I was in the SVU for quite a while years in fact, but not anymore and trust me when I tell you there was a lot of nastiness there too and I definitely experienced shipping wars and all that you mention in your post. That said I think every fandom has the drama and toxicity it just depends on the fandom and whose in it I think there could be less or more.

I too don't like self insert stories either and as @Annber03 said I don't mind others reading them or writing them. I also don't particularly love OC fics either - again I don't judge nor mind others writing them and I think some are fun. The only time I ever use OC's is if they are absolutely needed or for a plot device in like just to move a storyline/scene along, but as for doing a full on OC character(s) like for stories no I can't do it and won't mainly because I don't think I could do them justice and I don't have that kind of imagination as others seem to do. As for reading OC's yes I have and will sometimes, but I'm definitely not obsessed with them at all by any means and self inserts no I've definitely never read any and I don't plan on it anytime soon.

4x17: Big Negotiations and Broken Expectations Press Release (Airing April 13th) Dan enlists the help of a few good friends for the funeral home remodel after Louise points out that Dan's generosity with his time seems to benefit everyone but her; and Robin and Darlene take a big career risk that may not pay off the way they expect it. http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/20220329abc02/

Ah thanks for that I must have missed that in the article.

Yes I loved him on there too so yeah I think it’s gonna be a great series. I wish we got an air date for it, but at least we know what his character’s name is though.

I loved this episode. Man did I miss Louise (and Dan & Louise together) so glad she was practically in this whole episode. ♥️ First off I was very surprised when it was mentioned that both Darlene and Becky were moving out honestly I never thought they would. I don't blame them for not wanting to live in a funeral home it's pretty creepy in itself, but that aside the house was pretty nice despite that. I loved it when the Don came over the house and Louise chimed in that she was Dan's wife and taking care of him by making him eat healthy (I know it wasn't in exactly those words, but I still loved the whole scene) Aww Louise read Beverly Rose the story of Charlotte's Web (with her own little spin on it) now that's the only thing I was disappointed with in the episode - that we didn't get to see the scene of them together, but at least it was implied, but still it would have nice to see the play out on screen. I liked that Ben offered to help Jackie out with the lunchbox and update her computers for her so it would make her job at the lunchbox a little easier and also be her sounding board too if she needed it. As someone else mentioned Becky has every right to have her own life and go back to school and all, but I felt for Jackie being overwhelmed, but hopefully she won't have to sell the lunchbox and it'll all work out. I loved Louise's idea about Dan building Becky and Darlene a new house for them on that property, but I also saw Dan's side of it too, why couldn't they just redo it with paint and stuff? but then again it'd still be a funeral home type of house...so I don't know. I admit there's probably going be some issues with Louise's solution, Don might not go along with their plan, but I hope they can all come to a compromise that works out and of course the other issue is probably going to be Dan having to do the building all himself, but I hope not as Louise and some of Dan's friends and maybe even some of his construction guys can hopefully help him. I really want this storyline to work out for everyone - including Dan & Louise so they can finally have the house to themselves and celebrate being newlyweds for real - alone.

I can't wait for Jimmy's new series! I'll definitely watch it as it seems interesting and it's a drama which I love. https://deadline.com/2022/03/jimmy-smits-star-east-new-york-cbs-drama-pilot-1234984630/

I can’t wait for this one! ❤️ Louise is back once again yay! I’ve missed her.

4x16: Gas Pump, House Dump and Stew Volcano Press Release As Darlene searches for a home that she and Becky can afford, ol' Don Blanksy returns with an offer they can't resist, no matter how spooky. Then, after an attempt to boost business at The Lunch Box goes awry, Jackie finds herself apologizing to Ben and rethinking her future running the place. 4x16 Press Release Promo:

Yes she did for sure!! I loved that she had the connection to county I thought it was a great move by the writers to do that with her character as Kerry didn't have that at all and by the time Heal Thyself aired all of what happened before started to make sense with Banfield especially Haleh mentioning that she looked familiar to her which I was confused by at first(as I'm sure others were too) about until that episode as Haleh was there with Banfield in the trauma room with her son.

I still loved Banfield even though we only got her for a season I must admit it did take me a bit to get used to her character because in my opinion she was worse than Kerry was on her first day (at least to me) and that's saying something, but I did end up loving Banfield anyway, and at the same time I get what you're saying too about that because I would loved having her as soon as Kerry left that would have been the perfect time to bring her in and I don't know why that wasn't thought of before.

I don't know where she was, but I seriously thought she'd be in these episodes(at least this one and few others) because she is back fully now, but with Katey's accident I guess her being in more than half of the episodes is now up the air sadly as the writers mentioned that piece of information before the accident happened. LOL this is a funny explanation and I could see that!

4x15: Messy Situation, Miscommunication and Academic Probation Press release When Becky inadvertently outs her relationship with Professor Davis, he's forced to reevaluate his career, but his erratic behavior sends Becky down a path to reevaluate their relationship. Meanwhile, Dan and Darlene check in on Chuck, only to learn heartbreaking news about his family. 4x15 Press Release

I'm wondering that myself, it's weird.

Of course I love her and Dan as well and Louise knows she can do better, as she told him this, but loves Dan anyway so I don't understand why that's a problem for some. I love that she loves Dan no matter what.

Husband & wife are finally together again...♥️

Personally speaking I love Louise and don't care what anyone says, I always will.

The Conners Showrunner On Bringing Katey Sagal's Louise Back During Such A Tragic Episode

I hate the feeling of being unmotivated and stuck on a chapter at the same time...ugh 😢

Yes I remember the bathroom connected to Becky and Darlene's room back in the original. From what I can recall I don't think it had a shower that I saw or remember.

Hey everyone - how is your writing going?

They do have a few new ones this season, but I don't know how many though.

I too thought there was another bathroom too I think it's in Dan & Louise's bedroom so that was kind of weird. As for Beverly Rose it looked like the same girl to me and as for Louise and the waterbed now that I think about yes it was joke I just couldn't tell at first, but you're right... I wonder what they are gonna do with the bedroom now I think they'll end up actually going together and getting new things like the bed and stuff.
