So, this is basically split off from my "How Do You Think CAP Saga Should End?" thread, because the topic became less about how the CAP saga will end, and more about how we get to the end. I thought it'd be cool to start a thread where we speculate about what we see happening to the characters as they navigate the first decade of the 21st century. So what are some things you see happening? - I no longer see Matt and Wade getting married when gay marriage becomes legal in the U.S. I think they're going to be more like Stefan and JP; committed to each other, but not in a mongamous marriage setting. I like the idea of them raising Riley with Tiffany. - Gathan's going to lose friends in the Iraq War. That feels like a given. - JJ's going to distance himself from his family because of the demands of figure skating, not just time-wise, but in terms of personal image. Really, it wouldn't be that hard from him to slink away anyway because no one likes him as much as they like Darius and Will. And besides, JJ is going to get run over a bus and die anyway. - Will's going to have this messy, "will they or won't they" flirtation with Tony for the next four years, until one day finally realizing that Tony, although he's a cool guy, isn't the right one for him. Or Tony changes and comes out of the closet. I'm still not entirely sure even that would make them right for each other. - Brad and Robbie jet the whole family off to Provincetown in Massachusetts for a wedding ceremony, in the summer of 2004. That would be a hell of a lot of fun, seeing them spending a weekend in a gay beach town. - Will meets John Hobart and his new 8th grade girlfriend, and it's about as hilariously awkward as you can imagine it to be. - Will has some extremely awkward sex with Rainn, the cute blond emo girl, but it's still a fun experience. - Will has sex with Ryan, and they never talk to each other again because Ryan freaks out. - Jeanine gains her sanity, and moves back to New Jersey with Maddie to be among her family for a bit. That could be a way to tie her into 9/11 somehow- some New Jersey towns lost a lot of people to 9/11. -Frank dies of a heart attack. Or cancer. Either way, I don't see him living a long life like JP or Stefan. Events I'm hoping get covered in CAP: 9/11, the start of the Iraq War in 2003, gay marriage in Massachusetts in 2004, the Asian Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, Torino '06, The Duke Lacrosse scandal, the Virginia Tech massacre, the '08 election, the financial meltdown Trends I'm hoping get covered in CAP: Puka shell necklaces coming back, skater bois, emo kids, hipsters, the metrosexual "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" craze, trucker hats, Livestrong bracelets, Uggs, Northface jackets, Myspace, Facebook, "sexting" What about you guys?
