There's always drama but without it, what fun would TV be?

When I heard the Ivy will be a regular I was very excited because I really like her and hope the writers make her more interesting. I just hope Teddy doesn’t become a regular because he is the worst character on the show to me. But now they have 5 girls and 3 guys… that’s a little off, hopefully they bring in a new guy as a series regular that the audience will like.
About Navid being compared to David, I don’t know. They are both seen as geeky when it first starts out and when I first saw his name before the show premiered my first thought was “Are they trying to modify ‘David’ or something??”! Other than that though, I don’t think they are any more alike than any other pairing of new character to old character. I think that each of the characters on the new show takes something from each of the old characters. Navid is like David because of the above, like Andrea because of his commitment to the newspaper and pride in his ethnic background, like Brandon because of his morals, etc.
Wes: Glad you’re happy about Ivy. Didn’t know you dislike Teddy so much!
Step: Thanks for weighing in. I, too, kept thinking of David when I first learned Navid’s name. lol I’m wondering if they also associate them because of their videocamera use. ::shrug:: Good points about him also having shades of Andrea and Brandon! Usually Andrea is the one I see him compared, too, and he’s said that, too.
You’re welcome! 🙂 Thank you for bringing up the topic! I didn’t think about the video camera use but that’s a really good point-although the quality of video has changed since 1990 lol!
Well it’s not so much that I don’t like Teddy, I just don’t like the fact that Trevor looks so old. If it was an actor that actually looked like he could play a high school student then I might like him a little more but Trevor doesn’t pass as a high school student to me and I don’t know how the casting directors didn’t see that. I guess they just found the first guy with a six pack that was available. I would much rather Ty Collins (Adam) or George Evans (Kellan) to come back.
Gotcha, Wes! Thanks for clarifying. =)
