[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 343124, member: 27"] The only possible reason I can imagine why it wasn't their (re-)wedding was the show's exhaustive efforts to keep the secret of James MacKay's return for the finale. A soap wedding takes a lot of planning and a lot of crew members have to be involved in the staging. They likely wanted as few people as possible to know he was going to be returning, so he could not be a major player in one of the more difficult series of scenes to film. I mentioned in an earlier thread how I thought keeping the secret was counter-productive, since it was one of those plot points that, if properly publicized, might have enticed lapsed viewers back to watch the finale and sent the show off with a decent-sized audience bump. Nevertheless, they did a pretty good job of keeping the secret. It only leaked out because MacKay signed an autograph onto a poster or something that had several other current cast members' autographs on it. It "placed him at the scene," so to speak, leading others to dig and find on-set photos and such. I totally agree that Nina and Culhane as the marrying couple in the finale was kind of weird. If anything, Culhane ought to have invited some members of the family (Fallon, Kirby, Steven, maybe Amanda) to his wedding, which would have been held at La Garbage*. Speaking of which, it would have been logical for Culhane to sell his half of the hotel to Steven. * I just realized how much I'm going to miss calling Sam's hotel by that name. :( [/QUOTE]
