So, I was checking tumblr to see if there's anything about Joel. Well, I didn't find anything, but I did come across one blog that had SV images of Erica, but photoshopped to make her hair red. It looked like a RP blog, where Erica was supposed to be Jean Grey. I must admit the manips were very good and it made me wonder how she actually looks for Veiled Threats. So, I went to twitter and IMBD and other sites to find more about Carnegie Kincaid. Well, here's a description I found in Amazon: When struggling wedding consultant Carnegie Kincaid finally lands the society wedding of Nickie Parry, daughter of the very wealthy Douglas Parry, who is embroiled in a savings and loan fraud scandal, she thinks things are looking up, but then the disasters begin. At a wedding reception, Carnegie mistakes Holt Walker, a hunky wedding guest who just happens to be Douglas' attorney and close friend, for a waiter and chastises him for his inappropriate attire. Then a drunken bridesmaid takes the bride's car and dies in a crash. Conflicts arise over the wedding gown and expenses, and sleazy tabloid reporter Aaron Gold makes it all worse. As a romance heats up between Carnegie and Holt, Carnegie is shocked that a kiss stolen by Aaron can elicit such heat, but when the bride is kidnapped, things really get dicey.So, looks like there's two love interests for CK - Holt and Aaron. Well, this guy plays Holt and he seemed to mention Erica in his tweets a few times: www.imdb.com/name/nm0066447/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t23And this guy plays Aaron: www.imdb.com/name/nm1027286/?ref_=tt_cl_t2Well, I've to admit both these actors looks good. In fact, from the tweets and the images of actors, Veiled Threats seem to have a pretty good-looking cast. And the description of the book is pretty interesting too. Well, if this ensemble cast can act properly, the PTB can direct properly and Erica has chemistry with these actors, I hope then they will continue to make all the movies. From what I found, the CK series has 6 books. www.fictiondb.com/author/deborah-donnelly~series~carnegie-kincaid~2913.htmAs you girls can see, I'm already more interested in Veiled Threats than in SH

VT sounds like it could be a really good movie. I like the description a lot. And more importantly it seems like it will be all focused on Erica's character, which makes me happy. I want to see her as a red head and I wish someone would leak a pic of her. And truthfully this storyline could have made a decent TV show. Also the two guys in this movie are like models, they are really good-looking men. I just hope they can act as well. And yes, if all goes well then I think making the other movies would be nice As for SH. They can't lose DG, they just can't. Blah, this show is making me crazy. Yes I know , we have been over this a million times. But since ED will still be on this show, I have to have DG there so I can watch. Ahhh...well tomorrow is the season finale so yeah. :/

Being honest, I've no expectation from SH. I'll actually be surprised if DG does come back for s3 and there's actually any Jalex development. I remember you guys discussing that there won't be any s4, so if s3 is the last, I feel like PTB will be all about how Chalex are meant to be . So, yeah, I've got my hopes pinned on VT, lol. I do hope it'll bring more exposure, and consequently more work for ED, in the US since VT will be shown in the Hallmark channel .

I remember you guys discussing that there won't be any s4, so if s3 is the last, I feel like PTB will be all about how Chalex are meant to be . I have mixed feelings about SH. And well I don't know if there will be a S4 or not, that was just a rumor. But you hit a very good point. If S3 is the last, I agree it will be all about gross Charlex. That's what makes me most happy, is that it will be shown in the US. And maybe ED can start doing more projects here in the US. Look what I found hehe.. Brandon Beemer @brandonbeemer My awesome cast mates & I on our last day of shooting #VeiledThreats Good peeps! @awalk35 @ed_DURANCE @chelanlsimmons

Well, I hope it's just a BTS when the stars, at least ED, wasn't ready to shoot yet or had shot already so changed to her normal style. 'Cause the hair doesn't look that red, but what really disappoints me is that ED looks exactly like she does in SH - just too plain . Also, I read the review of SH finale, as I usually do after every episode. And nope, nothing too interesting IMO. Just more useless drama to drag SH and Chalex, I think.

Well Joel will be back lol, but the set-up for next season sounds boring as hell. Gosh the ending for the finale was stupid. So pointless to do that to Alex. Nothing will happen to her, she will come back to life. But, yes I know it was all done for charlex. With jalex, umm idk. I think they will stall on them. whatever. That VT pic, gosh I do hope that was before or after they shot. I agree ED looks just like Alex, its bad. But it looks like she is wearing a coat, cause the other blonde girl is like dressed up. So maybe ED was cold. And her hair does look a little red, its probably how the pic was taken, we can't see it well.

I like ED's red hair. I hope that VT is worth watching. Maybe I'll read the book.

Thanks for the pic! I thought her hair would be redder but she looks fine imo.
About SH, I didn't watch the season finale but I'm glad to hear that Joel he's still alive... It's weird but in one hand I want him back next season but in the other hand I don't. I really like Joel but it looks like the s3 will be all about Chalex and how they are meant to be, and without DG I'll have no reason to watch the show anymore (or rather start it again).
Also, I don't understand why some people are worried about Alex, like Liz said nothing will happen to her. There's no SH without ED.

I wanted Joel back so they could do some more Jalex but if there not going too, then there is no point of having Joel there. As it stands now with the current events, it looks like the S3 is going to be like S1. I would be shocked now if they did some Jalex in S3. I mean PTB would have to pull something out of their u know what. And Lyssa, I was wrong about the jalex scene being 10 secs, it was more like 5 secs. Seriously, If you blinked you would miss it. Also now we know that the ctv finale trailer was just a gimmick to get people to watch..... jerks.

