r/everwood

I loved Everwood from the beginning. It's so underrated and I love the development and changing and growing relationships between Andy and Ephram and Delia. I loved each character's journey with grief and when and how it affected each of them. I also loved the friendships e.g. Ephram and Bright, Andy & Harold, Amy + Hannah, Reid & Ephram. And of course my fav couples are endgame. All the characters grew in such a natural way.The only thing I really hate is the relationship between Madison and Ephram. What are you as a 20/21 year old doing thinking about, looking, dating and sleeping with a 16 year old. It's so gross to me. And I don't care if it happens in real life. It shouldn't 🤢🤢🤢. And her choice to tell him that news at that point was beyond selfish. Neways, the show really did grief well and demonstrated that grief is not linear for anyone.

I’ve just finished season 4 and the last one of Everwood. Came across it by chance on Netflix a few months ago and didn’t realise it was from the early 00s. Absolutely loved this series. I feel sad it’s now finished and won’t come back. I love how the relationships matured and grew between families. The initial conflict between Andy and Dr Abbott was brilliant. My only niggle is the long drawn out will they won’t they all the time. Espesh with Nina and Andy and Amy and Ephram. Really great series all round though and now on to find another good one.

Still on Season 3 but definitely going to need a new series after this.

Great characters and real life experiences. I really enjoyed this series

There is a song named ( lyrics -hello people, glad you're smiling, glad you're having fun ) in Everwood series season 1, episode 17, where Ephram and Lanie walks down school hallway, not able to find this song anywhere using lyrics or track , wrong song is given on soundtrack for this episode, could anyone help me with the correct song ? Time stamp 8.01

i’ve only just finished s2e1 but my god is amy abbott annoying. she’s the worst character, like, ever. she’s grieving okay, but so is everyone else? what about colin’s parents, bright, who was colin’s best friend AND has to live with the guilt of that day. her grieving isn’t enough of an excuse for her fuckass behaviour bcs ephram is a teenager too. he too lost his mom and he isn’t being so selfish with everyone (let’s not talk abt his relationship with his dad for a sec). she hasn’t once offered an ounce of empathy or support when it comes to his mom.

she only befriended him to get him to convince his dad to operate on colin and now, ever so conveniently, hates dr brown for not saving him. what did she want? colin to be alive but just so slightly? she wanted him to stay on the vent forever? wtf she’s so selfish man her parents did a god awful job at raising her. i am yet to see one good thing she did for anyone (other than colin and that’s not okay). bright is so much better. at least he’s empathetic.

anyways, she’s making the show so unbearable for me, even though i love like every other character.

I thought I was going to be anti Amy because I saw some hate on her here. But i’m very sorry, it’s stupid and verge on misogyny a bit. I just saw a post saying something along the line of "amy in the first episode of season 2 is insufferable because she’s grieving but also is everyone else blah blah", I cannot stress this enough, people comparing the grief of people are the worst kind of people. It’s not like Amy is saying her pain is bigger than other people’s. She’s very much suicidal, in a depression state and is receiving PRESSION to get over it, like what ?? See, Amy was a bit of a mix bag for me in season 1, but this season, I feel bad for her. The parents act in a very immature way, and Bright... he’s very much an asshole to her. Amy literally TRIED to sat down and make them hear her side, no many teenagers, especially grieving ones, would even fathom the possibility to do that. She accepted her punishment but just didn’t want them to make her stop seeing the only person making her smile at the minute, is that TOO MUCH TO ASK ??? I’m sorry, im getting emotional because my little brother took his own life because he was very similar tl Amy and my parents wouldn’t listen and I wasn’t enough. Please let this storyline be over, it’s quite insufferable. It’s not about me not wanting to confront hard stories (Im a fan of them actually, after all, I went through The Body from Buffy three times and the whole season 6 of it which was quite triggering) but the way it’s being tackled here...no

Im watching season 2 ep 9 when Andy is singing outside of Linda’s home. After the flowers, the balloons… I don’t know it feels really weird like he barely even knows her ! How can he be so madly in love with her and trying so hard to have her after she said no? Something feels off. Especially for Andy’s character…

Is it just me ?

Ephram is annoyingly clueless. He's so into himself. Self-pity is what's running through his veins. He keeps on being an ungrateful sack of shizzz. I mean, his dad screwed up with the Madison issues and Amy missed to tell him before he left but within reason but he's still hating on her. Bright had more sense than anyone really. 😵

I try to find the alternate finale of the series (the one where Ephram never gets to open the door because he gets a call from Madison) because there is nowhere to be found and I remember it was on yt but I think they deleted the video. Please, if someone has the dvd, upload it.

Last week I made a post about where I think the characters would be now. This post is where “I WANT” the characters to be now 20 years later.

