I understand why Ricky and Gina shippers are convinced S3 will be a romantic exploration for their ship b/c so many of the newest sneak peeks may suggest this (and the fact they've been content starved since 2.06. I get it. I do😅). However, I can't stop thinking about this moment:
Tumblr media
Do y'all see how happy and playful Ricky is with EJ here? If you told S1 EJ and Ricky they'd be having a pillow fight someday they would have laughed in your face!😂 I just love how far they've come from where they started on the show. I would never claim that Ricky and EJ are the best of friends, because I don't believe that to be true, but you can't deny that they certainly started to really become friends by S2, esp 2.10 when Ricky tried to be there for EJ by helping him solve his problem. EJ seems to be wearing the same jacket from the trailer when he and Gina have what looks like another heart to heart (where he says he's "freaking out"). I believe that's 3.03, where Ricky and Gina go on a “spooky adventure” (or something like that). The very fact that Ricky is behaving this playfully with someone who he used to consider an enemy is major. In S1, Ricky very obviously tried to put a wedge between Nini and EJ b/c he wanted Ejini to break up so that he could get back t/g with her. Two seasons later, and what looks like could be the most fun he's had in a long time, I get the feeling Ricky isn't gonna try to cause intentional drama for Portwell. I actually think the fictional Corbin Bleu's character is going to cause more intentional drama this season for the Wildcats, including PW in 3.04/3.05 (I think those are the episodes):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do you see how satisfied Corbin looks at whatever drama is unfolding? I think he really wants his documentary to be juicy and drama-filled, hence Ricky seemingly storming off out of rehearsals, and EJ following after him while Ashlyn looks worried about what she's seeing. Channing is clearly following all the drama with his camera, which makes me think Corbin intentionally pushed some buttons for Gina, EJ, and Ricky, but again, it's not Ricky intentionally trying to come between PW. I think this scene may follow the above:
Tumblr media
You see how EJ initially looks happy as he approaches Ricky, then his smile drops when he sees Gicky playing around with that paper? I think it's possible he walked out after Ricky to try to comfort him after some drama Corbin started, but then he sees this scene play out in front of him, and maybe something (an insecurity, for example🤔) Corbin touched on earlier in the rehearsal space affects EJ in this moment. I think this might be Ricky just continuing to have fun during his summer, not trying to cause problems b/t PW. He and Gina are friends again, which puts them in a good place (which I was hoping for after S2😔). This might be Ricky just having fun with his friends, like with EJ in that pillow fight LOL 🤣but EJ misinterprets what he sees. Again, his girlfriend and the guy she used to have feelings for are playing romantic leads. EJ might be afraid history will repeat itself, but I doubt it. I feel S3 will have a diff outcome...*cough cough* Portwell Love Confession *cough cough*😉
Also, let’s stop acting like EJ will do anything to ruin his relationship with Gina (jealousy rising or otherwise). 🤦🏽‍♀️Did we forget what Gina said about him in 2.08? Let me remind you:
Tumblr media
Y'all really going to tell me this don't sound like foreshadowing for their journey in S3? Just like Mitchie in Camp Rock 2 and Troy in HSM2, I guarantee you EJ will lose sight of what's really important to him for a bit, before coming back around at the end of the season by doing what's right and remembering his priorities (like his promise for this to be the "best summer ever" in 3.01)). Mitchie and Troy made similar promises at the beginning of their summers to Shane and Gabriella, before conflict rises mid way, then settles/gets resolved again by the end of their summers. That’s my prediction anyway. 🤷🏽‍♀️
(I should be writing up the 6 reports I have due soon, yet here I am. The power of Portwell. 😅 )

Can I just say, y'all can miss me with all that
Jet = Introvert
Maddox = Extrovert
Like y'all homegirl's friendly but avoids people and feels like they cursed her whole bloodline. Jet seeks out people, actively once he gets over his whole ' camp sucks, theater suck, life sucks ' attitude. Even if he's not talking he still hangs around them in the group where Maddox consistently separates herself. Jet only leaves in response to tension with his sister.
Episode 1 - Admittedly where the first impressions happen.
