Great pics!!!!!!!! Thanks for giving me credit, but it was a team effort!!!!! I'm so excited!

Lol - I wondered who was commenting so quickly! You deserve a lot of credit b/c I wasn't even sure where to start with a couple of the characters. I think I'm horribly behind on pop culture since I've been living abroad sans television. So thanks for that, and for always being so great about reading little scenes I send to you and giving your opinion. It's a tremendous help! :)

Aww, thanks, Angel! I am glad I am of help and feel honored with all the input you allow me to give you and the writings you have shared with me :D

I really love your choice! I've pictured all of them almost exactly like this!
Lanie for me looks like Elyse Levesque PLUS Emma Stone, I think. LOL
And Mike is very close to what I imagined him like.
NO comments on Gwyn. Perfect.
I like Jessica Stroup and although I pictured Ashlyn a bit differently, I really like your choice.
Oh, and who am I to say 'no' to Channing Tatum?He's amazing!

Oh good, I'm glad that these photos are close to how you imagined the characters. Lanie is sort of a mix of Emma and Elyse for me as well, I think. That's why I included both photos. The photos for Mike, Sean and Gwyn are pretty much how I imagined them, and Ashlyn is close, but not exactly how I imagined her. I just couldn't find anyone who fit better than those photos of Jessica Stroup. Maybe next I can find someone for Mrs. Chandler lol. Anyway, glad I got this done b/c I want to post the update for the story today or tomorrow.

If you're picturing Sean as Channing Tatum, I just might switch over to team Sean/Chloe over Oliver/Chloe :P

[poetgirl925]

Seriously, if this wasn't specifically a Chlollie fic, I'd be going with the Chloe/Sean hookup lol. My muse likes him, so he'll pop up again soon. :)

Lanie MacAuley - I think Emma Stone captures her essence perfectly. Elyse Levesque - no can't see it.

Mike Bennett - Jesse Metcalfe is a good choice.
-
Ashlyn Sinclair - I always picture Mila Kunis (exotic, slender, down to earth personality). Jessica Stroup & Olivia Wilde- no can't see it (too thin).

Gwyn Harris - I can see Dianna Agron in that role.

Sean the bartender - I think more of a Zac Efron (flirty, twinkly eyes, easy going) Channing Tatum - no can't see it.

Mrs. Chandler - Ellen Burstyn is perfect.

You know, I never thought of Zac Efron as Sean. Probably because I always picture him as a teenager because my niece watched HSM 90 bajillion times one summer when I was visiting home between teaching posts in Korea haha. He could work though. I picked Channing Tatum mostly because I knew a bartender once who was much like Sean, and he looked a lot like Tatum.

Mila Kunis - I can see that as far as features. Both Stroup and Wilde were models turned actresses, so they have the height and presence I was looking for when I imagined them standing beside Oliver, Mike, etc. I ended up going with Wilde for the story banner though.

Thanks for your comments! I love knowing how you guys have been picturing them - makes it more fun! :)

I liked the characters
I think it's amazing that you did this because it's so much more interesting knowing all them

[poetgirl925]

I always try to imagine the characters when I'm writing because it makes it easier for me to picture scenes. I'm glad you liked the photos I chose. Thanks for the comments and sorry to be slow in replying - I live in the Middle East right now and my Internet is crap. I enjoy hearing from you guys though :)
