SGU Casting ,News and Tidbits (Spoilers S1 & 2)

[Coronach]

As to the twitter reference about 'teen drama,' after making an inquiry (which basically, is probably spoilers), yes, it does sound like teen drama.

Eh, I guess I just don't see it this way at the moment. I mean, looking at the scene in question:

Spoiler:

Sure it may come across as "Boo hoo, all of my friends weren't really my friends at all." However, the fact is that people use eachother, and something like this happening is definitely not a teen-only occurrence.

I mean, I think anyone of any age group would feel hurt in some way if they found out their friends really didn't like them, and given Chloe's situation (e.g. her father having died recently), I don't blame her in the slightest for even a mildly-melodramatic reaction, which I still don't think the writers would do.

So I guess if having your feelings hurt qualifies as "teen drama", then I'd agree with the actress who made the comment and say that it is. I said it in my last post, but I think context means a lot, and that's not necessarily something a guest star may have cared to learn, especially if they don't want to be there in the first place.

Disclaimer: I don't claim to know more about the show than a guest star who's actually been on set. I guess I'm just remaining optimistic.

i agree with you.and if feeling sad and realizing your friends dont actually like is a teen drama thing...then everything in life is a teen drama thing.friends are an important factor in life and i dont care wat age...when they turn out to be fake or betray you...it will frelling hurt you.

I'm not reading the spoilers, which are based on incomplete sides and definitely subject to interpretation often times they are drafts. I'll just wait until, gee, probably next year before the episode in question airs...
