I was never interested in the premise of this show but I'm pretty sure I could never watch it because it has April from Gilmore Girls in it and I hated her.

I thought the same thing, but Vanessa Marano was Hope West on Scoundrels (which I watched for Patrick Flueger) and her character was badass enough that I'm now able to overlook her Gilmore Girls days.

I can't watch Switched at Birth, though, because the writing is awful. And I say this as someone who watches Pretty Little Liars, so my tolerance for stupid shit is actually quite high.

at first all I could focus on was that she was April and it didn't help that her character on Switched At Birth was annoying as fuck too but the character has gotten a lot better imo

Yeah, I sorta hated Bay at first and now she's hands-down my fav.
ludagurl3d 19th-Jan-2013 07:16 pm (UTC)
Bay is the best character on this show though, shockingly, because at first I hated her. But she's by far the most sympathetic, IMO (to a degree).
ride_the_jitney 19th-Jan-2013 07:25 pm (UTC)
ia. I hated her for the first half of season one and now I mostly like her
firetears_x 20th-Jan-2013 01:06 am (UTC)
She really is sympathetic. Especially since someone's putting her down in almost every single episode.
bombfrostings 19th-Jan-2013 08:32 pm (UTC)
That's how I felt at first but now I forget she was April and Bay is the only reason I continue to watch tbh.

Same here. And it's not the poor girl's fault (well, it partially is, but she didn't write the lines or the character) but I just can't deal with her. She was on an episode of Parenthood in one of the earlier seasons where she actually was hanging out with Lauren Graham's character's son and I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, get away from this show NOW! She left at least.

lol, I JUST watched that Parenthood episode this morning. I did a double take when I heard Marano's voice.

I never understand why they think story lines such as these are believable.

Forcing teenagers into group therapy is a risky enough maneuver unlikely to yield any tangible results on its own, but making them suffer this bullshit it IN THE WOODS is pure madness.

Emmett's belly was really distracting last episode.

The new guy is cute.

His belly? What do you mean? I didn't notice anything
pettyscenes 19th-Jan-2013 08:03 pm (UTC)
lol i noticed it too but i wouldn't say it was distracting
rissaroo 19th-Jan-2013 08:08 pm (UTC)
lol i don't get that kid.

he posted a picture on his twitter of him and his gf at the beach in like august and he's so fucking skinny. they only started filming like a month later.
gogeta1 19th-Jan-2013 08:12 pm (UTC)

skonka 19th-Jan-2013 08:32 pm (UTC)

Is this part of the the season one finale that's going on?
mankini 19th-Jan-2013 07:19 pm (UTC)
No, season two started on the 7th.
ludagurl3d 19th-Jan-2013 07:19 pm (UTC)
no. they are on the beginning of season 2. :)
skonka 19th-Jan-2013 08:30 pm (UTC)
That girl is so sexy it's ridiculous. And it's weird because she's supposed to be 16 or some shit on the show so when I watch it I have to like slap myself when she's in those pants of hers.
littlestarletta 19th-Jan-2013 10:24 pm (UTC)
this show is my guilty pleasure. I met Lea Thompson on Labor Day in Montana and she is so freaking nice.
astrologee 20th-Jan-2013 12:03 am (UTC)
can't wait. i love this show, even though some of the plots are a little.. eh. but then ones like this week's episode bring it back down to being "real", i guess.
