Uh. I don't know about everyone else but I'd rather the Interlude characters not show up in the main game. It just sounds kind of contrived and DPC already has a huge cast of characters to handle.
Those characters seemed to only have been written to provide more depth to Zoey's introduction. Their stories were also pretty much wrapped up by the end and it didn't really look like there'd be any reason to suddenly leave San Diego and suddenly show up wherever MC and Zoey are now. Unless it was something sudden and life-altering but also something Zoey could do about (whether consoling or actively help). Which is why it'd be really contrived to have them come back.
Even if DPC does another ass pull like that, what purpose does that serve? They're support characters of someone who you can't even pursue yet. Which means they're tertiary characters at best. Or secondary characters of a secondary character at worst. They have nothing to do with the MC or anyone at the school. BADIK is MC's story, not Zoey's. At best, you could say that one cluck post he saw was because of that one jealous tattoo woman but that's not really something that needs a reapperance to address and it'd just be another stupid subplot no one asked for if she did show back up.
Not everything needs to be interconnected. Just let DPC take the "L" on the Interlude and pray that he doesn't make one about Madame.
imagine so the Interlude characters will play a role. DPC has done a lot of work with it. How many complain that DPC could have included Interlude as an intro in EP9 should actually be proof enough.
I got a lot of facepalms when I wrote way before Interlude for Zoey to come back. The only thing that's funny now is that most people know it. I got a lot of facepalms when I wrote way before Interlude about Zoey being older than the MC. In Interlude, Zoey was confirmed to be a year older than the MC.
That's why I'm writing ahead so Emma knows Isabella. Why? In EP5 we learn that when Isabella went to college, she came from further away. She met some friends from her high school days, but she also wanted to make new friends. This is not an invention of mine.
She met former friends from her high school years in college. But Isabella definitely had several friends in high school. Maybe even those who were never accepted to college. She came from far away. San Diego far? In terms of appearance, Isabella fits San Diego. But it doesn't stop there. Emma and Bret have known each other for a long time, probably since high school. We know that Emma took a quick trip to Las Vegas but came back. Bret was always in San Diego. But the most important thing is so that we know, so that Emma and Bret tattooed each other and learned to tattoo.
Isabella will definitely have traveled home at one time or another during her college years. That's not unusual. She will also have met up with former high school friends. Not unusual either. Isabella was currently between 18 and 22 years old.
Emma has two tattoos on her arms. Isabella and Bret. Before we start again, that's Isabella and Bret on Emma's arm. All three were between 18 and 20 years old when the tattoos were created. Bret had curls at the time, which was a few years ago. A tattoo is difficult to change. It's the same with Isabella. There's nothing wrong with Emma and Bret being Isabella's high school friends. But there is this connection. DPC creates a connection between Interlude and BaDIK with Isabella, only this connection is in the past. MC just gets to know Isabella. So we have this connection from BaDIK to Interlude. Zoey then brings in a second connection, but one that concerns more in the present.
Anyone who still thinks that Interlude was important simply doesn't recognize the facts. DPC himself wrote so that he had to make Interlude for the reason that connections could be made out. But if you want to deny it, please. It's not my decision.
DPC explained Isabella's past well with the College Flashback and Interlude. But DPC left one thing open in Isabella's College Review. It is clearly written that Isabella wants to make new friends in college and that old high school friends are also in this college. I didn't make that up, it's written.
Now I'm wondering who these old high school friends and Isabella's new college friends are. A few thoughts from me. Alison, Iris Mooore-Clive, Helen Bailey-Patrick Bailey, Lana Royce, Monica Taylor-Pete Taylor, Cathy Jones, Lynette, maybe the mother Quinn or Sage, etc. But there is no real clue pointing in one direction yet .
But one thing is certain. Isabella is the main connection between Interlude and BaDIK as far as the past is concerned. Zoey is a connection between Interlude and BaDIK, which concerns more of the present.
Let's get to the crucial one. Zoey told Bret that they would not only talk on the phone but also meet up. The only question is where. San Diego or in the BaDIK world. For me there is no doubt that we will see one or two characters from Interlude in BaDIK in the future. The information is there.
