Well I think I'm finally going to be wrapping up another chapter on my long multi chaptered story I've been working onfor the last few years now, but I'm stll just so frustrated and sad that I want to cry honestly because It's so hard writing for rare pairs when everyone else tends to love/like the more popular couples to which they get all the wonderful, amazing long comments and what's worse is that I didn't even get a single comment on my last posted chapter over at wattpad 😭Sometime I feel like giving up on the story and thinking it's not worth it to continue on even though I do have a few fans of it. I know I'm mainly writing for myself which of course I was at first because I love this couple so much and they barely got much screen time at all and when they did I didn't like much of what I saw and what we got on screen and they are the only couple I ship on this show as well, but on the other hand I love comments too.

I would have hated this because I couldn't stand Tara and honestly in my opinion there was only one Gemma and that was Gemma period, Tara failed miserably at trying to become Gemma and I hated that storyline it was stupid. Tara was killed off because Maggie Siff wanted to be and asked to be

I so agree with you. I loved her in SOA!! definitely did a phenomenal job in that role!

Katey has been recovered from her car accident for a while now and yes she's been mobile and just fine. The bed scenes were because Louise was depressed, yes it was odd just because it's not in her character to be that way, things change, people change and not only that, but things like that can happen when people are depressed no matter who they are just saying. That said it's not that Katey doesn't want to be on the show it's just Louise a reoccurring character and that's just how it is and Katey likes that way to my understanding it's what reoccurring status means the character isn't gonna be in every episode all the time it has nothing to do with her accident at all, it's Katey's choice and that's what she chose to do was to be on reoccurring status.

Thanks! And good luck to you too with your stories/one shots and I know how that is with the ideas I still have a lot of ideas for my current story I'm working on and I have them all saved and written down although every time I think I'm done with ideas I think of more with my couple they didn't get too many scenes nor scenes that I wanted for them so it's really fun to just imagine what I want for them and write it how I see fit because they didn't get in canon.

Good news I've gotten a spark of motivation suddenly on my story so I'm taking advantage of it and starting to writing again which I'm happy about so I hope I can at least finish the chapter I've been stalling on for a while now and maybe even continue on with the next chapter. ❤️🤞

Well she was depressed and scared and all that.. Maybe she didn't think of that because of how everything went down with it, after all she was let go I don't want to think they've retconned, but that's just me. 🤷‍♀️

Well loved this episode!! Lots of Dan & Louise which was awesome (as usual) I felt bad for Louise being scared to be out in the world after just touring all the time and Dan should have listened to her and her feelings from the start, but I'm glad he did in the end even if it was a bit slow. I loved that they went out and picked up a new bed together and got rid of the waterbed finally and their ending scene was very cute, but I have to admit I was disappointed as I wanted to see their new bed, Now onto Harris I called it - a miscarriage which I'm relieved about because I'm sorry, but Harris is not responsible enough to have a kid, sure it was sad, but she needs to get her life together first. I know she's supposed to be in her 20's or close to it, but still having a baby is a big responsibility among other things for anyone no matter what and she's just not ready and wouldn't have been anyway if nothing had happened. Mary's back which was great!!! I loved that we started with a Dan & Louise scene and ended with one... loved that!!

Loved this episode! A lot of Dan & Louise which was awesome although Louise's misstep about their financial issues wasn't something she should have told granted, but at least she felt horrible afterward and apologized, but Smitty didn't help that situation either by setting Dan up in the first place. I also did love how Louise was so protective of Dan and I hated Smitty's character so much!

Well sadly my motivation is down again for my story and it doesn't help that I've been so distracted lately with other personal things going on so I haven't done much writing on the chapter I've already started that said of course with my couple being so unpopular and underrated that doesn't help my motivation to come back either. Hopefully I'll get back into it again soon. 😢 Writing is so hard!! 😭

I have never noticed the walk thing with Katey, but if that's the case maybe it's a high heels thing after all she has worn a lot of them for her characters over the years and possibly she's (Katey herself) just used to walking like that because of having to wear so many heels all the time. 🤷‍♀️ That said regardless of anything appearance included I still think she's a great actress and I love her anyway and she still looks great as I said earlier. As for the filters it might be some type of plastic surgery or something I don't know and personally speaking I tend to just focus on her acting not her appearance. (Same goes for every other favorite actresses/actors/characters of mine that I love I tend to just focus on their acting, but that's just me)

The more I think about this the more I think they casted her because Louise is a bit younger than Katey herself so yeah I guess it does seem plausible and I don't think they were focusing on the actresses ages as much as the characters ages instead. 🤷‍♀️ Personally as for Dan & Louise I think they look fine together and it's believable because I think that's how Louise always was you know acting young and definitely looking young so it's believable to me especially because she's a rock musician. 🤷‍♀️ I'm sorry, but I totally disagree about Katey looking like a creepy doll I think she looks amazing for her age. ❤️

