Season Five Additions - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Central Perk · 05-11-2003, 07:35 PM

Since FX is not airing season five I was wondering if someone could give me a brief description and their opinion of the new characters added in season five.

I would like to know about the following characters:
--------------
Jenny Shaw
Glenn Foy
Raymond Milbulry
Corretta Lipp
Claire Otoms
Maddie Harrington
Victor Morrison
Todd Merrick
Wilson Jade
Liza Bump
------------

Thanks.

I think I stopped watching Ally around that time because they just added too many newbies to the show. When they added Nell and Ling, it was just minor additions. We didn't have a whole flock of people coming into the show. When they started adding all the newbies and the old cast members were leaving, I just got the feeling the show was on it's last leg. Robert Downey Jr. was an exception. He was a good addition to the cast, but I didn't really care for any of the other new cast members.

Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't help more. Maybe someone else can post a much better reply to your post.

Don't give up on Ally season 5 on FX yet. Before I got interested in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (another show on FX), they kind of aired a few eps from the sixth season, but they didn't air all of them. I think Chris on the Buffy board said it took around 10 months for them to acquire the full season 6 of Buffy. Just wait around for awhile and they might show season 5 of Ally.

Thanks for replying. I just checked the FX Schedule and on June 19th they will start airing season five episodes.

I hope so too. Do you plan on watching any episodes from the fifth season again when they air on FX? The "Ally Clone" that was added to the cast was named Jenny.

I might try and catch a few eps. I know I said I stopped watching it during season 5, but I def. made a point of watching the final ep when it was on. It was a pretty good finale. lol Both named Jenny.

Hey, btw I like your sig and avatar pics.

I'm the opposite of Jenny.I STARTED Watching during the middle of Season 5.Here's what I thought of the characters:

Jenny Shaw-I only saw her last episode.

Glenn Foy-See Jenny Shaw

Raymond Milbulry-I don't remember much about him.

Corretta Lipp-Which one was she again?

Claire Otoms-She was WAY too overused.She was rather annoying and was actually used more than Ally herself in some episodes.

Maddie Harrington-I'm in the minority of people who liked Maddie, Ally's daughter.The whole "Wait! Ally has a daughter? How can that be?" thing kind of got me to watch.

Victor Morrison-He was ok but I would have preferred it if Larry/Robert came back.

Todd Merrick-He seemed to serve no point other than for David E. Kelley to say "Look! We've got Chandler!"

Wilson Jade-Did they ever get him and Nelle together because it seemed like they were trying to.

Liza Bump-Well I'm biased because I've always had a little crush on Christina Ricci.I thought she was kind of annoying at times but not bad overall.

I liked Maddie too, but most of the rest of them sucked.
