Gigi Cole

ooc / gigi + mia

I feel like Mia is def on board w/ “let’s find susan a new boyfriend” and is probably a bad influence in this area tbh (amongst others if i’m being honest ;DD)

[georgiacoletfs]

!!!!!!!  Gigi is sooooo happy for the bad influence tbh smh  I can also see these two totally egging each other on bc they’ve both got that ~youngest girl~ thing going and can both be kinda like “you don’t think i can do this?  i’ll show you!” (spoiler: gigi probs actually can’t do the thing #facepalm)  But anyway, I also think they’re both good at heart and def mean well but I def think Gigi looks up to her and all the things she got away with #facepalm 

No, but them plotting together who to shove Susan into a room with next (s/o to Jesse - it’s not you she’s gonna be in the closet with, buddy) is everything to me and you know it goes horribly and they’re just like *high five*  smh

[auroracoletfs]

ooc / gigi + rora

RORA LOVES GIGI SO MUCH IT’S RIDICULOUS *HEART EMOJIS FOREVER* <3333333333

[georgiacoletfs]

So I think - secretly - Rora is everything Gigi aspires to be.  She loves and admires Susan, but she sees how stressed she is and I think she’s like, “That sounds terrible,” but Rora is the perfect storm of fun and self-possession and she’s also five years older than Rora so she’s glamorous but not inaccessible yknow?  And so making Rora proud is REALLY important to her but at the same time I think Rora is legit Gigi’s best friend in the world and like I do think she confides in her and probs worries her alot and tbh she’s def one of those where if Rora says ‘gigi no’ and is really adamant gigi gets upset and slams the door but then doesn’t do the thing but still never tells Rora she didn’t and rora has to find out for herself and smh  On the other hand, if she’s casually like ‘gigi no’ gigi’s like ‘gigi YES’ soooo it’s a mixed bag.  I also think Gigi def does what she can to make sure Rora’s enjoying herself and do you think Rora’s involved in Project Find Mr Susan Cole at all?  ;DDD

[lenamilnertfs]

ooc / lena + gigi

okay so these two definitely knew each other when lena dated nick! i think a lot of their relationship would be based on how gigi would react to someone like lena??? and someone like lena dating her bro?

[georgiacoletfs]

dOmmmgggg so I feel like Gigi would adooooore Lena like omg  Ok, so I mean idk how Lena feels about kids?  Gigi would’ve ben 14-19 (depending on what we decide) when Nick/Lena happened which I feel would be just the impressionable age range where she’d be like “you do amazing things!  you say exactly what you think!  you are my hero!”  Esp bc I def think Gigi’s v aware of being the baby and while she def loves the perks she LOATHES the set backs and I feel like she’s always doing stuff to like ~prove she’s grown up or whatever #facepalm  I mean, she’s def gotten better w that sort of thing but yknow 12-16 was probs the height of that and yeah that would’ve been right in there sooo yknow  And also the fact that Lena’s British, Gigi’s like *hearteyes* bc I think she was young enough when they left - and ofc all memories of their parents take place there - that she reallllly idealized England in her head and yeah

OOC | Gigi & Marc

[marccoletfs]

     •     marc: nice try but you cannot use my own fake snake against me! ;DDDD

bUT NO I LITERALLY LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH (and this entire family tbh) But these two babies pulling pranks and being ridiculous (and actual children especially on those road trips where they convince Nick about all that spilled wine :3)

[georgiacoletfs]

"A girl can dream, Marcus” ~Gigi probably

THE COLE FAMILY IS EVERYTHING TO ME LIZZY <3333333  Also, Gigi looks up to Marc sooooo much like not only is he the closest sibling in age but like totally easy going and I think esp when they were growing up she totally hero-worshipped him and like when she thinks of her big brother, she thinks of Marc, ok (Nick is her dad tbh) and like she just wants to have fun and he just wants to have fun and she’s FINALLY 21 (she probs complains alot that the drinking age in England is 18 so their big siblings got to do that but they have to wait and in what world is that fair??????) but like she’s FINALLY an adult and she’s like “this is great” but tbh she probs still calls her siblings if she has a problem.  BUT ANYWAY she just loves Marc alot ok and she’s always here to be his prank wingwoman no question <3333333 