Andy - Married Nina, 4 years later (once Delia was finished with HS) was ready to go back to NYC to work part time. Also following Delia to her college in NYC. Nina didn’t go. They stayed together, a year later Nina agreed to move out there. After 2 years they had differences. Divorced but agreed to stay friends and close, but Nina goes back to Everwood. 5 years later now with both of his kids being grown adults, he calls Linda and she is single. They rekindle and Linda moves to NYC. They end up together. A few years later, they move back to Everwood and Andy continues part time work in Denver moreso just teaching at his older age.

Ephram - Married to Amy, has 3 children. They still live in Everwood, but he does travel domestically to play piano, as he is a somewhat famous player. Also teaches locally and domestically. He also writes a novel, and thanks Will Cleveland in the book and during many interviews/performances and says he is responsible for where he is today with music. 15 years later, his child does knock on the door and find him. Ephram explains everything, the child has had a good life and tells Ephram he understands and apologizing isn’t necessary. Amy encourages Ephram to pursue a relationship with him, and they do form a friendship/bond that continues to grow.

Amy - married with the 3 children.Lives in Everwood. Full time mom, however also works part time at the family practice. She later gets involved in more part time medical/mental health work after having dealt with her issues, Colin, her mom, Hannah’s family, Irv, Reid,etc. Sometimes goes to Denver to assist hospitals when they are understaffed. Also volunteers at Everwood high. Still friends with Hannah but they rarely see eachother in person.

Bright - Works hard at Colorado A&M. Involved with both sports team as assistant/trainer. Leaves Everwood after school, gets involved in sports training in Chicago. A few years later with an established career, he transfers to Denver and runs into Ada. They go on a few dates and have a bunch of chemistry. They marry, and have 4 children. They live one hour outside of Denver, and he commutes for work, so they can be closer to Everwood.

Harold - Him and Rose do adopt the abandoned baby. Traveled for multiple years with Rose, the child, and Edna, also visiting Linda many times before she moved to NYC. Has his practice back and keeps running it with help. Wants to pass it to Amy and the adopted child.

Rose - As stated above, becomes a mom again, traveled with Harold. The cancer never comes back and she’s alive and well. Has also lost some weight. In retirement, she gets involved with helping homeless teenagers and children.

Hannah - Left Everwood to study abroad. No longer speaks to anyone from Everwood besides Amy & Nina. Travels the world helping local churches give back and build for the community. Meets a good man, gets married and has 5 children.

Delia - After finishing HS, moved back to NYC for school and to get closer with her grandparents again, and convinces Andy to come with. (Don’t worry she also brought the horse and boards him north of the city) She goes to school for acting and film. Delia ends up making it in the industry as someone behind the scenes, lives in LA for a few years, before coming back to NYC and focusing on broadway work. Years later, she reconnects with her old friend, Arny. They end up getting married, and move back to LA to be closer to Everwood but also in a city where they can both pursue their careers. They are currently trying to have children.

Nina - As said above, she goes to NYC to try and make it work with Andy. Doesn’t happen. After she goes back to Everwood, she worlds her way up and becomes owner of the 2 best restaurants in town. Eventually she tries calling Jake (he tells her to go FYS) She never finds someone to be with. Once back, Andy does help Nina and they go back to being good friends/neighbors. She also still takes care of Sam, who has never left Everwood.

Edna - Still alive. Still has the same spunk. Lived with the Abbott’s for 13 years. She still lives in Everwood, but now in assisted living (not a nursing home) still has a great relationship with her family.

Jake - Still in LA. Finally found self worth and self respect, and managed to get clean once and for all. Kept working hard and is really doing well. After a few relationships, finally meets a great woman younger than him and does get married. They have 2 children.

I started watching Everwood one week ago and I love the show. It’s well written, well acted and earnest. The portrayal of grief is also touching. NOW, im in the middle of season 2, and the family Abott is pissing me off. It gave me PTSD, because I lived almost the same situation in two ways(im way better now obv). Amy is very clearly in a state of depression, a deep one at that. And before some say ’oh well Bright is grieving too’ it’s childish arguments because everyone grieves in différent ways (I love Bright btw).

The way Harold behaved at the table with the boy was very childish and Amy was right when she said he could have taken her in private to talk about this instead of saying all their business out loud. She actually tried to be mature about this (Edna was wrong for not telling them about Amy moving over her house but I do not blâme Amy for doing this, I’ve done it and Im very much not the only one of that age to be doing it). The entire season so far, Amy has very much gave suicidal vibes and it’s not good. I understood party of the reasons why Harold didn’t want the antidepressants but when she was begging like this and then making her feel bad about it, it’s just plain wrong. Like what is this ?

Rose is also right about the fact that Harold LOVE to patronize her but the whole powerplay she’s trying to do with Amy is very stupid (I can share her tiredness due to the whole situation, I can understand her). I lost my little brother because people did not listen to him properly. He was exactly like Amy and he didn’t go to counseling, wasn’t being heard by anyone in the house, and I got family yelling and moments like the Abott family scenes. It’s a mess and it’s very hard to watch, maybe I should take a break.
