Who Is Mary Hopkins, Anyway?
By Jacob Isom
The W.E., Whit's new Whit's End, was the
beginning of their relationship. Mary Hopkins and John Avery Whittaker had
no idea what they were dealing with... or did they?
All of us know that Whit certainly doesn't
know what is happening around Odyssey, but what about Mary? Does she have a
deeper reason for building a new Whit's End in Connellsville than we all
think? How is Mr. Whittaker supposed to take this all in?
Mary Hopkins conveniently stopped into Whit's
End at a time when Whit needed her most. John had just finished the "new
look" for Whit's End. Many Adventures in Odyssey fans were probably thankful
that Mary dropped in to tell Whit that his older Whit's End was a timeless
thing that no one became tired or sick of. But when she began complaining
and complaining to Whit in an episode called "Chains," fans double-crossed
Mary. Most AIO fans saw Mary Hopkins as a wet blanket to the Novacom
mini-series, me included.
Which also gets to me... Mary said that she
had been to Whit's End before. What is up with that? If that is the case,
then why didn't Whit see her come in to have a look around the shop a few
months ago? Is Mary a lier? Is she somehow linked to the break-in at Whit's
End and this AREM fellow? Only time will tell.
Looks can be deceiving. Yes, Mary seems nice
enough. She owns a children's bookstore called "Mary's Story Shop." But what
if that is a front to cover up what's really going on? I sure hope that Whit
doesn't become too attached to Mary, because I fear that AIO will have them
get married. To tell you the truth, Whit was better off with Margaret Faye!
As we all wonder and second guess ourselves,
we need to keep in mind that whatever happens could be a good thing, and a
bad thing. I'm sure AIO has some new storylines coming up with Mary Hopkins,
the seemingly mysterious woman at this time.
