Discussion: Zude in S4

James LaRosa has tweeted that Day 1 of the #HitTheFloor S4 writer's room in the books . . .

He's stoked! We're stoked! Now that it's happening, let's talk about what we want to see in S4 for Jude and Zero. I'll start:

1. I definitely don't want soap opera drama for our boys. No cheating storyline, or whose baby is it, or any of that crap. I want Zude to remain a team, and for the boys to always have each others backs.

2. To give the boys drama, I would love to have Laura show up. Either Zero decides to contact Laura or Laura somehow figures out who Zero is, maybe because Leo and Carla show up and make a stink. I would love for Zero's horrible foster family life to become public, and for him to give interviews/write a book/decide to give some kid a GOOD foster family. And maybe Zero and Laura have a tough time reconnecting, but he's determined and Jude is supportive, naturally. (Maybe Jude has a private talk with Laura?)

3. I would love to see Oscar's reaction to Jude and Zero. Please god, let Zero give it to Oscar good for being such a crap father to Jude. (If Zero has a line about being 'rather loud' I would be very happy. *g*)

4. I want to see Jude and Jelena working together for the good of the team even though they kinda hate each other and don't really trust each other. Or maybe they do? Maybe Jude and Jelena go through a crucible.

5. I want to see lots of Lionel being Jude's friend, and supporting Zude, even if she has some qualms about Zero.

6. I want Zero to become team captain and to become actual friends with his teammates.

7. A house warming party! *g*

We could give them your "More of Us" story and they could adapt it to fit the timeline. (While giving you writing credit of course!) :)

I'm re-reading it now, and though there would be *a little* less angst because they are a full-on couple, the idea of a baby being dropped on their doorstep would be a good one for the show. Even the Terrance "baby-daddy" story-line didn't take it that far!

Maybe something happened during the 4 months they were apart, between season 2 and 3. Add 9 months and age the baby appropriately beyond that. Might mean the baby isn't a newborn anymore, but it could still work. :)

Yay! Always look forward to your fics!

Btw, I peeked at the link. Are you writing the one about Lionel's pregnancy? Very intriguing prompt. It could go in so many different directions. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
