I hope someone from the show reads this b/c I'm afraid the new "investor" is going to become a love interest and the plot will downward spiral into the common extramarital affair issues. That would completely ruin my favorite TV family. Here's hoping someone will consider these alternative plot ideas.
1) Where are this family's neighbors? They seem to live in a vacuum. Why not have a foster family move in next door. You would have ample topics to develop with social workers, foster care providers and -- most importantly -- the children whose lives are often so traumatically affected by the welfare system. This would be a great gateway for getting the Debois children further involved in the show and allow the young actresses playing those roles to develop their acting skills.
2) There's an actor named Almos who may still be on Battlestar Gallactica, if that show's still running. He is equally an excellent "good guy" and "bad guy" ... and he has an incredibly sexy voice. Could he come in somehow related to the ex-DA. You could set this up as some kind of Mexican-USA border dispute issue to address a current event. It is Arizona for goodness sake! Not everyone is white.
3) A recent news story could beexpanded to TV with the Dubois children. I think it was Mississippi where a class of 3rd grade students plotted to kill their teacher. The news stories were mostly interested in what would happen to the kids. I want to know just how evil that teacher had to be for her children to contemplate such an action. Most 3rd grraders LOVE their teachers, didn't you? What if one of the Dubois children has a troubled soul teacher?
Please don't mess up the repartee in this TV family's togetherness by writing in an outside love interest. Make your writers brainstorm something less trite please.
