I have quite a few things to catch up on in this topic - especially considering that a new scene will begin on the 23rd.
First up, there were two bits of dialogue dropped from the script between the quotes for April 13th and 14th. The dialogue in the script appears as follows:
JOE
We talked about this. My work's
here, my friends. I can't just up
and go.
CAROLYN
I know.
JOE
So I'll ask again. What's wrong?
CAROLYN
Maybe I'm just afraid.
No doubt the lines were dropped because they're fairly redundant.
Also, what Joe actually says instead of the quote for the 13th is "Now, we talked about this. My work is here, my friends, my family" and the "I can't just up and go" part is dropped.
It's also interesting that in the pilot Joe mentions having family, which he basically didn't on the original DS until the Jennings siblings showed up more than two years into the show - and even then they were simply there to facilitate Joe being written out of the show. And with the '91 DS I don't believe there were even any hints of Joe having family. But one can't help but wonder if we would have seen any of his family in the WB DS and if they would have played any major part in his life/storyline?
