Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'm not comparing the characters themselves, just explaining how the B&B writers dealt with the actress' death. It worked for the most part, and now they've introduced her sexy young niece as a new character in her namesake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 And they did all this the episode after the actress had died right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Well, Conley was being gradually weened off the show during her last four years due to an injury. Her final appearance on the show wasn't all that noteworthy, she was just attending a courtroom session in a trial against Taylor, who ran her daughter Darla over when she was drunk. And finally Conley died a few months after that appearance. Although they didn't kill off her character, they barely mentioned her again, aside from asking "Have you heard from Sally, lately?" then Eric might say "Oh I'm sure she's lapping it up on a beach somewhere".

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Well using B&B as a template, release TLJ unaltered, and if Leia survives that story, just make the characters acknowledge that she's still alive elsewhere. And if necessary, hire an actress to stand in as a shemp Leia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 On JWFan we have both discussions and debates, JohnSolo. The trick is to know which one you are in. Any way I bear you no ill will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 2,032 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I personally prefer to know beforehand whether I'm about to get into a discussion or debate, but I'll try not to get into the latter next time I share my opinion.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 All joking aside, JWFan is not a forum where those distinctions are easily made. Gentle discussions can become heated arguments and go back again quite easily. Topics can completely shift within a few posts and a thread that was about Episode 9 can suddenly be about...I dunno. Forum etiquette? You just gotta go with the flow and use your judgement whether someone is being serious, sarcastic, or a bit of a dick. I freely admit to being all three. Often within a single post. This is a now quite old, niche forum where a lot of people know each other for quite a few years. On and off the forum. So they know each others writing styles, tropes and call backs. I understand that for a newbie that can be confusing. Will and stewdog1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
