everyone comically trades their affianced
hey this site does have summer stock (1950) i can find out for myself if everyone comically trades their affianced or they don't really bother b/c idk judy garland's role's sister tires of showbiz too much to marry gene kelly anyways, very conveniently, and orville keeps just wandering out of every scene looking lost after being shooed away
#summer stock#orville unfortunately is in no musical numbers but i Was still somewhat surprised#besides judy garland's role he has the most of ''here's an arc's worth of material'' as anybody#i was also not counting on his being Worthy of a comedy last minute engagement trade; but that was broadcast partway through#he & jane's sister abigail get a scene where not only is she like ''yeah i used to have a crush on you ;)'' but also says lots of girls did#like oh okay i was prepared even for her to be maybe Settling in the end at best lol but alright#there's this....bit where his allergies are acting up throughout everything lmao?? definite a bit like ''look at this dweeb'' energy but#yknow sometimes you have glasses; allergies...also a sort of usual ''umm try to be less of a bitch'' imperative for him in that like#great news; he Also gets to be harried (by his comically way overbearing/interfering father) like yes Yes! [harried]!#and there was this like Oh No part of the aforementioned convo where abigail kindly is like ''try to be less of a bitch'' by suddenly being#like ''women don't want to be apologized to women want to be Told what to do not Asked'' like jesus f christ abigail nooo#However. in a wash: her romance w/gene kelly joe tanks b/c she's like ''can we be done rehearsing for the day'' so he starts telling her sh#doesn't have what it takes & when she leaves b/c he's being an asshole & judy jane garland is like ''can you stop being an asshole''#it's somewhat implied her sister abigail is a bit too flighty & full of herself & it's an imposition for him to stop browbeating her....#whereas judy jane garland being a down to earth hardworking farmer isn't so Sensitive. she also happens to be more Talented#so the leads' romance tanks but evidently abigail doesn't actually want to be yelled at & bossed around so; win for her actually#whereas before the opening night show while she's worried abt forgetting all her lines judy jane garland sees gene joe kelly show up and is#just earnestly like ''you're not gonna yell at me are you :c'' Romance!! (he's like haha no b/c you're too talented to warrant it (: )#orville meanwhile gets to gently go sicko mode (tell his dad to [hand on shoulders] shut tf up already)#then avow to Stop The Show only to eventually turn up backstage like no of course i don't wanna stop the show. like oh. ok#Abigail Is There telling him not to have fisticuffs with gene joe (someone ought to; actually) & she whacks him upside the head instead#(eddie orville not gene joe; unfortunately) which is their Extremely Rushed Comedy Affianced Swap Resolution like oh. ok#like uhh what happens w/abigail's other show?? they could probably stand another whole half minute of conversation also#but it's clearly Not about that threatened [no apologies telling not asking] so....good for them. better than the central romance lol#not the highest hopes of [romantic lead man is Not kinda a smarmy asshole] ever but might hope [asshole] isn't [will yell at you]#we don't see him do that re: judy jane but the implications of 'but she could handle it :)' & 'well so long as she doesn't deserve it :)'#like i said how i'm sure corbin bleu can bring some more charming je ne sais quoi lol....we can also probably tweak some material.#things were truly more ''well that's nice'' before joe & abigail basically break up b/c now he's yelling at her & oh she's too Sensitive#whereas this doesn't thwart his relationship w/jane much besides her like ''could you not be an asshole to her'' b/c She could stand for it#anyways orville gets a good amt of varied scenes; an arc; isn't just there to be the shooed away nuisance....william has stuff to do
