Fan Joy

[shipperx]

So, happy stuff.

*  Finished Ready Player One with a big ol' grin my face (it was the Monty Python bit that did it).  It felt like the book should've had closing credits with Tears for Fears singing "Everybody wants to rule the world..." with images of a house exploding with popcorn  (Real Genius reference). 


*  ABC is promising that "Cougar Town" will make it back onto the schedule (though it still won't say when). 






*  Didn't go to sleep until 1AM because the game wasn't over until 11:30, I still had to drive home (viewing party), and the aftergame radio show was still going on a 1AM.  It's truly absurd how much joy a football game can bring when it's 'your' team winning.  (And you come from a culture where this is more accurate than parody:

*  OLTL was canceled and is ending this week (which is sad).  But, on the bright side, they murdered the character I hate, loathe and despise.  And they did it in the most absurd way possible.  He was impaled by chandelier!  Die, Rapey, die!  Muwhahahahaha!  (Now if only they'll fix that adorable baby's paternity so that my favorite Navy Pocket S.E.A.L. would get a happy(ish) ending). 

*  Game of Thrones: In Production

Okay...how exactly are all of them going to GH? As themselves...or in new roles? John McBain could be interesting - considering that he and the actress portraying Sam McCall (Jason's current wife and the woman Franco allegedly raped - don't ask, makes the Rapey storyline seem relatively tame by comparison) used to be in GH's spin-off Port Charles, he played a vampire and she played the woman he was obsessed with. Not sure we need Blair, Todd and Starr though...we have enough anti-hero characters already, we don't need more. I did hear the actress playing Starr was being tapped to replace the actress playing Kristina. Then again, we've had cross-overs between OLTL and GH before (SKye jumped between the two shows as did Tracey, and I think someone else.)

Tristan is returning? I know Finnola Hughes (Anna Devane) is. All related to the Robin is dying storyline, no doubt. (the evil Lisa Niles reactivated her aids...too complicated and gross to explain.)

I gather as themselves. They said "Todd, Blair, and Starr." Though that is husband, wife, and daughter, so I can see them going as a group.

ABC owned both GH and OLTL so I think ABC still has rights to the characters.

Interesting. Why didn't they do the same thing with All My Children? Would have made more sense, considering Skye Chandler jumped from AMC to GH some time ago. And Anna Devane and Robin both went to AMC for a bit. There's actually been more back and forth between those two shows.

Is it because the head-writers/producing team from OLTL is heading to GH to take over?
Rumor has it that Sonny and Luke are on their way out. Lucky already left - although that was open-ended.

Hee. Todd vs. Sonny. Or better still Blair vs. Carly. Not sure there's enough room for the egos. ;-) I may stick with GH just to see how they handle that one.
