looptab February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 (edited) Wait, people were asking SA to talk to him? Edited February 20, 2016 by looptab Link to comment
bijoux February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 Oh, there was something ridiculous like he should take him on. Modern day version of High Noon or some such. Link to comment
looptab February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 CG has also written that Amell had mentioned this on FB..does anybody have the link to this post/comment? Link to comment

Morrigan2575 February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 I think SA brought it up first at DCC. Something about writing posts to CG and deleting them (mostly related to spoilers, IMO). I think the fans just kept following up on his statement and then added to it. Personally I think they were stupid and should have just ignored it. I hate when fans try to involve actors or producers in fandom shit. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about it since it happens in every fandom. 6 Link to comment
Chaser February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 I find this amusing. Some guy who hates Olicity tweeted a photo of their first kiss and said he would get it tatted with 5k retweets. A couple hours after he tweeted it there was only like 100. I saw it again this morning and it's around 2600. SA retweeted it. Link to comment

I saw the retweets but it seemed like a less than wise life choice, so I didn't want to encourage him. The background makes me rethink that attitude. SA retweeting it is super funny. Link to comment
Morrigan2575 February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 Some idiot is going to get a tattoo of something he hates if he gets 5k retweets? Please post link, I will retweet just for shits and giggles. Link to comment

Chaser February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 Now I need everyone to send this guy recommendations for tattoo artists and Olicity fan arts of the scene for suggestions. Maybe he would like a warm watercolor or perhaps a delicate black and white stencil. :-) 2 Link to comment
Lady Calypso February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 I'm dying at that. I really hope this guy goes through with it. It would show him as a good sport, at the very least, and he got acknowledged by Stephen! That's pretty cool. I bet that is not what this guy had in mind when he posted that tweet. This goes to show that joke tweets sometimes will backfire. Link to comment
Midnight Lullaby February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 The guy said he is going to do it but he implied he is going to add an offensive quote to the pic. Does he realize it's his body and tattoos are permanent? LOL, people.... 4 Link to comment

bijoux February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 kismet, that's sort of mean, yet accurate. I applaud you. 1 Link to comment
kismet February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 I wasn't trying to mean... sometimes people use their art (in this case his storytelling) to work through issues. I have no idea why he seems so obsessed with surprise kids & parenthood, but they literally show up in like every show I've seen him involved in. So now that he has that in his real life perhaps he won't need to scratch that artistic itch. I'm sincerely happy for him and wish him all the best. Having children is a really special thing, so I am happy for anyone who is able to make that dream happen. 2 Link to comment
HighHopes February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 Congratulations to him and his family!! Hopefully this will curtail his desire to have surprise kids/parenthood show up on everyone of his shows. Unfortunately (as I just learned in my celebrity culture class) when male celebrities become fathers in real life, their on screen roles often then reflect their new fatherhood role. I also blame this trend for Oliver getting a surprise kid since Amell's kid was born during season two when we first learned about Samantha. So we may be in for even more kids on his shows... 2 Link to comment

Maybe, when it happens on his other shows, he'll be able to steer the storylines in the right direction...not that I blame this Baby Mama stuff on him fully. He has a partial hand in it, but most of it still falls on MG's shoulders. 1 Link to comment

I don't have an automatic cringe response to surprise kids & parenthood. It's not the kids on the shows that bother me. It's when they mess up the story in the way they are with William. Kids on shows can be a good thing. For example on Nashville, the kids were not a problem for the majority of the show until this past season when they felt the need to bring the drama to the kids. Now we have to deal with teen & pre-teen drama. It's drama overload and took away all the cuteness & depth the kids brought to the show. Even surprise parenthood/sibling can be good plots per Berlanti's history. For example, in Brothers & Sisters, casting & writing for Rebecca was really good and drove many seasons of plot & characterization. It even had the bonus of having her go through 2 surprise paternity plots. It was compelling TV. Then they brought in the random surprise son (i forgot his name) and then it was badly written drama. Then in the final season, when they ran out of plots they even tried to redo the paternity drama with one of the main children. There are only so many ways you can tap into that pool before it becomes poorly written drama. I don't dislike SA's desire to show OQ as a father, especially with a random kid that could be brought in and taken away (esp since it's way too soon to have an Olicity baby). So I think his idea of having this random son in CC was smart. I imagine the story he pitched is far better than whatever the writers decided to do with it. He just forgot that with these showrunners he wasn't going to get a parenthood/fatherhood story. Unfortunately, he was gonna get a for PLOT & DRAMA plot. So it's not the surprise kid that is the problem, its how they are using him. I would have been on board for an OQ as a father, but that is not what we are getting & not what they are writing. 4 Link to comment
apinknightmare February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 I'm confused. I thought the EPs always planned on bringing Samantha and son back into the picture, and SA just suggested the meeting with Samantha at Jitters in S3? 1 Link to comment

Oh I'm sure they always planned on bringing in Samantha, I just found the information about celebrity dads/their on screen roles interesting. I think it was Amell who suggested the initial meeting, and it was also him who seemed the most excited about the storyline happening- probably (like we all thought) because he was a new father and was excited about the idea of playing a father on the show too. 2 Link to comment
