okay since i'm thinking about, here's a couple of things i'm hoping for in series 2

i know shields said we'd be getting more personal info about the characters (i haven't actually seen where he said that, so if someone has a link that'd be great), but i thought i should say it again anyway

especially their friendships! i wanna know more about what they act like around each other! show me them being a found family dammit.

give jonathan a bigger role. at least one. even dennis got a leading role! let jonathan have one too!

speaking of leading roles, annie is the only character (apart from jonathan obviously) who hasn't had one of the two leading roles, and i fully believe she deserves it at this point.

i'd love to see more of trevor understudying. let him have to fill in because one of them is knocked out. link it back to tptgw and ppgw. we love him.

i am highly doubtful this will happen but i very much want one of the episodes to be doctor frog. and if not, at least give us some more of the script.

genre-wise, i would love a fantasy episode (especially because we know the cast loves fantasy). also rooting for sci-fi and western.

please. confirm at least one of them as lgbtq+. i am begging on my knees. give me one canonically queer cornley member and i will be happy.

these are all only hopes, so it's not like i'll be super disappointed if they don't happen, but i felt like sharing. feel free to add on any ideas you have.

Thank you to the PPGW understudies for stepping up this past week!!

It has been a chaotic week for ppgw on bway but the understudies/covers stepped up!! This included:

Chris Leask as Max

Bianca Horn as Lucy and then Annie

Brenann Stacker as Tessa and then Lucy

Stephen James Anthony as Chris

Ryan Vincent Anderson as Gill and then Francis

Fred Gray as Max (he is the associate director and they literally flew him in from the UK, and he got just an hr of rehearsals)

Wait what?! They are understudying each other?! They never did that in the UK that’s so cool!

Yes they are understudying each other which is pretty cool! I know that they don’t do it for most of their shows but have they never done this for ppgw before? I feel like it would make sense in this show bc of the flying - I’m guessing Greg and Shields are the only ones truly trained for that? (I just remembered that Shields is the only guy flying in Pilot not the Pilot as well). And they have a limited cast compared to their other shows (I think) so maybe that’s why they’re understudying each other?

Chris Leask as Max is something that can be so personal

yes!!! also it makes sense that leask would be Max's understudy since he has experience running around in an animal costume
