New fan here

So the past few weeks I have been utterly addicted to this show. I decided to check it out on a whim and because I needed a break from all my superhero and sci if shows. It was some easy to fall in love with the characters. I've missed having a heartwarming and family oriented show. It's been amazing watching all the characters grow and learn. It really sucks you in and almost makes you feel like you're there with them. Hell even though I find Tim annoying half the time I actually appreciate his character because I feel like they stay true to who he his. Plus I knew a few men growing up like that. He feels real.

I'm not finished with the series yet. Right now I'm struggling through this ridiculous prince stroy line. This is probably the only time through the whole series as I've been watching that I've ever been annoyed with a story line and Amy. I'm hoping it ends soon enough. I've already watched the Amy and Ty wedding on YouTube so it sort of helps me get through this stroy line. Lol.

I see Lou get some flack on this board but she's actually a favorite character of mine because she always seems to mean well. I do wish they'd loose her up a bit though and i fight eventually she'll get there.

I love Jack and Lisa and really wish we could see more Lisa strorylines. Or at least let her get one Lisa centric story a season.

Lisa is a beautiful woman although I think part of it is because she's gone through plastic surgeries to keep that young look alive or maybe it's just a lot of make up. Either way, she's pretty darn gorgeous.

I do have to say that I miss **Season 7 Spoiler** Mallory because she used to be part of the show's original cast and after Season 7 she left permanently. 

I'd love to see Mallory and Jake come back to Hudson at the end of the series together. I always route for those two even though Mallory was horrible to him. I always loved Mallory but they did kind of take her charm away in S6 and S7 a bit to me. She was more whinny then usual and it took away from her fun to the point comments.

I'd also love to see Ashley come back for an episode. I wasn't the biggest Ashley/Caleb fan (though after some confusion because I was on S8 and hadn't watched the Christmas Special) but I did enjoy there moments in the Christmas movie and made me like them more. Then we had Val give Caleb her stamp of approval a few years to late at the Amy/Ty wedding... I feel like we need to see Ashley again just for closure.

Also was I the only person that kind of wanted Caleb and Soraya to happen? She made it clear she didn't see Caleb that way but ever since then I've wanted those two together. Lol.

For some reason I always hoped Caleb and Amy would connect but that never happened. Speaking of Soraya, she's another one that has left the show but came back (Mallory didn't for that special cameo Soraya did).

Actually, Amy did date Caleb for a while in season 2 (or was that season 3?)...but they broke up when Caleb started to fall in love with Ashley. Honestly I was never that fond of Caleb's relationships with both Amy and Ashley, so I'm glad he broke up with both of them eventually. I actually quite liked the idea of Caleb with Soraya, I thought Soraya would've been a good choice for Caleb...but clearly the writers didn't run with it. If I remember correctly, Soraya fell in love with this guy who lives in London and so she decided to move there to be with him...as far as I can recall, she's still with that London guy.

I'm still not a fan of Caleb & Cassandra...I don't think I've ever truly liked any of Caleb's romantic relationships to be honest. Except maybe his "relationships" (or rather 'friendships') with Lou and Soraya...but since he never actually dated either of them, I guess they don't count.

[–] cmtaylor531 9 years ago

I wasn't a huge fan of Caleb and Ashley but I loved Ashley's character growth. Val and Ashley's dynamic on the show was always fun to watch. At times I still feel like the show could use that dynamic again. I'm not sure if they are trying to recreate it with Georgie's nemesis whose name I can't remember and possibly her step mom. Anyway, back on point. While I didn't love Ashley and Caleb because I don't liked rushed relationships. They did start to grow on me. Then ofcourse just when I started to like them they sort of made Ashley I likable again by having her pretty much ditch Caleb on the honeymoon.

[–] Philip_90 9 years ago

That was a long time ago so it explains why I don't remember that but during one of the recent seasons Tim asked Amy if she dated Caleb and then she said something like a straight no.

[–] ScrystaLz 9 years ago

I think Amy was just in denial about that...but considering how her relationship with Caleb ended, I don't blame her...they broke up around the same time that Caleb started to fall in love with Ashley. If I broke up with my boyfriend because he was starting to fall for another girl, I would probably do the same thing and just deny I ever had a relationship with him to begin with, it's easier that way. And you know how nosy and protective Tim can be, Amy probably didn't want to complicate things so she just outright denied her past relationship with Caleb.

I meant for this to be a new topic. What am I doing wrong?

[–] PatsFan227 9 years ago

I chose this thread so I could choose new topic, which I did. I typed a topic then pasted the list into the text of the message and both times it appeared as a reply.

What gives?

[–] PatsFan227 9 years ago

Got it! Sorry for cluttering up this post.

My bad.

[–] lilyaust 9 years ago

New fan too. Only up to s5 and don't particularly like the Amy character but love most of the others.

[–] Philip_90 9 years ago

Huh, she's my fave of all. And then Jack.

[–] cmtaylor531 9 years ago

Jacks my absolute favorite as well followed by Amy and then perhaps Caleb and Ty.
