Stefania and Danielle are really managing to get so many people on board because of how well they gel off-screen and how much they do for the fans :’) I’m excited and nervous to see how they’re going to incorporate Stefania in the show full-time – glad that Stefania and Danielle are helping the fans cope with the extra long hiatus lol! Shondaland got lucky because they took charge of promoting their own ship (and it’s working)!!

They really did luck out with them! I don’t know how many new people they’re bringing in, but they’re doing a lot to maintain interest, and probably bumping up casual fans into something a bit deeper. Aside from the SM side, they’re just obviously gorgeous and talented and again, that riDICULOUS chemistry. It would have been so horrible to waste it so I’m glad there was someone at least halfway competent behind that decision.

Of course, I could come to rue saying that. I love how knowing Stefania is on S19 now is such a collective fandom roller coaster, excitement and apprehension alternating in waves. Oh, well, as you said, we got a long hiatus to bask in what we have now and the potential for more.
