KBell didn't become friends with Dohring the way she did with Ryan Hansen, never seemed especially comfortable with him
I sense that he can be quite an intense method actor, I read one interview where he was talking about how he felt that he was really in love with Kristen for the three years that the show was on, whereas Kristen always strikes me as someone who jokes around between takes and doesn’t get as heavily invested. There are some fun conspiracy theories going round now though about her being jealous of Logan’s popularity, and driving Jason out because of it! *g* And yes, judging by iZombie and Liv/Major as well, I would say that characters like Duncan and Piz are the characters that Rob Thomas is more drawn too as the love interest, Logan/Veronica always felt like they were driven more by fan demand. Honestly I’ve never seen his writing of romances as his strong suit anyway, he’s one of these writers who breaks the couple up all the time because keeping them apart is the only way he knows how to write them
And my feelings differ slightly from the rest of the fandom when it comes to the movie, I’ve seen a huge sense of entitlement quite frankly acting with people like the show is all down to the fans bringing it back and Rob should therefore be writing to please us, and I just don’t see it that way. Yes the Kickstarter surely helped with showing the level of interest the fans had when it came to approaching Hulu, but it can’t be said for certain that the miniseries couldn’t still have happened without it imo. Revivals are very big right now anyway (X-Files, Gilmore Girls, Roseanne, Will And Grace etc etc), and Kristen and Rob were gung ho for years about wanting to continue with VM, Kristen was particularly vocal about how she was determined to play Veronica again one day, and so I just wouldn’t attribute season 4 solely to the movie. I think they could have still got a revival off the ground with a streaming service regardless as tv as changed a lot since VM was airing back on UPN, and Kristen is a bigger name now as well, so I could see a streaming service like Hulu or Netflix taking an interest regardless
Even with the movie, when Rob and Kristen first put together the Kickstarter proposal it was a huge gamble, it wasn’t like the fans themselves were the ones to approach them with the idea to get a VM off the ground, they were supporting Rob and Kirsten’s efforts with their show at the end of the day. But of course I would understand feeling betrayed if the movie that fans were paying for had killed off Logan, but the new series to me is a different thing, and yet so many fans act like Rob should be writing for the fans demands from now on simply because they kicked in $50 or whatever for the movie. And for me at least the movie was its own thing, Rob made a concentrated effort there to get in as much fan service as possible because he understand that the fans were paying for that one, but that doesn’t mean that he should be forever indebted to the fans in future versions of the show that he and Kristen got off the ground by themselves imho
