In 1x14 when Ace and Nancy are in the library, a guy walks by with a stack of the old yellow hard cover Nancy Drew books!

And I'm pretty sure Hannah Gruen from the Historical Society is a book character.

And yes Hannah Gruen was apparently Carson/Nancy's housekeeper in the books.

Also, in the Pilot (which I just re-watched) there's a River Heights Dr. street sign (which is where the original books were set- River Heights, IL to be exact).

Summer Falls

yeah my sister told me that bout the name

I caught the River Heights sign too when I rewatched the pilot!

I noticed a few other things too. Mostly they have to do with the titles to the OG books:

• When they show Nancy's bulletin board the the beginning of the episode, there are newspaper clippings about her solving a mystery at Red Gate Farm and one involving ivory charms. Two of the original books are The Secret of Red Gate Farm and the Mystery of the Ivory Charm.
• Karen mentions Nancy going on a camping trip to Shadow Ranch and one of the original books is the Secret at Shadow Ranch.
• The medium Nancy, Bess, and George visit is named Harriet Grosset. Grosset and Dunlap was the original publisher from the 30s to the 70s.

Looking for things like this is a lot easier when you already know what happens so you don't have to pay attention to the plot as much

Ooo thanks for catching those!!

I figure Shadow Ranch had to be something but I couldn't put my finger on it.

And she was played by one of the actresses who portrayed Nancy Drew too!

I've been trying to keep a list as I rewatch but I forget sometimes haha but here's a few more:

-Keene High School-after the name the OG books were written under
-The old clock that all the clues are in in 1x03-the very first book is the Secret of the Old Clock
-I just rewatched 1x05 and I paused over the sticky note that had the passwords Laura had tried to use to get into Tiffany's computer because I was convinced they would all be Easter eggs One is Hollow Oak, and one of the books is the message in the Hollow Oak. There's also a book called the Phantom of Pine Hill which is the company (?) that's on all of the documents Nick and Ace find once they get into the computer.
-I was poking around the fan wiki the other day and I learned that the illustrator for most of the original books was named Russell Tandy, like Laura

Wow I didn't know that!! Very, very cool!

BTW, I looked up the passwords too when I rewatched a while ago.

Already recognized the Bungalow shout-out in 2x01 and the Stratemeyer Woods in 2x02.

Also, the Bobbsey twins are a walking Easter Egg even though they never crossed over with ND in the books.

I forgor we even had this thread

I kinda forgot about it too oops oh wow I totally missed Stratemeyer woods.

gold-steps