Jet: arrives at camp, and immediately goes to the cabin where he interacts with roommates. Hangs out with other people nearby. Stands by the crowd despite knowing he doesn't care about the events of the summer, and not being required to (assuming Val is absent as a choice rather than a flight delay)
Maddox: does her specific duties and sets up stage. Takes a letter to the office instead of showing Ashlyn where it is. Songs the welcome song and then goes off stage to work tech then stand alone, not rejoining the crowd. Goes to the office for unknown amount of time.
Episode 2: ( the whole episode has everyone in an environment where Maddox is, whom Jet is pointedly avoiding )
Jet: avoids camp activities and leaves once he does show because Maddox is there and it's awkward. Notices that 'Maddie's new friends' immediately flock to talk to him and leaves.
Maddox: wakes up early and leaves to get the bugle to play the wake up call, helps set up, but is alone on the sides for every exercise. Preps hair/makeup alone, resists help, stands off by the curtains until arguments start and then jumps in to save EJ. Returns to standing off to the side and behind the group when Jet shows up. Leaves after dinner to the woods to set up newbie night, spends long enough out there to worry Gina.
Episode 3:
Jet: goes to the spot in the woods he knows Maddox frequents and finds Ricky. Immediately spills all his business with his struggle with his parents and his music burn-out. Talks about his home life and medication changes, his grades, ect. Spends the night suddenly being personable and cheery with this total stranger he found at the shrine. Sees that he upset his sister and goes after her.
Maddox: wakes up early and checks cameras from her office, sets up the tent kits, calls Carlos out on his shit and then goes off alone. Briefly flirts with ashlyn then leaves when she is gloriously shot down. Infodumps about the forest and completely missed Kourtney's objections sets up her tent, presumably alone, as she has to be able to leave to scare campers. Starts to fill her role as the storyteller but gets insecure and leaves to the corner of the woods that only she and Jet can consistently find.
Episode 4:
Jet: (absent due to aforementioned Maddie hates me complex) when he does come back it is immediately to the crowded movie room rather than his cabin.
Maddox: panic over missing brother. Sits apart from everyone and thinks intently, due to missing brother. Learns he went home and is not lost in the woods. Goes to build sets and let the campers paint them. Notices Ashlyn and instantly tries to redirect. Spends roughly 30 secs before realizing she said literally anything about her personal life and leaves. Meets up with Ash at the movie, but does not move to follow her to the seats, staying by herself on the wall. Asks EJ if he's fine briefly, but then continues alone to wherever. I assume her spot in the woods.
Episode 5:
Jet: actively participates in the morning meeting, does his part in the exercises. Opens up about his issues with Maddox to Ricky. Goes off to sing the best song.
Maddox: is silent at the meeting until she performs obligatory mlm/wlw hostility to Carlos. Awkwardly attempts to look bad at her job and more emotional than she is. Reveals exactly #1 fact about her (she owns a dog, who is not dead). Stands off to the side and frequently walks off. Accidentally reveals #1 more fact and God forbid a single minute full of inner thoughts and then tears out of the barn like a bat out of hell. Goes to the barn that she thinks is empty ( I hc to get the things she left in there earlier so she can then run away and go home, but stops when she hears Jet)
Episode 6:
Jet: makes a point to be a part of the action. Tell Ricky why Maddie is so pissed at him. Give more insight to their homelife. Cheers on Kourtney when Maddox has wandered off or something. Goes back to the cabin with Ricky in it and harasses him briefly.
Maddox: tudors Gina in camp. Gina straight up asks her to open up the response is 'brothers, amiright?'. does some of the events but also just kind of disappears from some of them. Brief return of the flirty Maddie with Gina during it's on. Instantly exits the crowd once they won and stands by herself.
Episode 7:
Jet: joins Ricky's birthday snack fest. Goes to the Honeycomb to talk to Maddie. Goes off to find Ricky and the others once he gets sort of called on inviting the ex to the dance. Stands up and sings before joining the boys with the post prom traditions.
Maddox: gets up early enough to be fully dressed when the others are still getting ready. Talks to Jet then Madison alone for most of the night. Enters the dance for the final song. Tells the barest explanation for their issues. Goes to the cabin that she thinks is empty to be alone. Stands apart from the other two while supporting Kourt. Gives close friend EJ a half-assed shrug answer to her relationship with Madison.