I loved this episode! It was a little weird having someone casted as Louise's mother who wasn't much older than Katey herself and I suppose why they did it was becasue Louise is a bit younger than Katey, but regularless to me it was still strange. 🤷‍♀️ On to the episode...I loved that long bit we got of Dan & Louise before the opening credits it was so sweet and adorable!! ❤️ As a shipper of them it made my heart melt. As for Louise's mother I don't like her at all and the fact that she lied to Louise just made it worse for me and I felt for Louise and I can see why she and Louise never really got along in addition I loved Dan here sticking up for his wife and I can see why he was trying to keep the peace between the two of them and he did have a point of trying to get them to make up even though as I said above I don't like Doris. The ending tag I'm not gonna lie I wish it had ended with a Dan & Louise scene because it started with one that'd been awesome for my shipper heart, but all in all it was a great episode and loved all the Dan & Louise gems we got.

I loved this episode I got laughs out of it. The best parts for me was Louise she was awesome!! She was the MVP as they say. I hated Kai and I hated how Harris just up and insulted Louise in her own house she had no right to do that, it really made me mad and what's worse was that she didn't even ask Dan & Louise if Kai could stay at their house. That said I loved it when Louise threatened him with the bat that was great and deserved. Now Harris as a character I don't like her. but then she turns around and is good, so it's complicated for me so I go back and forth with her and I don't know how feel about her and Louise bonding even more. In my opinion I really wish we'd get more/some scenes between Louise and her other grandchildren specifically Mary and Beverly Rose (I'm still upset about that story time Beverly Rose/Louise scene that wasn't even seen) I think scenes with them would be really awesome and cute in terms of Beverly Rose.

They've casted Louise's mother for upcoming episode and I don't know how I feel about it. https://tvline.com/2022/12/01/the-conners-jane-curtin-cast-dan-mother-in-law-season-5-photo/

The only reason why it may have felt like Louise was taking over (and she wasn't in my opinion) was because she was a manager and it was what she was used to plus she just lost her job and maybe she was just frustrated and upset by that and Jackie yelling at her didn't help either because she hates that as she's a calm person and doesn't like it when people yell especially at her.

I loved this episode a lot!! I'm not gonna lie I was pretty nervous before it aired about having Jackie & Louise working together. That said I felt bad for Louise for losing her job at Casita Bonita and I'm gonna miss the restaurant I admit, in addition I didn't realize she and Dan had a lot of dates there, but I'm not surprised though I thought that was a sweet call back to their dating days and I love how Dan was supportive of Louise when she lost her job as well, that was a sweet moment. Now onto Jackie & Louise that was a powerful scene there I felt bad for both of them by the end there, but more so for Louise because first off she loses her job and then when Jackie let's her work with her she starts screaming at her when she's trying to help and she even tried asking for her thoughts and opinions on what she wanted and how she wanted things done, but she wasn't giving them nor making any decisions so I can't really blame Louise for doing what she did because Jackie wasn't giving Louise any answers to her questions of what or how she wanted things in her own place and Jackie wasn't even listening to her and that's what Louise wanted as no one listened to her at her old job at all and it's the only reason she was doing the ideas on her own; plus Louise definitely did have some good ideas and I'm glad told her she just was trying to help (which she was) and that she actually cared about her and her ideas, of course I had a suspicion before all of the yelling that Jackie might even have been jealous that she wasn't the one thinking of the ideas and I was partly right with that sadly, but that said I'm glad they made up with each other and were able to clear the air and I loved the ending scene there with them and the popcorn and the two of them trying to figure who going to be what it was cute and sweet and real sister bonding going on there!

Loved seeing Louise in her first Halloween episode with the family and since she and Dan got married! It was awesome!! Loved her costume as well it was very cute! Also loved her threatening the family to give Dan his Halloween he wanted, only Louise would do something like that and it was great seeing her take a stand for it, was hilarious! I got a lot of laughs out of the episode especially with Louise's scenes...and more Louise next week as well I love it and can't wait!!

Ah okay I must have missed the next year part, thanks for clearing that up

Actually I heard Dan mention to Louise when they were in the living room talking that Mark was off at college or something in this episode so he was mentioned definitely not lazy writing this time.

Loved this episode! and it was Louise's first Halloween episode with the family and since she and Dan got married. I laughed a lot with it...So much Louise was a bonus for me and I loved every one of her scenes and her costume it was very cute! Can't wait for next week episode!
