I'm sure mostly everyone here knows that the upcoming episode of 8SR is the the last one that John is in.:( That means that in the next week, John's character, (Paul) will pass on... Now, I have a question for you guys.... how do you think it will be handled? How will John die? How would you do it? I just want your thoughts...

I do have this weird feeling it will be the same cause of death or even a heart attack. I can only imagine loads of tears from the cast and re-doing the lines. :(

... he'll die in a car accident or something. I dunno sounds kinda corny doesn't it? I think so lol.

Ever since John died it's been like a big dream, or nightmare rather - it's like he's still here, and I think it's because I've gotten to see him on 8SR for the past couple of weeks, and it's like old times. It's going to be really weird, and sad, to see the one that they write about Paul dying...:( I dont know...I mean, I know I will watch it, and probably record it, but I know I will probably cry...it's just very sad :(

that's what I tought too. cuz then they'll be over the problem that they can't use john's character again in the 4th ep. the ep could start and they could say "paul is at work" or sth like that, and then he could just have that car accident on his way home from work...

man.. i'm gettin sad while i'm typing this :(

yeah that's a good idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like he'll be on the way home from work or something and he gets in an accident and- o heck read what TheBert said.

I think it is but I'm not a sitcom writer, so... yeah.

I'm kind of hoping they will say that it's been about two months since Paul died in the 4th episode, like it will be in real life when the episode airs. I just think watching the characters' initial reaction to the death would just be too sad, JMHO.

I would be too nervous to record it, yet I would want to. But the theme of that fourth episode is going to be the saddest, most difficult...... :(

yea they will prob jus say sum kinda crash ting cuz if they wanted 2 say heartattack or sumtin like dat, they wuld prob hav gone 2 da hospital 2 c Paul b4 he passed but dat isnt possible. so i guess crash is da only way 2 go. unless they tink of sumtin else. but 2 mee, dat seems like da way 2 go. its so depressin tho :( :(

i kno ill b cryin. i wuz even cryin on da other 2 episodes n they werent even sad! but jus knowin dat thought in da bak of ur mind dat he is no longer here, dat jus gets u so sad. :(

I think they will write Paul out as having died suddenly, the same way John did. They could set it a week after his death, starting with the family coming back from his funeral. It would be good if the writers could find a way to include some amusing parts in this episode, so the audience has a few laughs to go with their tears.

OH yes, that's it. Let's laugh at his death :rolleyes:

That's not what I meant. What I meant was the writers shouldn't completely forget that the show is supposed to be a comedy. So they should try to include some humor in the episode. Just little bits where they can find it. Like the family talking about the funny things Paul used to do. Also, they should probably go without a laugh track for this episode. It would be weird if they had a loud track in this episode.

I understand what you mean Freakzilla, and I agree.

I understand too. I don't think "bingaling" understood what you meant. But that would be cool if they mentioned some of the funny things he used to do, it would be like another tribute.

yes, i agree. they should really do that
