Devil's Blurb The Next Stage

Building on the weaknessess we had in the last I'm opening the floor now to people 's thought on doing a new episode. We will be opening for people to join the writing team again of course so any one intrested PM or pop you name down here.

But lets pitch some story ideas for the next episode think mid season character realtionship established etc.

Ok Go, go, go!!

I'm going to leave this one open til next weekend we should have a good collection of ideas and would of been able to ounce ideas by then.

I mentioned this in the initial ideas session. What happens when the accidentally take the wrong soul? :O

What would happen?

Would they have to return the soul without Elza or Chris finding out? or try and cover up they've taken the wrong person?

Right count me in for next eppy defo.

Like the idea of them taking the wrong soul. Also maybe a flashback of how Dev got into it all.

Catherine needs to be the twist I think. We mentioned before about a paperwork mix up that has caused her to be there, or maybe she is really 'The Devil' himself. We need a few cliffhangers see.
We need to bare in mind that this can be quite dark if we want it to be. Maybe Dev is back to go after someone in specific.

The first eppy was light & cool. Maybe we could darken it up a bit. I read somewhere that viewers watch 2 episodes on average before deciding whether to bother again.

OK - I did get a bit confused with the story line for part 1. If you want me I'll have a go.

Did we explain exactly what Chris was doing? Maybe he misread a job advert.

To be honest, I never really thought the idea through in the slightest and have no idea what would happen, but yeah they could try to cover up that they've taken the wrong person and then try and return the soul without Elza or Chris finding out. There's also the person's friends and family on earth. How do they cope with the person missing? How do they react when the person comes back? What if the person comes back during the funeral?

If you've written one episode, why write another? Why not try to sell this one first? Or at least test the water with it?

In my experience with group the first episode just is a test so the group can really get to know each other normally the next one should be alot better, as we now know each others strengths and weaknesses

Exactly right. That's why I really want to write another one. I think t could be really good! :)

Me too. I want to do another epy.

Ok so so far we have taking the wrong soul.

1, whos do they take, whos were they meant to take.
2, what happens if it isnt a persons time if their taken.

In my opinion I think they should be in Limbo and hang around with Dev and Cat and they keep having to hide him something like that?

Maybe they were meant to take someone important or famous, so when they're in limbo this person is treated better than everyone else or something like that. Maybe they do take someone important or famous and have to try and bring that person back to earth without the newspapers finding out or something. Not really thought through, but it's an idea.

How about they accidently take the soul of a priest. Maybe the origional soul take was for his twin brother.

God can make an appearance then.

Right. Let's see if we can get this rolling again. I like the priest soul taking idea. Who else wants to kick start this project or am I the only one?

Its completely lost momentum/ members.

we need to draft new guys in. So any one intrested pm me.

as for idea why not a priests brother? then we can pit chris vs Dev??