Episode 8:
Jet: has full integrated with the wildcats at this point.
Maddox: also mostly included, but tends to hover to the side or to stand by one person. Goes to leave with EJ before Corbin sings. Waits for everyone else before signing the wall. Does not join the curtain call. ( My school always had the cast feature the crew once ensemble takes a bow )

dewey and the wildcats are standing around a broken mug.
dewey: so....
dewey: who broke it?
dewey: I'm not mad, I just want to know.
Everyone else: ....
Maddox: I did, I broke it.
dewey who knows Maddox couldn't have broken it because she was with him when it happened: No, no you didn't.
dewey pointing at ricky: you?
Ricky: Don't look at me.
Ricky: Look at EJ.
EJ: What?
EJ: I didn't break it.
Ricky: Huh, that's weird.
Ricky: How'd you even know it was broken?
EJ: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.
Ricky: Suspicious
EJ: No, it's not!
Ricky: ( ̄ヘ ̄)ummmm
kourtney: If it matters, probably not, but Carlos was the last one to use it.
Carlos: Liar, I don't even drink that crap.
kourtney: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Carlos: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that! kourtney!!!
Maddox: ok Okay, let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it.
dewey: no.
dewey: Who broke it?
Everyone looking at each other with suspicion:....
Carlos: jet's been awfully quiet.
Jet: oh really!
Carlos: yeah
Ashlyn: I mean It could Have been val.
Val: what!
Maddox: come on can't we just have one normal day.
They all start arguing on what they were doing at the time. Meanwhile channing listening in while filming in the other room.
channing: I broke it.
channing: It burned my hand so I punched it.
Channing: I predict 10 minutes from now, they'll be at each others' throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.
Channing: Good. Good stuff for the behind the scenes. It was getting a little chummy around here.

I have about 10 different asks sitting in my inbox regarding the “leaks” for S3, and I finally found some time to address them today. Instead of answering each ask one by one, I’m just gonna address all those concerns/questions in this post. If you are one of the several anons who’s sent me an ask about the “leaks,” and have been patiently waiting for an answer, keep reading! This is the only time I will address the “leaks” b/c I think it’s best to just wait and see what happens at this point. (Typing this up from my laptop, so I apologize for the length of this post...hehe) 
To start, I’m so sorry if you’ve been waiting a while for a reply. July has been hectic for me. Thank you for ur patience! A few things before I start: I won’t tag Ricky and Gina’s ship in the main tag b/c I assume they may not want to read my thoughts on the matter (which is totally fair! LOL) I think I’ll start tagging Gicky instead from now on b/c that’s also a combo of their names and so I can keep my own blog organized in some way. Also, my thoughts on the “leaks” are less from a Portwell stan’s point of view and more so from my thoughts as an English major in undergrad and grad school. I will try my best not to insert my own bias here. I’m simply looking at the story that’s being told on the show and the evidence.  
Yes, I have seen the “leaks,” both the Twitter thread and the screenshots/“script” from back in April/May. And no, I will not share any of that with anyone b/c I promised the person who was kind enough to share it with me that I wouldn’t do that. That being said, lemme get into it! 
Is anyone really surprised S3 would have another semi-formal event given S1′s HoCo episode (1.05) and S2′s quinceñero (2.05)? We all shoulda known S3 would follow that trend, so I’m not surprised by 3.07 apparently being another dance/formal event, “Camp Prom” I believe is the name. What corroborates “Camp Prom” is the actual evidence to back it up. The screenshots for this are actual pics from crew on set while they were filming, which show colorful 70s-themed décor. It’s not just someone’s words that’s taken as truth, there’s legit posts from crew on their Instagrams. All that confirms is that there will be a dance at camp (which seems so fun! Can’t wait to see it.) The only reason the “leaker” was right about that is b/c of the crew’s behind the scenes pics.
