where did the facts come from?

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

There are some well established facts about Nick and Greg, that 'everybody' writes in their stories. For some of the facts, I wonder where they originally came from. So I ask you here, do you know the origin of these facts (please name the episode if there is any…)?

1. Greg having fish.
2. Nick being a cop in Dallas before moving to LV.
3. Bobby being gay and having a daughter.
4. Greg’s car…

For the Gregory Hojem Sanders fact: (I have also used this one in one of my stories), but the truth is, Grissom says in let the seller beware: "your mother's middle name is Hojem..." indicating that Greg in fact is not having that name.

Hm.. that is all I can think of right now. I probably remember a few more things as soon as I have posted…

I know that number 3 came from a planned storyline that CSI was going to do. Not a major one, but basically Bobby was supposed to meet his partner and his daughter in the show. I don't know if it was linked to a case or if it were just a little human interest story, but it was advertised pretty heavily by Bobby (well, the guy that plays him).

However, the scene was eventually cut, which made him look foolish, but ah well. Fan fic writers take this to be a pretty canon thing now. It might happen in the future.

Oh. Thank you! Have always wondered about that! Since I live in Norway, I don't always get all the advertisment going on before the show!

Greg's car was pictured in the ep 'Early Rollout' that I know for sure. It was a VW Jetta(?), silver.

Greg's fish. I'm not sure that's canon, I think it well may be fanon, taking fromv an inspired author who wrote it first, I couldn't tell you.

Nick being cop. That is canon, listed in his bio created by the writers. Can't give you any examples of it being stated in an ep though. Sorry.

And as for Bobby being gay and having a daughter, that was going to be canon and even filmed for an ep but was pulled because CBS is too much of a huge wimp to portray gay people as anything other than a victim of a crime. *sigh* Maybe one day they'll actually have the balls to do it right.

Thank you!
Nick being a cop is NOT written in the official bio (just checked AGAIN).
Maybe it was earlier though, allthough I can't find it in any of the bio's I have ever had for my CSI site as well...

As for the Bobby story: Wish CBS would have the guts! Or better - wish they had written Greg/Nick as canon! :-)

[michigangirl30.livejournal.com]

Oh, well I found the info on Nick here : http://www.crimelab.nl/characters.php?series=1&lname=Stokes&fname=Nick

It looks just like the official bio, only better. : )

Actually it wasn't so much that they didn't have the guts to put it in so much as it was out of place and almost seemed like his daughter was going to be kidnapped or something, so they left it out not wanting to mislead people.

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

oh, the crimelab.nl
Well, the last part there is the official bio from the CBS sites, but the "background" part - I don't know.... But I think I have the siteowners email address somewhere, so I'll write her and ask where she found that! Maybe I should update the bio at http://www.csiforum.no as well :-)

Thank's for the information!
I'd like to have my stories as accurate as possible....

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
Wow - I love this place. I post some questions and the answers just pops up!
:-)

Grissom actually said that Gregs mothers Maiden name was Hojem not middle so it is possible that he may have used both last names. It also say Gregory Hojem Sanders in the CSI Companion book.

[cafpows.livejournal.com]

I love your icon, btw! I <3 that show.

[tzi.livejournal.com]

His mother's MAIDEN name is Hojem; not middle. Therefore, it's entirely possible (though how probable, who could say) that she chose to give her maiden name to her son as a middle name. My grandmother did that to my dad.

[el-gilliath.livejournal.com]

You know dagdrommer, I can't help but wonder if Greg's mother name was Højem... It does sound like it, in that weird norwegian way of ours...

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

did he really say maiden name? Hm... have to look at that eppy again. I never mind seeing that scene again...
woops - you are right, he said MAIDEN name. My misstake! I can't promisse I won't do them again, but at least I say when I am wrong!

Thank you!

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

yeah, I have been wondering about that my self... Højem or Høyem, but I searched Statistisk sentralbyrå, and the result is:
There is 207 people with the last name Hojem in Norway. So there is actually possible it might be. But I think it is a bit far-fetched that Grissom would know that it is a Norwegian name, when it is only 207 people by that name, and it is so little known that even us Norwegians don't think it exist!

They should have called him something else...

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

Yeah - I discovered. Sorry for my misstake. I actually have my mothers maiden name as a middle name (Only 22 people by that name in Norway - and therefor probably in the entire world).

[tzi.livejournal.com]

*grins* I hit reply before there were other responses, but I got distracted and obviously ended up posting a little after the fact #^_^# Daddy actually goes by his middle name, therefore his mom's last name. =D You wouldn't believe the number of people who ask whether or not they can name their kids after him. o_O

[michigangirl30.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, it's just what I heard (and suppose) since it was right around the time of the 'wardrobe malfunction' Janet Jackson had.

Either way, most people accept it as canon because how sweet is Bobby? You just know he'd be a great dad.

[tzi.livejournal.com]

But it's GRISSOM =D =D =D He knows all.

[tzi.livejournal.com]

Plus, Greg is a talker. So he's probably mentioned it before for some reason or another.

[ohmygah-x.livejournal.com]

I love your icon and your username =)

Who are those in your icon, anyway?

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

yeah - he does!
OMG - I can't even start to tell hum funny that scene is for us!
Greg's (eric's really) pronouncement of "Som man reder så ligger man"..
hahaha... it cracks me up each time! Bless him for trying anyway! He is so sweet! I think that was when I fell in love with Greg.

[el-gilliath.livejournal.com]

Hey, maybe that's why they picked Hojem, because it's so much easier to day than Hojem and all the rest. I have both my mom and my dad's name, but they're not married so I guess it's not that strange for me.

And it wouldn't suprise me at all if Greg mentioned it, he has such a runaway-mouth

[el-gilliath.livejournal.com]

He's gorgeous when he says that line. And the funtain scene... *cracks up*

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

yeah - funtain! Hehe!
OMG - thank you - that reminds me, I have to show that eppy to my friend. She still laugh after watching let the seller beware!

[el-gilliath.livejournal.com]

I wish everyone who watched CSI could be Norwegian just for that scene, so they could laugh over it... funtain... *snort*
