Doris Schwartz Time And Again Behind The Scenes Season 3

Spoiler Alert!

Well another Season of Doris Schwartz Time And Again has come to an end. For me it has been the most interesting and creatively fulfilling season so far. It's also been the most complicated to write.

At the end of the previous season I had a story arc running through multiple episodes and I was trying to incorporate more songs. I think I achieved this far more successfully in the latest season with songs and musical numbers in every episode. All the story runs throughout the whole season and not just a few episodes with lots of little things being referenced again in other episodes. We literally end up back where season 2 ended just from a different point of view and more clues to what was happening.  

Going into this season I knew I wanted end it focussed on a different character. Doris is great but I wanted to show how the events were seen from another point of view and how they affected that character. I had already decided that it was Leroy’s point of view I wanted to explore and that he would be the mysterious hooded figure suffocating Doris at the end of season 2. So, I began to plant the seeds for that storyline in season 2 and continued in the early episodes of season 3. Hopefully it didn't seem heavy handed and people didn't guess where it was going until the end. 

I originally thought that the final story would just be one episode and I mistakenly believed it would be easy just to cut and paste all the Leroy scenes from previous episodes and place them in some kind of order. How wrong I was everything needed to be rewritten from Leroy’s point of view and placed into a past tense. There was far more scenes than I thought there were. So  these episodes actually took longer to put together than a normal one. Eventually I realised that it was too long for just one episode and had to find a way to split the story into 2 parts. Even then if I could have found a way to split them further there was probably enough material for more episodes. 

People have often written and asked me to concentrate on other characters. That’s not an easy thing to do in this type of story because essentially it is all about Doris. However I was pleased that Nicole, Jesse, Dusty and Leroy had story arcs in this season. I will look to continue that in the 4th season.

I try to used as many characters and guests stars from the original show as possible, some work better than others. For all fans of Chris Donlon, I have to apologize because I really struggle to write for that character. He has been included throughout the seasons but he’s probably had the least to do. I don’t really see that changing any time soon but the other characters I work in as much as I can. I've already played a Bruno centered episode for next year. 

I'm glad to hear that people have been enjoying the story and am happy that people have found particular parts funny, emotional, creepy etc.. or it inspires people to go back and watch the original episodes referenced throughout the stories.  Hopefully that will all continue next year.

Next year sees us move into season 4, which will be the last season for this particular story. As much as I enjoy it I don;t see that I can make it any longer without just repeating the same story lines. So it fells better to end it. 

The first couple of episodes are already written and some to the plot lines are already in place. The final episode is already written in my head and I just need to find time to commit that to paper. I may actually write that next so I can see exactly where the story needs to get to and be able to plot the rest of the episodes. Anyway we will discover what has actually happened to Doris and why and also if she gets back home to her own time again or not!

"Here as I watch the ships go by,
I'm rooted to my shore,
I keep asking myself why,
And if there's more on the other side.

Here as I see the friends I thought I made,
A little bit crazed and knowing now,
We've outgrown one another.

Starmaker,
Dream breaker,
Soul taker.
We're happy now.

Now when I see the things I want,
I can take the things I see.
But I keep asking myself why,
And if there ain't just a little bit more for me.
Here when it's time to count the cost.
I keep measuring what I've lost,
And wondering if you knew.
It would all end up with you.

Starmaker,
Dream breaker,
Soul taker.
We're happy now.

Here as I watch the time go by.
How I'd like to sail away,
Leaving all my past behind.
But I know I'd only last for a couple of days.
Here stands everything I thought I made.
It's the only life I know,
And I can't even call it my own.
I've got no hope,
I belong to you.

Starmaker,
Dream breaker,
Soul taker,
We're happy now.
We're so happy now.

Starmaker,
Dream breaker,
Soul taker,
We're happy now.
We're so happy now."

I used to feel uninspired.
And when I knew I had to face another day.
Lord, it made me feel so tired.
Before the day I met you, 
life was so unkind.
But your love was the key,
to peace of mind.

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, 
You make me feel like a natural woman.

When my soul was in the lost-and-found.
You came along to claim it.
I didn't know just what was wrong with me.
Till your kiss helped me name it.
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for.
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more.

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, 
You make me feel like a natural woman.

Oh, baby, what you've done to me.
You make me feel so good inside.
And I just want to be close to you.
You make me feel so alive.

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, 
You make me feel like a natural woman."

'Cause I still believe in me.

I'll find an unbreakable heart,
To help me get through this part.
And I swear, I'll never rest,
Till I am standing up there with the very best.
Oh but there's no heart that wont break,
And some times its a heartache.

