I *think* she was saying "ohmigod" over and over really fast.

Haha, I remember explaining shipping to my sister, mom AND dad. My dad is all for Monk and Natalie too. My sister was for Randy and Sharona and my mom is just pretty much clueless to anything.

ME TOO! I've always, always, always shipped them. That was why I could never, in a million years, even if there was chemistry, ever ship Randy/Natalie. Randy and Sharona were made for each other. OMG! Just caught something when watching another clip of the episode on megavideo. When Natalie, Sharona, Randy and Leland start having their big ol' fight, Randy turns and tells Sharona (it's hard to make out over everyone else) something along the lines of "What were you thinking? You could have easily gotten yourself killed!" Awwwwwwww. Proof that he was already looking out for her!

It's just a super long transcript from a phone call interview. Here's the link that I've got: http://nicegirlstv.com/ngtv-interview-transcripts/tony-shalhoub-and-bitty-schram-monk/And here's the specific ( ... )

Huge thankies for the link and the section from the interview, the diffrence with that was there wasnt an actual romantic relationship between sharona and adrian in that ep, just great to see him uncomfortable and her uncomfortable on the floor ( ... )

Well, I'm hopeful that it's not just Shandy but actually both because he says "episodes" which means there will be multiple happenings. With Sharona not reappearing again, then we can *almost* safely assume that he meant both couples. Of course, he's not necessarily saying that it will happen either. Just that the idea will be addressed one way or another. That's what I got from it anyways.

Actually...I'm 98 percent positive that Tony Shalhoub is a shipper and that it explains the added chemistry to the characters. I think he purposely adds stuff (I know he sometimes adlibs scenes) for the ship. But that's just my opinion. And in just about every interview I can recall, he very happily mentions Monk and Natalie's relationship. I still have the video from his live chat prior to Mr. Monk is On The Run Pt. 2 and remember how giddy he appeared to get when talking about how he believed there would be more movement between Monk and Natalie in the future. Again, he said that was his opinion though and that he couldn't speak for the writers ( ... )

98% LOL, I swear I've read interviews where he says he was adding the subtext to the Adrian/Nat relationship... well we picked up on it :D i should save these interviews.

Plus the link to the phone interview it seems clear when he says do they want his opinion on it or the writers... sadly they dont say both... and ask for the writers opinions.

I've read from the writers and in commentary's where they say they write the lines, and then Tony will turn a few simple lines into this big Monk-ism... so i dont see why he doesn't for the adrialie love :)

Do you know any info on Traylor's thoughts on the relationship between monk and natalie, all ive ever watched is from when she first started on the show, and its got to have progressed from then.

Yep, I think I remember something like that too. I need to save mine too :P

Yeah, I know. They always ask him what the writers want and never him. Sigh.

Well, I don't have the link off hand, but I have a quote from Traylor. This was way back in between seasons 7 and 8 so her thoughts may have progressed even further:

"I think there are a lot of different opinions on that one," said Ms. Howard. "Some people want it and others can't envision it. I don't know if I can. But it's hard for me to imagine them without each other."

I know in the end he has to act out what the writes write, but to know what goes through the actors head re-the nat relationship adds so much weight to it all. Esp for us shippers, if we know he is thinking the same as us, and adding the sub-text, then we are seeing it as he wants it to be seen.

Thanks for the quote, its at least nice to see she is aware of it, I swear with some show they mention relationships the fans like to actors and they are shocked and are like "wow never see that."

I'm still trying to comment on the other ones, but pics aren't showing up right on here for some reason. I have to refresh like 20 times to see anything including userpics. And when I try to go see the pics on imageshack, the links time out and I have to come back and click them again for them to show up. Strange.
