Bringing over from the previous thread:

It'll probably streamline the discussions, this way. Sorry, I didn't know about the HG threads, either.

Dealing with those real issues gave it so much more for the characters to work with...a bit of romance is always good, too, although S/S was not a typical budding teen relationship.

The one where he tells his father what his step-mother did to him?

Yes, that one.

Such a great scene for Hayden to act out!

As for a new thread title...um...

'Troubled teens in the wilderness...'
'Bare your soul and begin to heal...'

Yours isn't bad at all, Stephanie.

I'll probably revamp the opening post sometime.

Aww, you used my title idea!

Thanks for the new thread, Laura.

It's so nice to see those group photos again.

**BehrItAll** · 01-25-2008, 09:44 PM

I have never seen the OP and it looks so good to me!
Those are all photos I have never seen before.
I like how in each of them like only 2 people are smiling and it's never Hayden.

It was good material for them to work with.

And they all did a good job.

Very good work. Having to get that news off your chest.
And then the video he had to make to record his statement... that was well done too.

**happy mom** · 01-30-2008, 01:26 AM

I especially like the fireside pics - they really capture the essence of their friendship.

Hayden seems to be good at not smiling.

I had forgotten about the video that Scott made.

**BehrItAll** · 01-30-2008, 08:48 PM

They are great pics

So emo!

Me too till the storyline/Hayden's performance was brought up.

The step-mom was such a bitch

Saving those letters he wrote to her to use against him!
You whore!

I'll just jump in to say the reason why I liked it so much was that it wasn't so sugar coated and happy happy joy joy,the teenagers were dealing with real problems which many do in real life as well but still the show remained very optimistic,it wasn't anxiety inducing,it was people having problems,beating their problems and coming out as better stronger people, I think that's why this show had a big heart in my opinion

**BehrItAll** · 02-03-2008, 06:50 PM

Well said.
There was a sense of hope in the show.
You saw it in the kids that succeeded the program and the kids who stayed because they wanted to be better one day. Even with all the setbacks and bumps in the road.

**master yoda167** · 02-04-2008, 01:56 PM

Yeah,because that's how life is...in general...

**BehrItAll** · 02-04-2008, 07:17 PM

Just watch the news to see that.

I wish they would show the episodes on TV again.

**master yoda167** · 02-05-2008, 02:33 PM

yeah,me too...

brathanfan27 · 02-09-2008, 08:20 PM

I love this show so much!

Scott is definately my favourite character. I wish it was still on.

**master yoda167** · 02-11-2008, 09:51 AM

hey brathanfan27...haven't seen you around before,so welcome

I'm Maria,one of the mods here,very nice to meet you

and I so agree with you,this was an awesome show

**Cereal Killer** · 02-13-2008, 07:41 AM

Welcome brathanfan27!

Funny thing to say you have never seen the OP before since it's always there to be looked at if you wish.

I just meant that I should check all those links and just generally revamp the OP a bit. It could be better, you know.

More Hayden/Scott pics and info, you know.

My favourite part/episode of HG was the one where Scott talks about the abuse. Too bad I missed it on TV.

Like I said, I only watched this for Hayden, I wasn't that interested in the other characters.

**BehrItAll** · 02-13-2008, 10:37 PM

I started out only watching for Hayden and then got invested in all the characters
