Members Mr. Brightside Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Will/Gwen/Maddie/Jade...what about Casey? Adam? I guess those guys are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kelly1142 Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 What stands out to me is who is NOT included on that list. No Casey? No Adam? And I guess Ali won't really be involved with the teens, which I suppose makes sense considering her new profession. And no Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members winterguy125 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Also of course Luke is missing, I was hoping he would be involved in the summer storyline this year, but I guess not, unless they have something else planned for him. The storyline sounds interesting though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SteveFrame Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 I bet the rumors that Roerig is planning to leave are going to be true. I sure hate to lose him. I bet he gets shipped off for awhile. I hate to see another recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Another story for Will/Gwen! These two have been turned into the centerpiece of ATWT and thats ridiculous! The show is loaded up with these teens in neverending stories. Why not use this stuff for the vets? I'm beyond tired of all these teens, sans Luke. Speaking of Luke, he wins them a Writers Guild Award, lots of critical attention and praise, yet he gets nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just because Luke is gay, he can't be in stories with other people is own age? They've isolated the kid. At least last summer he was able to go to Raven Lake. But seriously, I had no idea gay people were excluded from all the straight kid storylines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Walsh Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 I don't understand this. Isn't Branson where a lot of senior citizens visit?? (At least that's how it was portrayed on The Simpsons) So why are they sending a few teens over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Because it is a Mini-Vegas (not casion wise but with all it's music shows and theaters) and many up and coming stars play there as well as many stars who are past their prime. It is just a good showcase for young talent, but yes a lot of older people go there but so do a lot of families with their youngsters in tow.

Members MatinèeGirl Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 As if we didn't suffer enough throughout that College Tour thing and that had Hunt Block and Ben Hendrickson in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WillenFan21 Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Luke was never involved in the music storyline before so why would he be involved in it now? My guess is they have another storyline planned for him becaucse I read something on a website(as a matter of fact I read cuz WG posted here) that Luke would be getting a boyfriend in the srping so thats most likely why hes not included.
