Important Announcement


Dear readers, unfortunately I have found that I do not have enough time to keep up with my recaps lately. Therefore, it's with great sadness that I say that Teen Drama Heaven will be closed until further notice. This is not goodbye but instead a see you soon. This is a very busy time for me right now and I would like to keep doing this but it takes a lot of time. Also, it makes me sad that I can't finish this TV season because of all the hard work that I have put into this blog. However, I would like to thank my loyal readers who have got me to 8629 hits, that's insane to me. Additionally, I want to thank my best friend who really believed in me, she's literally amazing and without her I wouldn't have had the confidence to write for this blog. I will be back though, hopefully I will have returned in time for the 'Pretty Little Liars' season 4 premiere. Until then, you can find my TV thoughts on my Twitter account.

Thanks for everything.
-Leon

Pretty Little Liars: Will the Circle Be Unbroken? Recap/Review


Did anyone else love this week's 'Pretty Little Liars' episode, 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken?' I'm so sad that there's only two episodes left of this season. But I need answers so let's get on with it, the girls meet at the school courtyard because they haven't seen Spencer lately. Then Melissa voices her worries, the liars tell her that they don't know where Spencer is, which is true. However, we know that she has been committed to the Radley. I was really concerned that Spencer's family had no idea that she was at the Radley but we find out that Spencer had been considered a 'Jane Doe', that make's much more sense.

9O21O: Life's a Beach Recap/Review


There has been some very important '9O21O'-related news recently, if you haven't heard then where have you been? Yep, it's true, the show has finally been canceled. Rejoice Teen Drama addicts! Although, it's not over yet as there's still seven episodes left to recap and review for y'all, starting with 'Life's a Beach'. Which is an odd title because this episode starts on the beach with Liam telling Dixon and Navid that he wants to open a surf shop. Okay, everything sounds good, solid plan. Oh wait, it'll be a surf shop just for girls. I was liking this idea up until he said that because he has now cut out half the amount of people that he will be able to sell surfboards to. But later the surf shop idea turns into more of a brand so it's okay again as a brand seeks a wider audience. After Liam has told the guys this, he runs into a surfer chick, named Sydney, who wants to invest. Later, Dixon finds out that he is able to make a music video for Michaela but they need to work fast. Thankfully, Silver agrees and allows the music video to go ahead. For some reason, Silver and Michaela were kinda close in this episode. At Naomi's house, Mark holds a tasting party for just the girls and he reveals that he might be moving to New York because there's big opportunities there. Naomi isn't too happy when she hears about this. On the CU campus, Navid finds a bulletin for a major global marketing firm that is looking for a trainee. Campbell spots this so he tries to make Navid feel like he doesn't stand a chance. After the tasting party, Naomi tells Annie that she wants to pimp Adrianna out to Mark so he'll stay in Beverly Hills. Annie is totally against this and tries to convince Naomi that it's a bad idea. At Liam's surf shop, he's busy making Sydney a surfboard when she stops by so they decide to get busy.


The Carrie Diaries: Hush Hush Recap/Review


Everyone was keeping things 'Hush Hush' in 'The Carrie Diaries' this week. That's because there were so many secrets floating about, like Carrie's secret internship at 'Interview Magazine'. Which was going very well for our heroine who was really finding her place. At school though, Sebastian seeks out The Mouse so they can talk about how he wants to break up with Donna. Thus, Mouse spills that George and Carrie broke up. I think The Mouse and Sebastian are so funny together so I loved the majority of the scenes in this episode because they were in a lot together. Elsewhere, Maggie was keeping her secret from Walt still but he knows something's up. After school, Sebastian breaks up with Donna at the diner, she takes it surprisingly well. However, she asks him to wait until after the school's lock in to start telling people as she's the event organizer and she doesn't want her moment ruined. Back at 'Interview', Carrie has been roped into being a shoe model as no-one else can fit into the Manolo Blahniks. This was one of my favorite scenes because we got to see Carrie fall in love with her one true love, Manolo's. If you're a fan of the original 'Sex and the City' series then this was a big moment and there's another one coming later. Firstly though, Larissa gives Carrie the shoes and then invites her to a nightclub named 'Limelight'. Larissa has asked Carrie out the same night that the lock in is happening at school so she has the perfect excuse.

