Plot
Nick Garrett (Bryan Greenberg) left home ten years ago to go backpacking in Europe for a few weeks and find himself. He left behind his girlfriend Hannah (Laura Prepon), best friend Eddie (Geoff Stults), and his family. The brief trip ended up lasting for a decade. Garrett is now a famous author and screenwriter living in New York City. Between the parties, social engagements, and living in a beautiful loft-style apartment, Garrett is stuck in writer's block for his next story. His agent books him to do a one-day writing seminar at the local college in his picturesque hometown of Knights Ridge, Massachusetts. Nick is excited about coming home, but realizes the feeling isn't completely mutual although his family and most of his friends welcome him back effusively. Hannah has a son, Sam, 10, and due to his age Nick questions if the child might be his biological son. Eddie is upset with Nick for ditching out on their business proposal and making him look like a fool in his book. Others are also upset with things Nick wrote in his book about the town. Nick will soon learn that it will be quite a readjustment coming home and that nothing will ever be the same again.

When Nick learns that Sam has a nut allergy like all male members of his family he decides to stay in Knights Ridge and persistently tries to obtain a job at that local college ("the duff") despite botching the one-day seminar with a bad case of nerves. He eventually wears down the college Dean by pleading for the job on her lawn late at night. She finally relents after he badly sings "Where is Love?" from the Oliver Twist musical. Nick seeks out the boy, Sam, but backs off when Hannah remonstrates with him. Nick's father also becomes convinced of Sam's paternity when he sees the boy has similar looking eyes to those of the widower's late wife.

Nick eventually confronts Hannah with his belief about her boy's paternity. She disputes his view, pointing out how common peanut allergies by asking patrons at the local bar for a show of hands of those with the allergy. Many people raise their hands. In the next few episodes. Nick and Hannah's feelings continue to develop. Hannah decides to break up with her boyfriend prompting him to swear revenge on Nick. In the episodes to follow, Hannah's son, Sam, has an allergic reaction to a birthday cake made of nuts. In the tense episode that follows, Nick and Hannah are observed, by a hospital bystander, about how you can tell they're in love. In the season finale, Nick rushes to her house to proclaim his love for her. They almost kiss, but are interrupted by Sam's supposed biological father.

Jammer dat het maar 6 afleveringen heeft in het eerste seizoen. Zouden er nog meer dan 10 afleveringen in het 2e seizoen komen?

Ja hoor, er zijn er echter pas 12 bekend op dit moment.. en met die staking enzo.. dunno hoe het verder zal gaan maar ik verwacht eigenlijk wel nog een hele boel afleveringen

2x11 Hat? No Hat?
2x12 Stand Alone By Me

McFadden 1 - Eddie 0

sorry die moest ik ff voortijdig kwijt!

Ik vind het een héél leuke verhaallijn die echt 1001 kanten op kan en de cast is ook prima lijkt me zo. Ontzettend veel bekende gezichten maar ze moeten natuurlijk ook echt bij hun rol in de serie passen en daar ben ik nog niet helemaal achter.

Kweet nog niet precies wat ik echt mis aan October Road.. misschien moet ik het gewoon nog ff de tijd geven.. ik blijf sowieso het sowieso volgen! Zou best een serie kunnen worden die met de tijd echt aan je gaat groeien. Let's hope it does!
