Aww, thanks for opening the new thread I didn't even remember what beautiful OP we have.

nikkilover!

Very gorgeous OP

|Sweet Disposition|

I absolutely love Tina's banner and the arts at the very end

Lauren Helen Graham

I really love every single part of the OP but the fact that all of us distributed to it is the most amazing. There's something from all of us if I'm not mistaken.

Rachelspicy

Wow I had never seen that OP before! Very sweet, very pretty and the quotes are perfect! Anyone who did it did a great job!

Lauren Helen Graham

Rachel, if I remember right we re-did the OP after you left our board. So there weren't a chance for you to see it before.

Thanks so much for your lovely words on the OP. It for sure makes all of us smile today.

So, your love still there for the two of them?

|Sweet Disposition|

The whole color scheme of the OP is gorgeous too like a light pastel of colors

Lauren Helen Graham

Exactly. It even fits our board really well.

Rachelspicy

Yeah the colors are really nice!

Oh okay. I could have checked though, as I haven't totally stopped being on !

Aww you're welcome and your posts make me smile (very big) too!

Nah it's gone... forever!! Kidding! Love never dies - at least for me! So yeah, I'm even sure I'm still the biggest Ava/Johnny shipper!

|Sweet Disposition|

I think I will always be a fan of these two. There relationship is so grounded that it is relateable which is why I love them so much even with their troubles

Rachelspicy

I agree! We've seen so little of it in retrospective, though. I mean I feel like their relationship had the potential to be so much more. But because there were only 2 seasons and 26 episodes, it didn't have the space or time to develop entirely. For me they are sort of an incomplete version of a bunch of great tv couples - and it's one of the reasons why they remain one of my favorite couples. But at least we had their relationship written as one big love story; with the story starting on the first episode and ending on the last. That's the way I see it anyway.

nikkilover!

I like that they wrapped up their relationship by the end of the series. It would have been great for another season to explore another chapter in their relationship

Lauren Helen Graham

Rachel, I would never dare to say anything different. You're the biggest Johnny/Ava shipper I met!

Great I could make you smile

I as well will be. And when we did the Summerland re-watch I again completely fell in love with them. Isn't that strange because after such a long time you'd think it had changed a bit at least but it hadn't

There relationshop or stuggle was so big like in your face and repedititive so it was easy to watch
