. JJ at 18 is not the same kid he was at 15. It's slow progress, but I love where Mark has put JJ in 2004.

    Chapter 72

    Okay, @Mark Arbour, you have to enjoy the Twilight Zone reference here. The idea of Will being Billy Fremont is pretty hilarious. LOL Like, what if Billy Fremont was a handsome, tall, Malibu teenager from a rich family instead? Like now I can see a conversation between Stefan and JP where they admit they don't actually like Will, but they're terrified of him and don't want to be put into the cornfield. LOL For what it's worth, I think Will does manage to chill out a bit by the time he's 17.

    Chapter 71

    It's kind of shame. Wally and Clara could have surprised us.

    Chapter 64

    I know. I remember one time there was a fan who seemed to think that I was a huge influence on Mark to the point I was dictating the story and I was like, "No, Mark at the end of the day does what Mark wants to do." If I had that much pull we would already be seeing Riley Danfield as a college student in 2018. Lol

    Chapter 64

    Honestly, the more you insist on Alisdair showing back up into the story, the more likely Mark is to kill him off. LOL
  12. Yes. Mainly because I picture Liam Hemsworth playing Zach.

    Chapter 60

    I mean, that's just generally true. Good-looking people just get treated better, whether they deserve it or not. I read Warren Beatty's biography once and it basically could have been called "I'm An Insufferable Asshole People Can't Stand, but I Was Once Hot So It's Okay."
  14. I mean, you do have a point there. We have never had Darius do a POV chapter, and there's a lot we don't know about him. One thing I didn't expect was Mark was writing JJ as having a surprisingly good moral code to him, at least what we're seeing of JJ at the age of 18. I was not expecting that. I thought JJ would develop into a male version of Veda from Mildred Pierce given being massively spoiled and his general haughty detachment from people. Also, his biological mother had some very Veda like characteristics. But nope, JJ's actually got a moral compass to him. It doesn't make him any less of a bitch, but it's there. LOL
  15. No, but I did collect postcards. lol
  16. I love the Streak. Mark can at least let me keep my good memories of Zach!
  17. Jake, I think, comes up a lot because it's a classic name that could reasonably be used for a Silent Generationer or a Gen Zer. He also likes using names to honor previous characters in the series. The only time I ever bring up names with Mark is if I think the name doesn't fit the character's age (say if Mark wanted to name a little girl in 2004 as Susan which is a Baby Boomer name) or to suggest trendy baby names that fit the period, like Maddie.

    Chapter 54

    If I remember right, Mark and I discussed Zach needing a car at his new school because it's located in the suburbs and suburban bus transit is just awful. It really is a safety issue. We don't want Zach getting run over by a car while walking in a suburban neighborhood or something.

    Chapter 50

    I just really want JJ to have a fun, stormy relationship with a bad boy Dylan McKay from 90210 type.

    Chapter 49

    I had likely just watched the Michael Fassbender/Mia W. Version of Jane Eyre when I made those comments. Please don't think of me as being some big opponent against boarding school education.

    Chapter 40

    I bumped up the forum thread where Mark explained why Robbie died.
  22. Bumped up for @PrivateTim

    Chapter 30

    I like to think, since JJ hasn't had a relationship yet, he's kind of just sitting back and laughing at the ridiculous relationship drama of his relatives and being glad he doesn't have to deal with it. LOL
  24. I have to ask @PrivateTim though...do you feel like punching this face and calling him a manwhore? If so, Jacob's perfect. In all seriousness, I do actually really like this, Mark. Jacob is very tall and lanky yet muscular, which feels right for Brad/Will. He's also very handsome, but not in a cookie-cutter, Hallmark stud kind of way. That also feels right. And he can do intense very, very well.

    Chapter 17

    My pre-plastic surgery fancast for Scott/Lark is this actor named Lukas Gage, probably best known for getting beat up by Jacob Elordi on Euphoria and getting rimmed on the White Lotus. He had a viral moment a few years ago when he shared the audition footage of him catching a director insulting his apartment. I'm sure he's a nice guy in real life, but something about him makes my skin crawl. Like I get the seriously sleazy vibes here beneath the pleasant blond surfer bro look. Which in my opinion is absolutely perfect for Scott/Lark.
