I looked and din't see another thread for this show...of course I may have missed it!!!

Quote:

Popular author Nick Garrett hopes to get over his writer's block by going back to his small hometown in Knights Ridge, Massachusetts. Once back home on October Road, he must face the people he wrote about unfavorably in his successful novel and whom he has avoided for the past ten years. Those he hopes to re-connect with include his widowed father, the close-knit group of friends he said goodbye to shortly after high school graduation, and the ex-girlfriend who may have had his child.

In the premiere episode, Nick gets an offer to teach a one-day course at Dufresne College, the small liberal arts school in his hometown. He sees this as an opportunity to tap back into that which initially inspired him. However he burned his connection to his past when he used his friends and family as characters in his bestselling novel, in the process casting their lives in a less-than-flattering light. Consequently the hometown response to Nick's return is less than festive.

Nick's old friends include best friend Eddie Latekka, who is disappointed that Nick abandoned their dream of starting a business together; there's also the good-hearted and straightforward Owen Rowan, whose family life appears the picture of perfection; the well-meaning but sometimes obnoxious Ikey; and Physical Phil, a lovable recluse since 9/11 who has adapted to living his life indoors.

Before he left town, Nick told his high school girlfriend, Hannah Daniels, that he'd be back in six weeks. Now ten years later, the jilted but never-married Hannah has decided to forget Nick's unfulfilled promise and go on with her life. She is a single mom raising her nine-year-old son, the bright and charming Sam. Nick sees coincidences indicating that Sam might be his son. Meanwhile, Hannah is involved with Ray "Big Cat" Cataldo, the former high school bully whose mission in life has been to bestow misery on the lives of Nick and his friends.

Nick makes a new friend when he meets Aubrey, a pretty college student and fledgling writer whose Bohemian style intrigues him. While he sorts things out, he moves into his childhood home with his father, a widower affectionately referred to as The Commander.

Although Nick doesn't regret fulfilling his mother's dying wish of experiencing life outside of Knights Ridge, he now finds himself oddly wanting to tie up loose ends at home, but realizes the path ahead of him is a rocky one. In spite of love bruised or lost between his friends and family, Nick embraces the familiarity of his former life and struggles to be included again among those he let down.

I haven't seen the previews yet, but the show does sound amazing! I was sad to hear we were losing him on OTH, but then when news of the show came around I got excited. I am really looking forward to watching this show in general because it will give me another thing to obsess over

Bryan Greenburg! How I miss seeing him on my TV screen. I just saw the promo for this show, and it looks incredible. I'm definitely going to be tuning in.

Is it all right to like the show without wanting the CC canon couple together?

Dangnabbit! I hate being a UCer!

It makes my life so miserable!

I have a hard time picturing BG and LP together

I'll definitely check it out though. But I will always see him as Jake. Maybe if he swept Peyton off her feet I could move on...but for now I am rooting for the show for BG, but wishing he hadn't left Jeyton hanging only to have Leyton suck the life out of my old fav show

~Unfaithful~ · 03-01-2007, 03:33 PM

^It's okay to be a UCer. I promise. I think I might like BG and LP together though.

I am so going to be watching this show.

I saw a preview for it last night and so far it looks like its going to live up to my expectations.

And the fact Bryan will be back on my screen is an added bonus.
