Album 57: A Call to Something More

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

What I am most interested in is Shona. I hope they give her a real role in at least one episode, not just one of those more cameo-like things.
The episode she features in is a 3-parter I believe.

In the most recent podcast, Paul & Dave said that there is going to be the beginning of 2 story arcs, one that involves most of the major characters and one mostly about Connie. Now, if her dad was dying that would be good for a three-part episode, but a WHOLE STORY ARC? I don't think so. But if she's pregnant, that might work....

How can Connie be pregnant when she does not even have a boyfriend? Not to mention the fact that Connie should not even be dating.

I just think its hilarious that anyone thinks Focus would ever EVER do this. They actually might have in the gritty 80's but there is just no way in the super-sanitized modern era this would ever, ever happen. Ever.

Now a lot of people wanted a more mature show and I'd personally welcome such a storyarc if done well... but that doesn't change the fact that it will never, ever happen.

Remember how horrible Connie acted when she was dating Mitch? That is why Connie should not be dating.

They could but Connie's being pregnant is not a storyline for the AIO age group. Just my two cents.

Maybe it's Mitch's child but Connie and her unborn child age so slowly that she only now realizes that she's pregnant!

(And I realize that this discussion is completely ridiculous and would never ever happen, but it's fun to put on the "Top" hat of discussion.)

Since the title of the album is "A Call to Something More" it's possible that Connie will finally go to school and become a teacher like she used to want to do. I'm guessing, though, that either Connie's mom or dad dies. We know that the doctor listed works at Odyssey hospital, so it wouldn't be in California. I'm leaning toward Connie's mom dying and her dad coming to be with Connie during this time. If Bill does have a daughter why wouldn't Connie already know about her? Do you think they would throw in a surprise sister for Connie after they already threw in a surprise brother for Eugene? Oh, well. All we can do is speculate! :)

But that can't be the beginning of a story arc! Paul & Dave also said that there is going to be a story arc that is about Connie, and her mom/dad dying can't be drawn out over a few albums... can it? They'd have to make it super long lol

The teacher part could be the beginning of a story arc.

Eh, it wouldn't have to be a SURPRISE SISTER, just one that... was never mentioned on the show.

Although I do like the idea of, "Well, hello Connie. Oh, by the way... SURPRISE SISTER!!!!"

It could be a surprise sister for Connie. After all, her dad never talks to her. She didn't find out he was married to April for how long again?

Or it could just be a surprise sibling for us that Connie super-mysteriously never mentioned before, like Shining Armour.

It could be that with Bill´s "loose" history with women, that HE just found out about said child. IF there is one.................actually have Eugene and Katrina use any surrogate could be interesting as that is a point of disagreement among Christians as to whether or not they should go to "extreme" measures to have their own biological child when there are so many children in need of adoption. Someone at some point proposed that Eugene and Katrina adopt Buck (already an orphan) and then get pregnant with their own child. It does happen sometimes when a couple adopts a child that they have their own becuase they are not so focused on the problem any more.

And, if Connie is a role model, she needs to be shown in a mature "proper" dating relationship that at least has the potential for marriage. She has been out of high school for MANY years, it is not unreasonable. \:D/

Yeah actually I think its probable that Bill wasn't even aware he had another daughter out there, cause he is kind of a bum.
