Will LG Continue without Bree?

[Terryfic]

Yes.

At least according to Miles. Earlier today, when the official chat went back up, Miles swung by the LG chat and as to be expected he was berated with questions. Of the few that he actually answered, the only one that I found notable was his comment that even after Bree's role in the story is over the show will go on (I would assume with a different name though and it will branch off into other shows.

Everyone behind the scenes has said that the show will be on for a long long time. It is also becoming apparent that the current cast is getting more and more non-LG work. I wonder how long until LG is Breeless and how well the show will do after she has left.

My money is on not well at all.

Very....What will we bitch about when they go? How sad. Y'see this is why I don't like to commit to ANYthing.

Hmm, possibly they could turn it into the OpAphid show, where as the characters we know now move on, others step up to take their place in continuing to fight the Order. As Bree mentioned there could be others out there like her, she'll probably find them and they'll keep it running.

That's certainly a feasible idea, but also a most unfortunate legacy for LG15. What'd make this show any different than Power Rangers?

Well I think that depends on how the ratio of phorum phanz/casual YT viewers works out. I hate to keep harping about inaccurate YT metrics, but I still don't have a handle on the current real viewer demographic and their viewing preferences.

Sadly, many of the ARG folks don't really seem to care much for the original characters so I doubt that them (Bree and DB) leaving is a big deal as long as the phanz have a preponderance of clues and the occasional action vid to satiate themselves. As the show is becoming more and more about this everyday, the characters are becoming less of a driving force with the phans. Yes, this is negative but how I see it. Perhaps this is all part of the "Master Plan" anyway, if so then I (as always) wish them (the c's) some modicum of success.

As for me, it will ALWAYS be (Bree) about the characters...

This subject seems to come up periodically and in differet threads. I recall presenting my brilliant scenarios then. Instead of looking it up I'm sure I can give you a brief review

1) They show all the arrogance of late 70's TV producers and replace her clumsily and without explanation just like they did with those two Dicks in Bewitched (no they were nice guys but one was named Dick York and the other was Dick Sargeant). This only worked ecasue Samantha was the star; Guys loved Samantha - the HOT young housewife who could -and did- make a mean Martini and Women loved Samantha - the hip smart housewife who had the nerve to deliberately disobey her husband but always made him feel like a man in the end. (WOW those were the days)

2) A little more workable these days. Bree dissapears, or goes out on her own to "find herself " or something like that. Perhaps if they have the chutzpaBree dies - but that woould prevent any "very special" episodes where Bree returns for some reason.
In any case, JOan and Daniel team up as a couple of young hip detectives. Each week they follow a blind lead otherwise search for Bree (or Bree's Killer) but each week they actually solve some incidental crime. For one thing it allows for a reunion episode, cameo Appearance, stuff like that. If they run out of ideas they can always write in an episode where the sinister OpAphid is actually involved much like Dr. Moriarty constantly confounding Jim West and Artemus (Arty) Gordon.

3) They actually have the balls to admit the chemistry can not be recreated and they gently put the whole thing up on a shelf were they can look at it once in a while and think: That was really cool. I'm glad we did that". Then they can go back to whatever it was they were doing before or maybe on to success in the industry somewhere else. Right a book? Who knows? AS long as they earn enough money to cover the credit cards and pay back the in-laws.

All that being said CG has a pretty good idea there above me.
Let's keep in mind that the desired demographic probably doesn't really include some/most of us here.

I HATE when he is above me. God knows what will fall from that tree limb

Milo has helped me with my uhm, throwing issues, but droppings are still a hazard nonetheless...

well, the show might go on, but it won't be "Lonelygirl15" without Jessica Rose.

I don't think they'd ever try to replace Bree with a substitute (imagine a voiceover one day, like a soap opera: "Today (and from now on), the role of Bree is being played by Amy Aitken."), though they definitely would need another female cast member if Jessica moves on.
