Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

RIP Catherine Coulson...?

Or so reports Twitter, but I haven't seen any official confirmation.

This is sad. It's hard to imagine how the new TP will do without either Bob or the Log Lady, they're kinda essential to the supernatural vibe of the show... (Or will they be recast?) Thankfully Michael J. Anderson and Carel Struycken are still around. (And according to IMDb, Anderson at least will appear in the new series too.)

Also, before I checked the IMDB link above, I had no idea Peggy Lipton was in her mid-forties when the original Twin Peaks was made. That's uncanny!

man RIP :(

yeah peggy lipton fine

her daughter isn't bad looking either (and looks pretty much exactly what you'd expect a mating of peggy lipton and quincy jones to look like!)

oh wow had no idea

woah

and their other daughter was tupac's fiancée?!

yr a lil late to this news

I'd be ok with rashida jones being in s3, get a dynasty in this thing

Original show had like three non-white characters

RIP "blackie"

bad joke, sorry. For real though some diversity would be good this time

rural pacific NW was pretty white in the 80s. maybe it's less so now (I kinda doubt it)

the first month i lived in portland there was a huge nazi rally, and i was like, gosh, so this is the mainland!

Portland's more diverse than the surrounding environs

also not as far north as TP

of course it is, tho that is saying v little. think most of the nazis had driven in from the environs.

"Some of my best friends are white"

heh

I'm near certain I will love this whatever but I guess one of the main things I want from it is nobody disguises themselves as a Japanese investor

yr a lil late to this news

Bummer but I can see Robert Forster totally owning that role.

I doubt we're getting Lara Flynn Boyle back, either. Or Moira Kelly, for that matter. It's really kind of amazing that so many of the cast members from the original are still around and onboard.

yeah, ontkean coming back would have been so great tho

Ontkean weirdly showed up in The Descendants in a non-speaking role. They could have brought him back in that capacity. I would've been cool with just having him mill around in the background of scenes.

from what I read, he pretty much only agreed to do that because they were filming on his doorstep in hawaii

Ontkean supposedly was on board for the revival until just recently and even spent a ton of time trying to track down the same type of jacket he wore on the show. No idea what happened.

he couldn't find the jacket

lol

Surely Harry would be wearing a North Face fleece by now.

Why wouldn't Moira Kelly be back?

I don't know that she won't be. I'd just be (mostly pleasantly) surprised if the actors who were only in Fire Walk With Me transitioned into the new series.

I only found out about that getty thing today on a twin peaks site (I've never read the dfw piece on lynch)

Holding out hope for Agents Chester Desmond and Phillip Jeffries.

this is a bummer, but c'mon Forster's a great choice as a replacement

Yeah, Forster is a great replacement, and certainly a better actor, but that is a bummer. Harry is kind of the honest good soul of the show, and Ontkean nicely underplayed the role.

Also he's so pivotal to resolving that cliffhanger (which is the one thing I really want to see, even more than an entire new series).

maybe Bob goes into Harry and turns Harry into Robert Forster
