I had posted this one a couple of pages ago
What if Julia got pregnant with a third baby and had an abortion and Andy didn't find out about it until after moving the kids to Everwood? Coming from the idea that Julia was basically a single parent because Andy was working all the time. you can reword it, if it's too long __________________

I think that Andy would have been shocked and disappointed that Julia had done that, but just like with the affair that he found out that she was having shortly before her death there would have been nothing he could have done about it, and since he had come to peace with Julia's affair he probably would have come to peace with that revelation too. I would seriously doubt that Julia would have done such a thing though.

I totally agree, Jerry. I think Andy would have reacted just he did with the affair. He would have taken the blame for both just like he felt the need to even try to take the blame and "erase" Madison's pregnancy too. I also doubt Julia would have ever done that either. I think Ephram would have especially been devastated if he found out about his mother having an abortion or getting pregnant and giving it up for adoption. It would have been way too heavy of a situation for Ephram to understand. He could hardly wrap his brain around the affair. Anything more and it would have been quite difficult for him.

Somehow I think this might not be a great discussion question because it would be so OOC for Julia.
But I do propose this question... What if Amy was the one in the coma, Colin pleading with Andy to operate on her. Surgery is successful, her and Ephram fall hard for each other, as they did. What would that do to the dynamic that was Colin and Amy? __________________

Plus...how would Ephram even meet Amy if this were the case? Would Ephram and Colin become friends while Amy was in a coma? That could happen while Colin is working on Ephram to get his dad to operate on Amy. This would also change the initial dynamic of Ephram and Bright. Bright would have no reason to bully Ephram and would probably befriend him as well for his sister's sake. |

Totally agree with your thoughts, Betty and Jerry.
Also... I just never viewed Amy and Colin as the meant to be couple under any circumstance. At the same time, Amy and Ephram were destined to be together. So any equation would have caused Ephram/Amy to get together romantically. Their energy was like white on rice, meant to come together. |

Here is a question...
There are plenty of fans who liked the character of Laynie and were quite upset when she basically disappeared at the end of season 2/beginning of season 3, never to return. What if Laynie wouldn’t have left... how would you have constructed Laynie’s journey in seasons 3 and 4? Anyone you would have liked seeing her with romantically? Would she have gone to college? Would Amy and Laynie have remained close friends? How would the Hart’s as a whole adjusted in the final seasons and would Laynie have grown closer to her parents? Thoughts? |

Excellent topic question Michelle.
I would have much preferred to have Laynie become a regular character in Season Two and instead of having Madison be Ephram’s first love interest, I would have loved to have seen Laynie be that love interest. I would have liked to have seen Laynie turn to Ephram for solace over the loss of her brother while Amy had her own grief arc away from both of them, because her and Ephram had immediately clicked once they met and Ephram would be one person that would understand what it’s like to lose a family member. As time went on I would have liked to have seen them develop feelings for one another, and that could have served as the catalyst for Amy to snap out of her grief and depression over the loss of Colin as she saw her best friend with the boy she loved but couldn’t admit that she loved. I could see the end of Season Two playing out with Ephram being torn between his feelings for Laynie and his feelings for Amy, and Amy being torn between her feelings for Ephram and not wanting to hurt her best friend, and then they could have ended it all with Laynie realizing that Ephram’s heart was with Amy and telling Ephram to follow his heart. I would have liked to have seen Laynie in the subsequent seasons possibly developing feelings for Bright and having Bright and her fall for each other, and that could have completed the circle of the Harts and the Abbotts. I much preferred Laynie as a best friend for Amy instead of Hannah, because they treated each other as equals and they had a history while Hannah was foisted upon us as Amy’s instant best friend since Laynie was written off the show, and I always felt like Amy treated Hannah as a pet project. I also didn’t like seeing Hannah as a love interest for Bright because they were mismatched and I found Hannah to be a boring and dull character, while Laynie was feisty and exciting, and she could have been an interesting love interest for Bright since they had history and they knew each other well. __________________

Thanks, Jerry! I'm shocked this question has not been asked in the past. I don't think it has. It is a good one because so many of us were Laynie fans.
Outstanding thoughts, Jerry! I will comment after I get some work done and have more time to think. |

I've always despised that Ephram lost his virginity to an adult babysitter in a car. I will never get over how gross it was. I’m convinced Berlanti wanted us temporarily tortured. Ephram (and the fandom!) deserved better. I think it would have been magical seeing Ephram and Amy have their first sexual experience and first time together all rolled up into one. How unique and special would it have been if Ephram and Amy would have been IT for each other? The reality is Ephram was going to be Amy's only one and for Ephram, it was the gross babysitter and Amy. So it's not like Ephram was with anyone else anyway. Gross babysitter didn't need involved. Should have deleted the creepy babysitter and just had Ephram/Amy experience it all together, and only together. Ephram/Amy were that magical, it would have made sense for them. We could have totally seen this had your scenario played out too. Quote:

Bottom line is Laynie shouldn’t have been pushed off a cliff at the end of season 2. There was so much left for Laynie... how she continued to adjust to her brother's death, as Ephram’s brief love interest, Amy’s continued best friend, Bright's long term significant other, as well as carrying the torch, representing the Harts for the rest of the series.

Bright and Laynie would have worked out nicely. Guaranteed they would have slept together fairly early on in their relationship and would have been in sync going there too without Bright pressuring Laynie. They would have mutually gone there naturally. Laynie was strong enough to put up with Bright's flaws and Bright would have appreciated Laynie's wit, intelligence and strength. Quote:
