As for Perry's age in the book, for whatever reason I have a memory of reading Celeste's remembering of first meeting Perry was that she was around 25 and he a bit older. Either way, it wasn't a plot point as it appears to be in the series. Or at least the synopsis.

So I decided to figure this out. For whatever weird reason it's only in the audio version (in my case it's Audible). It would have been around page 341 in chapter 56 where she's reminiscing about when they bought their house.

Well, in my paperback edition (had they included the line) it would have been on page 341 in chapter 56. I realize there is no mention in the book. It's only in the audiobook, also chapter 56. It doesn't show up in either my paperback or several ebooks I've looked at.

I don't have the slightest idea why there's a difference. I don't even know if there are other lines added or different. It would be way too much work to find out.

It's odd that they seemed to have added that to the audio book while not having it in the original book.
I've put in a request to the library for it, so I can reread it before it airs. And, unlike last year when I first read it, there are a lot of requests for it. I'm presuming that people are now paying attention to the fact that it's airing next month.
BLL had a panel today at the TCAs, no mention of Alex, or any of the other male actors, though screenwriter David Kelley was there.

And right now it appears that Fever Heart will start filming in Vancouver in May.

Thanks for the updates, buckeye. Finally Alex will be on this side of the Atlantic. His bestie Joel is shooting his netflix series in Vancouver too.
Saw WOE today. Weird movie but I liked Alex in it. He looked hot! Recommend to watch it at least once.

Wait Joel is actually Alex's brothers bestie. Nevermind haha. But they are friends from what I can gather.

Sometimes they'll change words like torch to flashlight or lift to elevator in American versions of audiobooks, but that's usually in the print version as well. Sometimes something becomes factually untrue, embarrassing, or entangled legally, and the author may only change it in the audiobook since it might be produced after the books are printed. Same thing for typos. I mean it helps a little to know he's younger, but it doesn't really matter.

Audiobooks can be released at the same time as the print version, but sometimes it is later. Damned if I can figure out why this was added.

That is very interesting that they would mention it in the audio book and nowhere else. I thought Perry being younger was only part of the series. When I read the book, which was before the the series was announced, I always imagined Perry being at least a few years older than Celeste. To me that defined so much of their relationship, that Perry was older, richer and more powerful than Celeste. Cant wait to see how it is written in the series.

Sometimes they'll add a change to a subsequent print run. But I checked a couple of ebook versions, and they match the print version. And it certainly doesn't take much to change an ebook.

It's a little odd, especially since it doesn't really impact the story.

The audiobook was released at the same as the print/ebook. I don't know what the time frame for recording the audio was, perhaps it was a bit earlier and they were going off of an earlier proof? (throws up hands).
At least we know we were remembering things correctly, it just depended on the medium we were reading or listening to.

I like that one! :smile:The rest of them seem unfinished or not quite high-quality in terms of presentation.

I'm quite fascinated by his eyelashes in that pic, they're quite long. I don't think it's fair that his lashes are longer than mine :p

So is this S4, waaaay back in 2011? Ah, TB you could have been so much better than the way you ended. But Alex has done well, career-wise, since then. With the exception of LOT, his roles haven't been in 'big' movies, but they've been interesting roles and movies.
