Excellent topic, Monica Stone!
One of them I can remember involved Jay Smouse. I was very sad when Jay left for Hollywood and stopped appearing in episodes for a long time. I hoped that he would come back and even wrote fanfiction about it. You can imagine my excitement when Jay returned to the show in the Club episodes “There and Back Again” and later returned to Odyssey in “Sir Buddy’s Snowy Day”. To this day, I am very pleased that Jay is alive and well and is back appearing in episodes.
Apart from that, I can’t think of many others. Not many of my predictions have come true
(yet). I’ve had plenty of predictions that were completely debunked, though!
There have been lots of other people whose predictions and desires came true. I was looking through some old topics here on the Soda Shop and found there have been some predictions that have become realities. Check these out:
In the topic “AIO’s Future”, someone suggested Eugene and Katrina adopt Buck, and here’s the conversation that took place:

Maybe Eugene & Katrina will adopt Buck. You think?
Anyone with me on this?

I could possibly see that, or at least fostering him for a while.
I hope not. Buck & Eugene = Trouble.

Which would make for some interesting episodes, don't you think? Conflict is what makes life interesting.
They predicted it!!

This was in 2012, years before the Odyssey team planned Buck’s return in album 58!
Later in that topic, the members expressed their desires for Whit’s End Connellsville:

The last we heard Ed Washington is the manager, but we haven't heard from that shop since the hiatus.
I sure hope it comes back soon.
This happened some years later, in the album 65 episode “The Toy”. Another prediction which actually took place in the show (even if it came back for only one episode)!
And of course, in several other places on the Soda Shop, I saw people wishing that Wooton and Penny to get married, which is now a reality.
Although not many of my predictions that I can remember have become reality, it is fun to read the predictions of others that came true. I'm sure there are tons of others across different Odyssey websites.