But I still believe in all of my dreams,
And all that I can be.

Do all that it takes to make it eventually.
Coz I still believe, I still believe,

But I still believe in all of my dreams,
And all that I can be.

"My friends say I'm a fool, it doesn't matter.
They don't see you as I do.
You're the image of perfection standing there,
With your somewhat studied pose and your very uptown nose.
But I know you'll never hurt me,
And you surely won't desert me,
And I love ya, though everybody stares.

Mannequin,
I love your frozen grin.
Mannequin,
You got it all over most humans.
You're insistent, not too persistent
Mannequin.

I've been in love with colder woman,
but they don't turn me on.
But the first time I saw you standing there,
I could see you had some charm.
And you could really turn it on.
It's a love so warm and tender,
Oh, the joy of sweet surrender.
I love ya, I love ya, I do.

Mannequin,
I love your frozen grin,
Mannequin,
You got it all over most humans,
You're insistent, not too persistent,
Mannequin.

I love ya, I love ya, I do.

Mannequin,
I love your frozen grin.
Mannequin,
You got it all over most humans.
You're insistent, not too persistent,
Mannequin.

I love ya, Mannequin!"

"Every day is a great day for carnival. 
Little girls and little boys are having fun. 
And there'll be dancing in the streets.
Ain't no telling who you'll meet.
Every day is a great day for carnival. 

Every day is a great day for carnival.
Yeah! So come on, everybody. Have some fun.
And if you stay a little while.
You'll be dancing in style.
Every day is a great day for carnival.

(Yee-ha!)
(Aah! Samba!)

And everybody will stand high
As the carnival is passing by.
Every day is a great day for carnival.

There will be dancing in the streets.
Ain't no telling who you'll meet.
Every day is a great day for carnival.
Every day is a great day for carnival.

(Five, Six, Everybody Samba!)

Carnival, Carnival, Carnival, Carnival! 
Every day is a great day for carnival.
So come on, everybody. Have some fun.
And if you stay a little while.
You'll be dancing in style.
Every day is a great day for carnival
Carnival!"

Hello - Instrumental - Karaoke Version

"Hello" - Instrumental/Karaoke Version.


"I've been alone with you Inside my mind,
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips A thousand times.
I sometimes see you Pass outside my door.
Hello! Is it me you're looking for? 
I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile.
You're all I've ever wanted And my arms are open wide.
'cause you know just what to say And you know just what to do.
And I want to tell you so much I love you.

I long to see the sunlight in your hair,
And tell you time and time again How much I care.
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow.
Hello! I've just got to let you know.
'cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely? Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue.
But let me start by saying I love you.

Hello! Is it me you're looking for? 
'cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely? Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue 
But let me start by saying I love you."

"It's no big deal to call the coast, when you're in L.A.
Now you might feel that it's the most, but it just ain't that way. 
Hollywood's no mystery when it's just up the street. 
And meeting stars ain't no big deal 'cause stars are all you meet. 

And the show must go on and on and on. 
You've heard it all before, but here's a new one. 
If it's hot, we'll take a shot and make a deal. 
'Cause the show must go on and on and on. 

Touching fame by dropping names is the game you gotta play. 
I just wrote the hook of life. It's a killer tune, you'll say. 
I spoke to Paul and Linda, but they might not have heard. 
My full page spread in billboard is scheduled August 3rd. 

And the show must go on and on and on. 
You've heard it all before, but here's a new one. 
If it's hot, we'll take a shot and make a deal. 
Does anybody ever know how anybody feels? 

And the show must go on. 
But no one cares unless you're number one. 
And the show must go on and on and on. 
And the show must go on and on."

"My Friends With Good Intentions,
All look at me and say,
Going around in circles,
In a crazy kind of game.
Always there to catch me,
If I'm falling on my Face.
Running to my rescue,
When I'm not ready to be saved.

They can't imagine finding,
a more unlikely pair.
You so full of mystery and
Me So Unaware.
But I knew when I saw you,
that there judgement wasn't fair.
For you to give your heart away,
Is Something beautiful and rare.

Love takes time this much I know,
Oh Love needs time, to grow and grow.
It can close just like a violet,
Or open like a rose.  

I never thought I'd find someone,
Who'd make me feel this way.
For once my mind is listening,
to what my heart can say.
If ever I get lost,
And My World is full of rain,
Just one look into your eyes,
And I'll be home Again.

Love takes time this much I know,
Oh Love needs time, to grow and grow.
It can close just like a violet,
Or open like a rose. "