Tricia, I looked at the local bookstores here and they don't have this particular series. I'm guessing it was not too popular; maybe I'll try and get it from Amazon. I had also hoped that ED's hair would be redder, Lyssa. Maybe it's the lighting - the picture is indoors and doesn't look too bright. And whoever took the pic was not as tall as ED, so the angle wasn't a good one to capture the hair color. Just 5 secs, Liz? Good thing I didn't watch this episode. I guess after the fans got excited about the Jalex kiss, the PTB decided to mislead us so that more viewers would tune in. After all, they had already shot the finale a long time ago. Question is, what are they gonna do now? Like the Jalex kiss, the finale was shot a long time ago; and it seems to imply that maybe now because of the circumstances she is in, Alex will understand Charlie better when she comes back to life and they will live happily ever after. But all of these were before the PTB was aware how much fans were happy to see Jalex kiss with mutual consent. So, will the PTB focus on Chalex, as seems obvious from the finale, or will they do a 180 and Alex would take the whole experience in a way where she would feel safer and better to be away from Charlie? As you guys had discussed before, I do think Alex should spend some time being single, like maybe the first half of s3. And realize that ever since she and Charlie decided to get married, all they had faced was bad luck. I want Jalex to be endgame, of course. But I'd still like it a lot better if Alex ended up alone rather than rehash the Chalex again and again .

I always knew that Charlie and Alex were endgame but killing Jalex before it even began is well, stupid? What was the point of the Jalex kiss? Why even waste episodes developping Joel/Alex if it's to end the season on a chalex love-fest? I just don't understand the writers logic. I still didn't watch the episode (and I don't think I will) but by looking at twitter/tumblr a lot of jalex fans seem disappointed and angry. What makes me laugh is seeing TPTB trying to backtrack now with that TVguide article saying how Joel has still a chance with Alex (yeah riiiiight, how is it even possible after that finale? lol). They are so transparent. Maybe the writers didn't realize how popular Jalex was until now? (and probably too late). Tumblr is all about Jalex but on twitter I'm not sure, anyone knows if there are more Chalex fans on Twitter than Jalex? I think you're right, it's probably the lighting because I saw a bigger version of this pic and one can tell her hair looks lighter and redder.

Just 5 secs, Liz? Good thing I didn't watch this episode. I guess after the fans got excited about the Jalex kiss, the PTB decided to mislead us so that more viewers would tune in. After all, they had already shot the finale a long time ago. Yup. And i think PTB has a pretty good idea of the popularity of jalex now. It's the only reason they would promote the finale like that. Like u said, they already shot the finale a while ago. I must admit that the writers surprise me. I always knew that Charlie and Alex were endgame but killing Jalex before it even began is well, stupid? What was the point of the Jalex kiss? Why even waste episodes developping Joel/Alex if it's to end the season on a chalex love-fest? I just don't understand the writers logic.

They are so transparent.
Maybe the writers didn't realize how popular Jalex was until now? (and probably too late). Tumblr is all about Jalex but on twitter I'm not sure, anyone knows if there are more Chalex fans on Twitter than Jalex? Yeah the TV guide article that just came out. Here it is--> link
Basically the writers are trying to clean up what they did. So since the S2 finale was suppose to be the end, obviously they will end it with charlex. We all know that would happen. But now since they have another season, they have to "fix" it. And with that TV guide article, a couple things bothered me. First they said,"The love triangle is central to the show" Umm what? Its so central that they just started it in the middle of S2. All jalex got was a kiss. Plus Joel and Alex didn't even talk about it afterwards. And they also said, "the relationship between Charlie and Alex, and the triangle with Joel is almost their bread and butter—and that Season 3 will stick with that." I have no freaking clue how they will keep Joel in the triangle, but I can assure it will be random with no continuity what so ever. Oh but the worst is this "Brebner teases “the ghosts won’t be going anywhere” but that anything–Alex taking over for Charlie or ending up in a coma the way he did in Season 1–is a possibility." Oh boy.... Now how the heck are they suppose to do jalex with that storyline. It would be all about charlex, cause he would be the only one that would be able to interact with her. It would be stupid if they do this. That being said, I could see them doing this. Overall i think the writers have to know that jalex is getting popular. Its has to be clear to them now, or else they wouldn't have made that finale trailer like that, and they wouldn't have bs their way in that TV guide article. Whether they like it is another story, they are putting so much into charlex, trying to force this couple on. But I think they will have to accept that Jalex is hot and the fanbase is growing. And well I don't know that many charlex fans, but i heard they are all on facebook apparently.

Nat, I saw that Amazon has Veiled Threats. I might have to purchase it. We'll see. The SH PTB need a good slap like this one: #ncis #gibbs #gibbs slap credit to:more-guidelines-than-rules Attachments:

That interview was total BS, Liz - I mean all these talk about love triangles and blah, blah, blah. Huh, if the SH s2 finale was written even before s3 was picked up, then it was obvious that Chalex was supposed to be the endgame. Yes, so they did write the Jalex kiss, but it was less of a love triangle, and more of making use of DG. Because Alex might have kissed Joel back, but then in the next episode, it was like nothing really happened. Dunno why Alex even bothered to kiss Joel back, because it didn't look like the kiss made any difference and Alex was all about pining for Charlie soon after. Which brings me to Lyssa's question: yep, what was the point of the Jalex kiss? Honestly, I feel like the writers are keeping DG around for his star power, but not really interested in Joel as a character or Jalex as a couple. Maybe DG should push for more screen time and importance in the lead relationships. Otherwise, I really don't see why DG should put up with this show, 'cause looks like he will get blamed for what happened to Alex .
