I think the whole AK stuff really hurt this season far more than many may understand. In order to not give him any creative credit as Executive Producer it looks like they really had to rework the back half of the season and that rush REALLY HURT this season from eps 11 on....

Aaaaaaaawwe! I just love this...

This just gives me the warm fuzzies.

Right?? I've missed these types of interactions between those two. With all that's gone on since Season 2, all we really started hearing from Chyler was about Alex's journey and/or Floriana. I've missed the focus on the sisters, on AND off screen

Aaaaaaaawwe! I just love this...

This just gives me the warm fuzzies. So glad she brought the kids to see the show.

Looks like Mehcad was hanging with Melissa and Chris. If he was/is in New York I can't imagine he wouldn't catch the show.

You can always do "shoot arounds" without Mel being present. Then when she arrives, they will go full bore inboxed filming single scenes. A lot of times what appears to be a conversation is filmed separately. There are enough techniques in which Mel's missing 2 weeks of filming will not affect her performance.

Thanks, Argo. Oh and also...so excited you got to see Mel on Broadway. Jealous am I. But, loving the detailed experiences and such

Your comments made me think, I wonder if they may have also pre-filmed some of the first few scenes of Season 4, planning for Melissa's absence. Hmmm. I suspect they've already got it all worked out. And as Sully said, there's no real way Kara wouldn't be in Season 4 ep 1.

And knowing she'll be at Comic Con makes me so excited for our Comic Con week in the forum. With all of Eric and Kelsey's behind the scenes and such... Good times on here.

It’s possible they did some filming of season four before she left for NY. The tell on that will be if there’s any teaser footage at SDCC. I sure she’ll get the scripts. She could also do table reads by video conference on her day off. My montra is “I trust Greg Berlanti has the scheduling worked out.”

This is my promised report on seeing Melissa play on Broadway.

She was fantastic, even better than we can imagine. She’s got a great future ahead of her. Her singing was outstanding. In fact when she sang”It’s Too Late”, I got goosebumps! When she signed my program. I told her that her singing gave me goosebumps and she smiled and thanked me.

In real life, she is a shrimp. She’s tall, but skinny, small boned. When she’s signing autographs. She doesn’t appear to be that tall. I was at the most 10-15 feet from the stage, and at times, she was really close to my section. I had a great view and the theater is well designed for maximum viewing.

There were plenty of old farts in the audience, aside from Supergirl fans. Her whole performance is sold out through August 4. There are no tickets available.

One of our fellow forum writers was right in front of me. His companion had seen the show when it first came out. She mentioned that Melissa was far better than her predecessor!

I wish they could tape her performance so others might see it on TV. It was that good. And the cast, was absolutely wonderful.

Really, this is a woman to watch beyond Supergirl. I suspect that with this performance she will receive far better personal offers during her breaks from Supergirl.

Here's the possible concerning part:

"Stacey had also said that she finishes the show on August 4th, has two days off and then returns to Vancouver to film on August 7th. It didn’t sound like she was going to be flying back and forth to film in July? I dunno, at least that’s what it sounded like to me."

What day did someone on here report or hypothesized shooting began, again, for season 4? Probably nothing to worry about--as in, we shouldn't worry about whether or not Melissa will play a "lesser role" first episode of Season 4. Just play more Kara for easier filming lol. Right? Plus, by the looks of it from ending of last episode, Melissa's gonna be doing a LOT next season.

I don't know how they're going to manage it but, with the way they ended the season it would make absolutely no sense for Melissa to not play a major part at the beginning of the season. The whole set-up seems to be centered on there now being two Kara's so, I would think that would mean that we see more of her not less. Who knows but, I'm sure they have a plan.

Just read a terrific Twitter thread from @_ashleymaria_ concerning her experience seeing Beautiful. If you have twitter... Go check it out. Things to note, as I suspected... the strings in the piano are removed...

"A little background info from Stacey the stage manager from the stage tour. Got a look at the piano; totally taken apart and modified to be played by the actor with no sound, speakers being attached to it so that the orchestra pit can perform the songs."

Here's the possible concerning part:

"Stacey had also said that she finishes the show on August 4th, has two days off and then returns to Vancouver to film on August 7th. It didn’t sound like she was going to be flying back and forth to film in July? I dunno, at least that’s what it sounded like to me."

Just read on Twitter that a fan attending Beautiful yesterday saw Chyler at yesterday's matinee. Yay!! Was hoping she'd get to support Melissa. Hoping to hear of other cast members going.

Awesome, I hope she and Nathan brought the kids to see "auntie" Melissa on stage. From what I understand the show is appropriate for the ages of their kids.

LOL Mr. Broadway Jeremy better show up.

What I really want is for Carole King herself to surprise her at the end of a performance. Even better if Melissa's mom, who is a huge Carole King fan, is there at the same time.

Here's Mel's 23 minute AOL Build series interview. It's fantastic, and answered just about everything I've been wondering about her Beautiful journey.

Edit: There's even a Melissa/Chyler question

I noticed on the Beautiful webpage that Melissa will not be doing the play on July 21 and 22, which is the weekend of San Diego Comic Con. Very much doubt that is a coincidence.

Wooowhooo!! I was bummed at the thought of possibly having yet another ComicCon without Chyler and Melissa there at the same time. I would imagine we may have Jesse there, too, now that he's been but up to a regular.

Well, look like the man from Rye, NY (a town near me) has pulled some strings. Brilliant, Berlanti! Now the whole gang can come...well less Jeremy given his downgrade, but Jesse given his upgrade. I wouldn't be shocked if the host of the Supergirl panel utters the words Broadway Star. Last year of course Chyler's father-in-law passed on forcing her to miss SDCC 2017.

I couldn't imagine them not having her come to SDCC, but it wasn't looking like it was going to happen. I figure SDCC is in their contracts so....unless you have a family emergency like Chyler did last year, you are there. I'm glad it isn't too much of a turn around for her so that she will have Monday to get over the jet lag.

Yah, even Greg Berlanti doesn’t have the power to allow her to skip SDCC.
