The Town of Odyssey

I've been following the AIO Facebook page and have been eagerly awaiting the little update and photos of the recording session for album 57!! So far, much is being made about a new episode formerly titled Ripples" that's currently being recorded. Brock has also been asking the fans to post questions for Katie, Townsend, and Andre, and he'll pick a few to ask. It's pretty exciting following along the creation of the album as it's in process. I am sad we won't get to hear the episodes till when it's released Fall 2013, though.

Fall 2013? That is precisely why I don't get excited when someone posts here that the next album is being recorded. I really wish they didn't make us wait so long.

Wait. Why are they taking so long? o_o

so they arent doing one in the spring this year?

What happened to airing one in the spring?

I'm assuming that with the birthday bash and the Get in the show contest, their schedule was too full to record and produce a new album for the Spring. I think that it was mainly the Get in the show contest that took so much time out of the year, and they wanted the winner to appear on the subsequent album. And since we didn't find out the winner till November, it would be way too rushed to record all the episodes and have the album ready by Spring.

But remember, there's still a teensy tiny chance that in lieu of the next album, something has been made in secret for the Spring. I'm still eagerly awaiting the probably-never-to-come day when Arin's Judgement is made.

The facebook updates have been really fun to see/read today. It is kind of frustrating to get so excited when we won't get to hear them for several months. I'm glad they don't do this every time.

It seems that there is a distinct possibility that the actor who plays Bill Kendall was at the recording session (or at least someone with a very similar name, probably just a typo)

^^ That was kind of what I thought. The title of the episode was Life Expectancies, formerly known as Ripples. They indicated that it was a difficult script for Katie (as Connie) and that if they said the name of an actor it would give too much away. It couldn't be Mitch, because they've already brought him back, it couldn't be Jason, because he's already "Home Again," couldn't be a returning villian because that wouldn't lead to a script that's difficult for Connie specifically. A story with Bill Kendall is a strong possibility.

Any other theories?

That makes sense now. When Katie said "Allen Burman", AIOWiki had nothing on him. Now I know where the Bill Kendall rumours came from. And it makes sense, considering Katie had a box of tissues, and Bill's been married and likely married again enough times that he could very well have another daughter Connie doesn't know about. Now the real question is:

HOW ARE WE GONNA WAIT UNTIL AUTUMN TO FIND OUT?!?!

Alan Bergman also played Jack Davis' father.

My theory is either one of Connie's step moms or her step sister (Shona's character) is dying or seriously ill (It is called Life Expectancies after all) and Connie just finds out about her having a sister!

Also, if this is true, will we hear from June Kendall as well?

no title for 57 yet, it's still ~8 months away from release and they've only recorded 3/12 episodes still lots of work to be done, I'm not sure if they even know the title for the Album and as far as I know there still is no art for the Album either.

I nearly passed out when I heard that the episode is called "Life Expectancies". (And it has some doctors and nurses in it!) I was quite afraid that Whit was a goner. But if Bill Kendall is back then he's mostly likely the one dying. (I'm just glad that Whit's safe) It will be kinda weird if Connie has a long lost half sister or step sister but I'll get over the weirdness. I'm happy with whatever drama AIO throws at us.

Yep, bet Bill is dying off. He ran out of months to marry at last.

Since Connie has finally started aging it would be kind of interesting if she had a younger half-sibling or something to fill the void teenage role in Whit's End.

Yeah, people started to worry about Bill when he married October.

must have missed one. June, April, May...............I have a facebook friend named September.

I think that Bill Kendall is dying. He probably has cancer or something. As for the possible sister, has anything been said about one? Where is everyone coming up with a sister? I know Shona will be in probably one episode. If Connie has a sister that moves to Odyssey then I would think they would want a permanent actress to play her.

Just had another thought. Maybe Connie's mother dies and that brings Connie's dad back into her life and possibly to the Lord? Oh, that makes me sad now to think of her mom possibly dying. Didn't Connie have an aunt or cousin that was supposed to visit her in an early episode? That was the one about the feathers and bricks I think.
