Colin O’Donoghue didn’t tweet. He might have been filming yeah, but I think he should have at least supported his fellow cast members. Just because he wasn’t in it, didn’t mean it should have been an irrelevant issue. Raphael Sbarge tweeted during that time slot, and he wasn’t it in it either. I thought his doing that showed a lot of good sportsmanship on his part. After all, they all play for the same team!
We don’t even know if he’s in Vancouver right now. If he’s back in Ireland, it would have been about 3am when the show was airing.
Agreed, he might have been in Ireland and asleep by then. If Colin had been tweeting people would have asked him about Hook’s reaction to things and that’s something I bet we’re gonna see eventually so what would have been said? “Keep watching”?? There were many other cast members who tweet a lot too who were not involved in the official live chat.
This is the first one they’ve done in a long time but usually they each take episodes they’re in so they have something to address. Was surprised to see so many of them tweeting this one but I think part of it was to throw us off the trail (like having Meghan do one and make us worry about her). More than enough people to follow all at once while watching, didn’t need the entire cast of the show or we’d never know what was going on!
Hopefully they’ll switch off and perhaps Colin and a few others will do one for a different episode. The live-chats help bring in live viewers and they may want to spread them out a bit / not have the same people do them all the time. Also it depends on where the actors are at the time: they all tweeted the West Coast airing because that’s the only feed they could get so even if Colin wanted to tweet, if he were home in Ireland or something he wouldn’t have matched up with any viewing of it here.
I love Colin as much as the next person but the “he’s not tweeting” thing (way overdone on this board) is a bit inaccurate…he tweets when he has time, he’s very good to the fans and he shares a lot of pictures of him and Lee Arenberg (Grumpy!) hanging out so he must be around there sometimes (hopefully healing up so Hook can come back in full force!)
True Keegan wasn’t in the episode and tweeted some but she may usually do that. Some people are more dedicated to watching and interacting than others and by not being in the episode she had nothing to worry about spoiling / answering since the focus was on the announced people answering questions who were in the episode.
I know if I were in their shoes I’d be afraid to answer anything for fear of killing somebody’s theory or giving them something to read into that doesn’t mean anything. Live-tweets are great for getting buzz and interacting with various cast members and writers but they can occasionally be instant theory-killers. It’s a double-edged sword. Hopefully it helped in the ratings though.
