Bethany Joy - Episode Discussion 6.10: Joy/Haley in "Even Fairy Tale Characters Would Be Jealous"

my foolish heart · 11-12-2008, 10:04 AM

Tension fills the air backstage at Peyton's (Hilarie Burton) USO Show, as Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) deals with Peyton and Julian’s (guest star Austin Nichols) romantic past. Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) battles stage fright and Nathan (James Lafferty) struggles with a decision that could change his career. Brooke (Sophia Bush) gets a call that threatens her relationship with Sam (guest star Ashley Rickards). Millicent (Lisa Goldstein) confronts Mouth (Lee Norris) on his relationship with Gigi (guest star Kelsey Chow). Angels and Airwaves make a guest appearance. Janice Cook directed the episode written by Nikki Schiefelbein.

Well it's a bit late for this, but figured some people still might want to discuss!

Thanks for starting, Kylie!

She was so amazing in this episode

She looked gorgeous, I loved her performance of Feel This, the scenes with Nathan were adorable, and overall she was just great in the episode.

I love the scene with Nathan and Lucas, it's so adorable how she's all excited about the drama with Lucas' life, and then talking about Jamie and his imaginary friend. I just loved that scene, it was my favorite of the episode (other than her singing).

Thanks for starting Ky!

I think the episode was pretty good. I am pleasantly surprised that NH have gotten these little scenes that we have seen lately. i hope I'm not jinxing it now.

I have to say the gossip thing with Lucas was hilarious! I loved it and it's great to see the three of them interacting, especially when it has some humor in it. I loved the good luck kiss thing. LMAO Hilar! They all did great.

Showing Haley being afraid of getting on stage was realistic and I'm glad they put some time and effort into being able to show that. if she would have just up and went on stage, I would have been a little surprised so it was nice to see that they for once though of a detail like that. And Haley was amazing, ahhh. joy did really well, even if the song was prerecorded so she sounded and looked really awesome as always!

The thing I was a little bummed about was Nathan not going. I know it was for the sake of Quentin and all but I really think they should have made him put up a little bigger fight about it. LOL Oh well, can't win them all. I loved the candle thing though BUT i wish they'd keep the NH scenes just a little bit longer. Sometimes they just feel like fillers. BUT! i will try to be happy that we are getting them at all. next week looks really good!!

Were you guys bummed about not hearing TST? I know some people said that but i wasn't surprised and I wasn't expecting it because it was more a Joy thing I think for the concert, same with HIMYAM, but it would have been nice to get a clear version of it.

Yeah I kinda figured they weren't going to play TST, since it was supposed to be a Haley thing and Feel This is Haley's song. It would have been nice to hear it clear though, like Caro said.

I liked this episode, for the most part. A few scenes I could have done without, but ehh, I'll take it. I really loved the NH scenes tonight. I wish there was more, but the scenes we did get were uber cute. I loved the first NH scene when Nathan was trying to get Haley to stop being nervous<3 And her singing Feel This never gets old. I love hearing the "let go" part.

No problem, ladies!

Yeah I didn't have my hopes up over TST, so I wasn't too surprised when it wasn't played. It really would have been nice to hear it clear, but like I said, I wasn't expecting it.

NH were adorable throughout the episode. And the LHN scene was adorable as well. I love seeing the three of the together and Haley's comment about being happy the drama was off of them was cute. We need more scenes of them together!

I was happy they had Haley be a big afraid of getting back up on stage. I thought it was well played out considering she hadn't performed in front of a crowd in quite a while. I thought it was funny when Nathan asked her if she had any instrumental hits. I was upset about him not going either - considering he so could have just stood behind stage and watched her perform and it would have been fine. The Quentin thing could have come at a different time.

I definitely wish the last 2 NH scenes had been longer. I so thought we were going to hear Joie play at the end and I was a little unhappy it was cut off. But oh well, it wasn't too bad of an episode so I can't complain much!

She was awesome, afraid to go on stage, Nathan helps her bringing back some memories from season 1, went on stage like a rockstar

singing feel this and definitely rocks the show. and the last scene with Nathan was

just more lap dance Joy please

Joy/Haley was great as usual.

When Haley was nervous my sister turned to me and was like hasn’t she already been on tour

But actually I can understand, she hasn’t performed in years and I was never a huge fan of the super confident rock star tour thing so it was cute to see her scared.

NH seem more in tune with each other, there isn’t that physical separation they had going on for awhile there at the start of this season.

Oh and I never get tired of hearing Feel This, I love that song.