Pretty Little Liars: Out of Sight, Out of Mind Quick Review


I really enjoyed this week's episode of 'Pretty Little Liars' which is named 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind'. Firstly, Spencer finally told the other liars about Toby being a part of the 'A' Team which made us all very happy. However, Emily didn't want to believe that Toby is all bad so she went in search of him. Also, Aria is pulled into Hanna and Ashley's hit and run problems. Although, she does have her own problems as she was left in charge of Malcolm and he falls off the bed. Ezra seems to understand that parenting is hard but Aria thinks that things are getting hard in her relationship recently. Maybe she should start dating Wesley? I dunno... I would like that though. Meanwhile, Spencer is led to Toby's dead body in the woods but we don't see his face so I don't believe it's actually Toby. Spencer then gets admitted into the Radley as she's found mumbling in the woods. I thought this was really weird, why would they take her to the Radley instead of the hospital. This was a great episode though and there's only three episodes left of this season so I'm really excited to see what happens.

Overall episode score:-
'Out of Sight, Out of Mind' = A+

9O21O: Strange Brew Quick Thoughts


  Here's quick thoughts on this week's '9O21O' episode, 'Strange Brew':
  • This Liam and Annie thing is a pathetic ploy for more viewers and is way overdue.
  • Michaela is so annoying, have I said this before? If I have then it's because she's that annoying.
  • I still don't know what Silver and Adrianna want with a truck.
  • Wow, we haven't seen Naomi's hair this curly in years.
  • What makes Naomi think that Mark wants to move in with her?
  • I was actually hoping that Mark was gonna be a one episode only storyline.
  • Why is everyone acting like Annie is some great writer? I thought she always wanted to be an actress?
  • Question: "Which '9O21O' character, of all time, is the least relevant?" Answer: Navid.
  • At least the truck now factors into Silver and Adrianna's dreams, as it's now a movie truck but it's still a bad idea.
  • Mark is now moving in with Annie, funny because Naomi is gonna explode.
  • Why does Liam keep taking his shirt off?
  • I'm getting a headache.
  • Naomi needs to stop trying so hard.
  • I wish Liam had real ambitions.
  • Is Liam allowed to brew beer? He's still underage...
  • Mark doesn't know who Hanson is? He has led a very awful life.
  • I feel like Naomi should have consulted Mark when she invited one hundred people to the restaurant opening.
  • Speaking of, how did this restaurant open so fast?
  • Where did Vanessa go? She was the only good character.
  • Campbell sucks.
  • Silver shouldn't be angry if Michaela wants to sing. She should sing without the touring.
  • Naomi has an allergy and we've never heard of it? This show is ridiculous.
  • It's really weird how Silver still lives in Kelly's garage but we don't ever see Kelly. It's weird and annoying.
  • Annie should just come clean instead of dragging the Lannie even more.
It's sad but I'm counting down the episodes until this season is over. It's just so boring and stupid and I want it to be done.

Overall episode score:-
'Strange Brew' = D- 

The Carrie Diaries: Caught Recap/Review


'Caught' is the title of this week's episode of 'The Carrie Diaries' as most of the characters were caught in some kind of sticky situation. Also, this episode was perfection, the only downside is that there was no Walt this week. However, there is a lot of Carrie and George getting hot and heavy at her internship while the girls discuss their love lives at the diner. We learn that a dance is coming up and Carrie isn't sure if she should ask George or not. Additionally, she feels like there might be something else there with Sebastian. Donna squashes that theory though when she thanks Carrie for taking Sebastian in for Thanksgiving. If Sebastian really did like Carrie then he wouldn't have told Donna about Thanksgiving but he did so she asks George to the dance. Later at the Bradshaw house, tickets arrive for The Nutcracker which is something that Dorrit and her mom used to do together but Carrie thinks it would be better for Tom to take Dorrit this year. The next day in New York, Larissa shows Carrie her purse in 'Interview Magazine' and she then offers Carrie an internship. Obviously Carrie is on the fence because she already has an internship at the law firm but I think she should totally take the Interview job!
