Recycled dramatic plots
In case you need a break from college basketball, we have a non-sports take today.
For those of you Everwood fans who are old school like me, did you get the feeling you were watching a recycled subplot from Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High?
Amy and Ephraim remind me a lot of Caitlin and Joey. When the Degrassi kids went on to high school, Caitlin ditched Joey in favor of socially-conscious Claude who turned her into an anti-nuke protestor. In tonight's Everwood episode, Amy's professor tried to get her involved in controversial causes. When Ephraim wanted to get back together with Amy, she gave him some dumb excuse about how she needed to find herself.
In short, the plot could be summed up as: agitator separates couple we want to see together. I don't really mind the story recycling so much. I wish Degrassi still lived on in cable somewhere.
