137 Ways to Surprise You
So let's take a roller coaster ride, shall we? Cass asks, out of the blue, why I didn't mention they doing something with SVH.
"...what?"
"Oh, you didn't know? Let me look it up."
I cheat and see that The CW is working on it and my heart kind of soars, just a bit, before she says, "Yeah, by the people behind Gossip Girl?"
And we crash. Because GG started off strong and quickly, QUICKLY, turned to shit.
But then I looked closer and one of the other projects they paired up with the writer and it was Marvel's Runaways. Which I loved.
And then I read the synopsis.
Sweet Valley is the town everyone dreams of growing up in. And there’s no better example of that promise than Elizabeth Wakefield. But when her missing twin sister Jessica miraculously returns, it reignites a lifelong rivalry. It falls to new girl Enid Ruiz to discover that someone (or something) is pulling all the strings, but can she convince the twins that putting their personal war aside is the only way to drag Sweet Valley’s dark roots into the California sunshine?
Soooooooooooo the Riverdale treatment, huh. I mean, they did it for Nancy Drew (same people, even) so why I'm at all surprised I don't even know. Eep?
