Well this is the last year and several characters will be exiting every chapter.

LOL That's how I feel about Melrose Place now.

Unfortunatly the time is coming. Espcially since I'm moving soon and trying to focus more on school. Putting out over a hundred episodes a year is tough. But there is no other way I can properly tell the story of FTL. But I promise a powerful ending.

But this will be the fourth season so to speak, and starting with episode 1 and ending with episode like 102 maybe. So I have a year worth of stories left to tell don't worry too much

5 chapters starting with Tumbling Down. It takes place from the beginning of 2012 to the end of February (the Annual Masquerade ball will end the chapter).

Hmm everybody has something going on but it's all working towards limiting the number of stories by combining storylines. They all sort of tie together in one way or another.

Such as the Annie vs Dinah and the take over at Lewis are connected through Annie's wrath.

Annie is going down and taking everyone with her.

I think the reality show can give Liz some of the that classic spoiled girl stuff that people love about her. A little fun since she's had a rough year but crazy stuff is coming her way.

Spencer has given me so much to write with. Cutting herself, burning herself, drug use, pass out games, all a part of her exterior.

Robbie and Jude have been on the back burner but not for long. Sort of a rotation of teens. Leah and James are on the back burner for now.

Can't wait to hear what you think of 102!!! I had so much fun writing it!

It's hard to cut people out of holiday episodes because then you have to explain why someone wasn't with their family on the holiday.

The holiday episodes are more of getting back to the family roots of the show.

But yes everything always goes back to the drama and the New Years Eve episodes are crazy.

With Kevin's story could easily be written as a soap cliche of an unexplained turn to villian. But this is going to be a big story about what is really going on with Kevin.

I love writing Spencer's scene. She is such a complex character and has so many layers to her.

LOL I wish I had known that. I have been planning this story for Liz for quite some time. But the reality show is more of a plot point to the bigger story of course.

Edmund is furious with Marah on one level but now he has control over her.

Yep Dalton is pushing Ashlee to give up her dieting, he isn't aware of how bad her disorder was in the past.

Belinda has so much crazy stuff coming up this year.

Rocky and Kevin are on shaky ground right now.

Thank you for commenting

Damn pretty hot scene between Bryan and Natalia

Oh damn poor Lauren. Though I guess she shoudln't be surprised at the outcome of her actions.

Not as many storylines going on at once but I like it. It's easier to keep up with all the drama.

Good two part episode.

Every episodes always leaves you wanting the next one to be posted soon.

A much shorter episode but still good.

I notice you broke it up into two parts.

About to read the next one.

I've changed it, it's readable now lol.

Yes I'm so excited to start putting up episodes. The first one will be posted by the end of the month. It'll be a short second season with about 10 episodes that will be posted over the summer. But by the fall (if all goes well) then I will be doing maybe 20-24 episodes for season three from the fall of 2011 to spring of 2012.

LOL I agree. It actually looked different on the computer I was at earlier. I'm changing it soon.

I loved reading all of this. Kinda sad how a lot of the SON series are coming to an end soon

Crazy how it's all happening around the same time.

Thanks for the little shout out. STEAM was not only fun to read but like all the shows I read/watch I learned from it. I especially learned how to write a series that people can get into whether they started at the beginning or not.

STEAM always had stories that caught your attention. And even when it was awesomely dramatic the dialogue was very real and wasn't pretnetious or glamorized and I loved that.

Just like with PP I'm so sad to see this story end but can't wait to see how it does!

Never mouth off to Ria! Damn! Great opening scene.

Oh [!@#$%^&*] things don't look good for Sister Patterson.

I'm loving all the scenes of the reactions to Lauren being alive.

It's really interesting how Ria is given this story. She's so tough but battling something so HUGE.

Aww I love that you used "Rue"!!!

Wow great ending!!

These stories are becoming easy to follow.

Can't wait for what comes next!

And yeah Belinda is a parent's worst nightmare.

Spencer is such a fun character to write for. We have a lot of interesting stuff coming up with her.

Yep Amanda has set her eyes on another taken man.

I love writing Kevin's story. And it's only going to get bigger.

So glad you enjoyed this!

So glad you enjoyed it. This is basically the beginning of the end sorta. These are the final 6 episodes of Season 3. The finale takes place on New Years Eve. Then I'll begin posting the Season 4 episodes along with HUGE ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Thanks for the comments!

Yes this is the first time we meet Gavin. However he will be in at least one more episode. Kind of a big deal but I'm not telling

I think the readers and the characters needed to know that Mel and Rick care about their marriage.

Phillip and Beth have finally realized how to work as a couple. But they still live in Springfield and have a whole family waiting back home filled with drama lol

I originally had a lot of ideas for episodes where they left Springfield. However I felt that a huge part of FTL was that it WAS Springfield. Then I had an idea for a movie (Won't reveal it because I haven't written it yet). But it just didn't seem like what GUIDING LIGHT Movie should be. So I ended up planning 4 different movies. This is the second of course.

I don't think Movies fit into all shows. But I do think if it does that it's an option to be explored.

So glad you liked it. It was my favorite scene to write when Mel was standing up to Mindy.

I love how with a Movie SOOO much can happen. I love telling stories over episodes but for this, IDK it just was an awesome way to make things happen.

I'm so glad you liked it!!!

At first I thought the movies would be hard to write but if anything they make things clearer. I knew I had to pay tribute to classic Guiding Light. And the story just fit so perfectly.

Lol you see a lot of celebrities with adopted babies of other races. But Liz actually has a son of another race that is biologically hers and Remy's.

Ooh! Good way to get me even more excited for the next one!!!

The opening scene seemed more fun than the usual opening scenes. But it was still good and I like the friendship between Ria nad Natalia.

Ooh can't wait to see where this story goes with Sister Pat.

WOW good ending!!! Can't wait to see what happens next with Lauren.

Already excited for the next one lol. That's what happens when you read a bunch in a row and then realize you have to wait again.

The episodes are shorter, but they are easier to follow. Another good cliffhanger.

Very good opening scene as usual.

I feel like this story is going to give good character development to Sister Pat.

Lauren story has me sucked in waiting to see what happens with her.

Oooh!! Good cliffhanger!

This seemed like a much shorter episode than usual. But I'm still anxious to see what happens next, as usual.

Yeah for some reason a SMALL percentage of photobucket accounts were messed up for a day. Mine was one of them. But all is better now and you can see a bald and shaved Robert Newman as Josh. (I AM SO LUCKY THAT ROBERT NEWMAN HAD A ROLE WHERE HE DID THAT IN REAL LIFE RECENTLY!!!)

Last spring there was a huge story revolved around Remy's death. I think I explained it in the comments on episode 94.

These episodes are sort of transition episodes. This is wrapping up the fall storylines. Plus the Movie is next.

Kevin has been having a bit of a violent street and his roommates are worried.

After the movie new stories will start and it will be easier to follow I think.