“Stop corrupting your little sister, Marc,” ~Nick, probably

ooc / jesse + gigi

okay so obviously gigi does NOT think that jesse is good enough for susan (cue her literally trying to set susan up with anyone else ;DDD) but do you think that it would be obviously to jesse?? i mean he’s def very used to people not liking him and judging him based on what they have heard he’s done and I do think that he kinda expects most people to look at him like he’s not good enough so even if she’s not totally obvious, I can see him getting the hint??? Either way, he def tries to make a good impression on susan’s family b/c he knows how important it is to her but i FEEL LIke for the most part he fails … 

(I feel like Rora feels like he’s genuinely trying to turn his life around, but she’s also concerned since he’s had such dangerous ties in the past … and I think she likes him, but she worries a lot and meanwhile Marc probably likes him the best out of the four but then #actualcriminal marcus cole so … ;DDD)

[georgiacoletfs]

Ok, soooo like Gigi’s weird?????  If he asked point blank, “do you like me w yo sis?” or whatever she’d be like, “no, i’m def uncomfortable w that but dont take it personally bc id probs stick my nose up at anyone short of jesus christ himself” but I think the fact is that...Gigi was 11 when her parents died and they came here, yknow?  Susan started filling in as her mom and she was dating Greg and since she can’t have her parents back, trying to get Susan and Greg back together is the closest she can come to putting her family back together.  And like I don’t think she’s ever stopped and thought about ~that aspect of things but...they had some good times and Gigi def knows she wants to see susan smile that way again sometime soon.  So, while she’s setting her up w other guys...tbh Gigi won’t feel fully settled unless it’s Greg, though idk that she’s realized that hahaha  It’s also weird bc if he WEREN’T dating Susan, Gigi would probs like him alot but dating Susan puts him up to basically impossible standards...

So yeah, I think Gigi does def like him but she doesn’t like him ~for Susan???  And so she probs sends mixed signals bc like he’ll say ‘omg i love susan’ or whatever and like she’ll roll her eyes but then he’ll say, like, ‘i love cars’ and she’ll be like, ‘omg i really like maseratis’ or whatever and totally engage him in conversation.  And tbh she’s sending mixed messages bc she herself doens’t know how to feel sooooo #goodluck  That being said, Gigi doesn’t try to hide her feelings at all, so she’ll tell him at any given moment and smh

*throws a fake snake in the shower*

[muchadoaboutmusicals]

cinder-ember:

During a high school production of Beauty and the Beast, where I was assistant costumer and assistant prop master, our director decided that we needed to spice up Gaston’s introduction. You know: in the movie, when Lefou runs in trying to catch the duck/goose that Gaston has just shot out of the sky?

Originally, the actors were going to stroll on stage with our Lefou hauling in the really neat (and real!) taxidermied deer head that we had found in a local thrift store. Now, two days before opening night, our director wants Lefou to run in from off stage and catch a stuffed duck that Gaston has just shot. This, of course, requires two things to work properly as a scene: a gunshot noise, and a stuffed duck.

The gunshot noise, we had covered. Blue-collar, redneck school? Guns a plenty to record. The stuffed duck? Harder than you might have thought to obtain.

Three hunting stores, two taxidermists, and one Pet Supply Store ™, I’d finally found a semi-realistic pheasant squeaky toy. What follows is an account of the ways this dog toy managed to be the nightmare prop of the six show run.

Opening Night: The stagehand, who was supposed to drop the bird from the ceiling catwalk, missed his cue and didn’t drop the it. Lefou’s actor rolls with it and does an excellent job of looking around foolishly before getting cuffed upside the head by Gaston. The stagehand then drops the bird squarely on Gaston’s head. Cue laughter.

Saturday Matinee: Different stagehand throws the bird instead of dropping it and beans Lefou directly in the face with the prop. Lefou falls over. Cue laughter.

Saturday Night: Bird is missing during curtain call. Director hauls the deer head down from it’s place on the tavern wall and tells Gaston and Lefou to revert to the old blocking i.e. no gunshot, no bird, just walk in with trophy. During Gaston and Lefou’s conversation, gun shot sound goes off and a stagehand throws the bird onto the stage…from the wrong side of the stage. Lefou and Gaston stare at it in awkward silence for a solid thirty seconds before Lefou makes off-script, subtle joke about Gaston’s gun going off late instead of early. Cue adults in the audience laughing.

