That thought crossed my mind too actually :) Great minds think alike!

I love Nurse Jackie! I'm really excited about this. And very curious about how everyone will react to Billie's performance!

I haven't seen the show before, but I'm gong to watch to see how Billie Joe does (he was great as St Jimmy on Broadway, so I kind of have high hopes...lol which might not be met, I know). I assumed from what we've seen and heard that he's going to fatally overdose during that night with her. Like, he looks dead as fuck on the floor when she's like "You have to help clean!" and starts picking stuff up around him. And then his death pushes her to go to rehab. Hm...guess we'll wait and see. I don't have TV, so I'm going out of town to a friend's house to watch it with her lol

I kinda hope he dies. :lol: Just like he did in practically every other role he played.

I think it looks more like he's just passed out or asleep. Could be dead though (I hope so :D).

Yeah he could be dead or just passed out/asleep. Or he's planking on the floor. jk :lol:

It'd be funny if he died (sounds weird, I hope you know what I mean, haha), and I wonder what happened before that.

Nurse Jackie's Executive Producers' partner is the President and owner of the group of theatres that owns and runs the St. James. I suspect he saw, and met, Billie through his run in AI and had this character he felt Billie was right for :)

I was always kind of wondering how this came about. Thanks for giving me something to tell my parents when they keep asking me why he's gonna be on! :lol:

I doubt it. Being an avid Nurse Jackie fan, the new season has her going through rehab to get clean. His character is someone who plays a role in her taking that step. If you watch the clips (which I am sure you did :)) you can see that he and Jackie are using together. So I suspect his character was always intended to be on for one show, to make a huge impact on Jackie, and push her to rehab. Jackie is a pill popper, and that is not at all what she and Billie's character are doing in the clips we have seen so my guess is the outcome of that is a dark and deep reality of why she needs to go to rehab. Perhaps the choice of drugs his character uses (and shen then tries) scares her into reality, perhaps he does die, but something happens to make her want to get a grip on her own reality.

Dead-on, exactly what I say will happen and why. This is a woman who's become numb to emotions, and, based on her personality combined with her occupation, death isn't something that she can dwell upon long, or it would affect her mood and work performance. Billie, someone she's developed some sort of relationship with, will be a big shock to her.

Having some words from the guest stars of this season it was too hard to get a few from Billie Joe? :dry:

That video reminded me of how pumped I am for this! I got Showtime just so I could see this haha. Also It looks like Billie did an awesome job. The scene in the church looks great.

Yay! I loved the preview.

Okay the kiss was kind of cringeworthy, but everything else seems good so far.

Because all married men are honest and true to their wives? If he's a drug addict, I don't suppose he's to be considered honorable. All the better for his character, I say!

Maybe he said no because he's too busy working on the new album. :)

no i dont mean "why is he kissing nurse jackie? isnt he still married?" i meant thats probably why he's still wearing his wedding ring in the show. people were wondering why they didnt have him take it off. i'm not sure if thats what you're getting at but yeah

I see. Yes, I misunderstood your meaning. And yes, I think he's being a skanky married, drug addicted, man "hanging out" with Jackie. Of course, I haven't seen the show, but the previews, make it appear that way.

Oh what fun this episode is going to be!