Sunday Matinee: Director begs the stagehands to get the cue right at least once. Gunshot and bird prop go off without a hitch. Lefou accidentally catches the prop when it falls from the catwalk. He’s so startled that he caught it that Gaston runs right in to him. They drop both the gun and the bird props, and grab the wrong prop in their scramble. Gaston spends the rest of the scene gesturing dramatically with a stuffed pheasant, instead of a gun.

Sunday Night: Director is fed up with bird prop, decides that Lefou should just carry bird prop in after gunshot happens off stage. Lefou accidentally squeezes the prop during the intro conversation, startling both actors into silence with the squeaky toy noise - apparently, neither of them realized it was a dog toy.

Monday Elementary School Show: Lefou walks on stage with the bird. Accidentally drops the prop during conversation with Gaston. Gaston doesn’t notice the dropped prop and steps on it. Cue depressingly sad squeaky toy noise. Cue ten years olds laughing.

OOC | Gigi & Dean

[deanwylertfs]

alskjflasdjfl gigi <33333

okay, so i feel like the coles and the pierces are sometimes like one family since they both came over to america at the same time and idk if dean introduced them or if they introduced them to dean, but i basically see the nine of them (+ dean b/c he’s both an honorary pierce and an honorary cole tbh) hanging out together all the time and basically i think that he basically considers gigi to basically be a sister that he never had so the feeling is mutual tbh <333

also, i think he’s always been kinda like ~no thanks, gigi~ when she tries to set him up but now i think he might actually go for it b/c he’s trying to get over gwen and he doesn’t think that that’s ever gonna happen at this point, so i feel like she should def set him up with someone :DD

ps. he def loves all of her sweaters and jokes that they should all be losers and wear matching ones and go places 

[georgiacoletfs]

I totally feel that way too!!!!  Like, I think they all have a lot in common, beyond the dead parents and the British citizenship, even (insert facepalm) and like you get the Pierces and Coles in one room and CHAOS ERUPTS and like Dean is absolutely a part of both families and lakdjfljsfklasjdflkdjsaf LIZZY ITS SO CUTE IM DAMAGED  And tbh as far as the arrangements go, I’m cool with either circumstance!  And, I mean, Gigi was 11 when she came over and yeah like she probs doesn’t even know what the world would look like w/o Dean Wyler, atp, not to mention when she thinks “American,” she thinks of Dean.  So when she’s like, “What would an American do/say here?” she thinks what he would do which may or may not be on point idk but there you have it.

OMMMGGG but him saying yes would toootally make her day!!!!  And probs also her week etc.  Anyway, she def had a list ready.  So I need to look this up.  Ok, so the ladies basically within his age range are: Viv Bassford, Emma Bassford, Rachel Clarke, Joanna Cullen, Jessica Harris, Sara Holland, Aryia Jones, Cecily King, Gwen Milner, Lena Milner, Lexi Pierce, Mia Pierce, and Julie Truscott. Obv some work better than others hahaha so I think Rachel, Cecily, and Julie are the most likely candidates as far as Gigi's concerned bc she doesn't really know the Bassfords and probs doesn't think too highly of them anyway, probs thinks Jo's a kook, she's never met Jess, Sara has a criminal record, she probs doesn't really know Aryia, he dated Gwen which kinda crosses off both Milners, and same notation w the Pierces. 

Also I cry bc in response to that crack, I can def see her making all ten of them these horrible matching sweaters and trying to force them all to wear them for a picture at least smh

[georgiacoletfs]

OOC | Gigi & Dean

Ok, so I’m sure these two know one another hahahaha  I feel like she def involves herself in her siblings’ lives and obv Dean is in a brot3 w her big bro (s/o to the brot3 for good life choices from all the other ladies in town lbr ;DDDD) and so she’s probs basically adopted him as yet another big bro and probs tries to set him up w some nice girl (apparently Gigi is the second coming of Emma Woodhouse bc she wants to set everyone up but doesn’t want that herself and ~cue disastrous results~ smh) and probs makes him sweaters and stuff??????  I’m sorry about her?????  Her heart is in the right place, I s2g, she just wants him to be happy.

[harrylennoxtfs]

ooc / gigi + harry

okay so gigi and harry are the same age, so they might know each other?? i feel like there is a private school + then a public one and most of the poor kids obviously go to the public one, but idk i can see the coles possibly sending gigi to the private one??? idk?? but even if not, i feel like harry does kind of hang around on the ~wrong side of town and could have possibly met gigi, especially when they were in high school or whatever? there’s every chance that he hit on her/tried to sleep w/ her but he probably got bored with her before that happened?? 

[georgiacoletfs]

Hahahaha omg that is actual gold!!!  Bc yeah I can def see the Coles saving up and putting Gigi through the private school tbh (working for Elias has some perks afterall ;DDDD)  And I just smh bc tbh she most def flirted with him asp and loved that he was interested and probs talked about it alot to poor Rora but she’s the sort of girl that the instant he started moving in on that invitation she was like OMG NO HOW DID YOU GET THAT IMPRESSION???????? #facepalm and ran away.  And she might have used Nick as an excuse too (tbh he’d stand behind that sooo) but yeah????  Either way, all the mixed messages bc basically she just likes to flirt and she likes the thrill of that initial interest etc but she’s not interested in anything more than that, if that makes sense???

Gigi Cole

C H A R A C T E R ( S )

Name: Georgia Elizabeth “Gigi” Cole Age: 21 Occupation: Costume Designer Relationships (if any): Susan Cole, Nicholas “Nick” Cole, Aurora “Rora” Cole, Marc Cole (siblings), Lorraine Pennington (boss), Zachary Emmons (annoyance) Portrayal: Freya Mavor

The baby of the Coles and it shows

Gigi is def spoiled but she’s also wicked     sharp, capable, and honest

She likes to get things done and has a great     sense of humor

Pr naïve but not precisely trusting, speaks     her mind, fights for the things she wants

Wants to measure up to the rest of her     siblings

Has always hero-worshipped them and feels a     little left behind somehow

Rolls her eyes at them whenever they treat her     like the baby but secretly would do anything for them

Likes to cause mischief but not to the extent     of her brothers

Mostly just acts as Marc’s assistant when he’s     doing something rather causing trouble of her own

Extremely creative young woman, she loves     fashion and what she does and is v engaged

That being said, it’s not always fun working     for someone who can be compared to Miranda Priestly, but she makes the     best of it

Lorraine knows her stuff and Gigi’s determined     to learn as much from her as she can before the gig’s up

Just graduated from college in may and     secretly feels a little overwhelmed but that’s ok bc she does like a good     challenge

Moved in with Rora

Had mixed feelings when Susan sold the old     house – it was there family home and she’ll miss it and forever judge the     person who moved in tbh – but at the same time she’s crazy glad to see     susan moving on and making a life for herself, rather than one for them

It’s more than time Susan thinks about what     Susan wants for herself rather than what she can do for the rest of them

Gigi has also decided it’s time to set Susan     up with a nice man and she’s got a long list of potential candidates

Family: Gigi no; Gigi: Gigi YES

Constantly flopping on the sofa when she comes     home from work and comparing horror stories with Rora about their bosses     “what even” is a v common phrase tbh

Says what she thinks, but also tries to be     conscientious

She’s a big hugger – consider yourself warned

V passionate and v spoiled – she exercises v     little self-control and runs a little wild

Also don’t be fooled, like the rest of her     family, she can kick your ass from here till Sunday #thanksnick and not     only knows how to shoot but enjoys it

A big flirt but she never means anything by it     really (especially since Nick’s application for boyfriend material     includes a blood test, gladiatorial combat, and lie detector but tbh she’s     grateful to have an overprotective big brother bc it she can just say     “Nick won’t let me” if some boy starts to get too umcomfortable)

There’s a reason Gigi’s only ever had one     boyfriend and it isn’t completely Nick

But that being said, she’d hold it against     Nick for ages if he ever stopped her from dating someone she wanted to

V spirited, wears her heart on her sleeve,     sentimental, unrealistic

Constantly redecorating the house

Has the most ridiculous clothing collection     you’ve ever seen and she made half of it herself – if you’re looking for     basically anything but certainly a statement piece you need look no     further

Total geek about clothes and fashion and fabric     and basically everything to do w her field

Loves the arts but has little discipline for     analyzing them on a deeper level

Often feels sorry for herself but what gets to     her far more is seeing anyone else suffer

Watching someone in pain is something she     simply cannot abide

Her emotions are extremely close to the     surface

Loves gossip and travel and being excited     about just about anything