The “leaker” claims Ricky and Gina “have a great moment together” in the prom episode and that they “make eye contact across the room” at some point. I can see how one would easily assume this scenario to mean something romantic for Ricky and Gina, but just b/c 2 characters “share a moment” together doesn’t inherently make it a romantic scene. BTW, the “leaker” never claims Gicky “almost kiss” at prom, they only said what’s stated above. There’s a screenshot of part of the alleged script for “Camp Prom” that claims they “almost kiss.” I have several issues with this “script,” starting with the font used. I’ve seen plenty of official scripts from other shows (Riverdale and SPOP in particular) and even from Tim himself. They all have the exact same font and font size (no idea what that font type is called, but all shows/movies in the industry seems to use it. It must be standard practice b/c that font is sorta boxy and spaced out, making it easier for actors to read). Tim’s even shared part of the script for 1.06 before, and the font used is very different from this “script” from 3.07. I’m not claiming Ricky and Gina won’t share a moment in 3.07, I just highly doubt it’s an almost kiss. This “script” goes from Jet and Maddox on stage, to the coat check area where Gina “spills her bag” before her and Ricky allegedly almost kiss. There is no description for what Gina does after her “bag spills.” It just says she and Ricky “almost kiss” immediately after that. That makes no sense. Any person would be fumbling to put stuff back into their bag if everything spills out. This “script” is missing so much context, on top of being the wrong font and font size, that it makes me question it’s legitimacy. Seems pretty fake to me. Also, anyone notice how none of the “leaks” have ever stated anything specifically about Portwell? All these “leaks” seem to be in favor of only one ship (Gicky), yet official releases for S3, such as posters, the trailer, the “It’s On” music vid, etc, have continually presented Portwell as a team. I’m not saying Gina and EJ won’t be dealing with couple drama in S3, of course they will, but I doubt S3 will be the end for them.
One of the anons bring up Channing and Corbin filming Gicky during rehearsals for the musical for the documentary, and EJ possibly seeing that footage as the director. That’s deff a solid theory b/c the show could do that to add more drama. But here’s the problem. If Gina and Ricky are the leads in the musical, they would be playing romantic interests. Just like in S1, EJ will be in the exact same position in S3 where his girlfriend is playing romantic leads with a guy she has/had feelings for. By S1′s finale, EJ accepts Nini’s decision in choosing Ricky and truly lets her go (which is a moment he’s “really proud of” (2.10)). He learns a lesson in S1 about letting someone go and putting their interests before his own. In 1.04-1.06, EJ was still trying to win Nini back and hold on to their relationship, even when she was clearly done. However, thanks to character growth (and a certain someone! *ahem* Gina) EJ does the right thing. What would be the point in having EJ placed in the same situation as S1 again, where his girlfriend and the guy she has a past with are playing romantic leads, and have him go thru that rejection again? With the same other guy (Ricky) no less? There’s no point in EJ learning the same lesson from S1 again cuz he already went thru that. Don’t ya’ll think the writers know this? I think the more likely story that will be told in S3 is EJ having to confront his past insecurities with Nini, and how that affects his present relationship with Gina. The writers may have set up what seems like the same story from S1, but I’m pretty sure there will be a different outcome in S3. Doesn’t make sense to repeat the same lesson of rejection for EJ’s character in S1 in S3. There should be another important lesson to be learned here for EJ, such as someone other than himself actually wanting to “hold onto what they had over the summer” (1.04). Nini couldn’t do that for him unfortunately, due to the feelings she clearly still had for Ricky in S1. EJ was always gonna be a rebound for Nini b/c she was just trying to move on from Ricky over the summer he broke up with her. Gina, on the other hand, waited several months, during which she was actively moving on from her romantic feelings for Ricky, before she even considered being more than friends with EJ. 
That doesn’t mean Ricky and Gina shouldn’t have a convo or two in S3 to clear the air b/t them, and work on rebuilding their friendship. This may very well lead to Gicky sharing moments this season, but I’m not convinced they'll be romantic moments. Every time EJ witnessed or suspected s/t going on b/t Ricky and Nini in S1, he was actually right. While he did NOT handle it in the right way, his suspicions were correct (esp in 1.02 w/ Ricky and Nini sharing a moment on stage/voicemail and even in 1.04 where Nini and Ricky almost kiss the same day she broke up with EJ). Having already gone thru that with Nini and Ricky, why would the show make EJ live thru that again with Gina and Ricky? Unless....there’s a different outcome! (That being EJ seeing Gina and Ricky interact and actually having to confront his insecurities this time instead of just being on the defensive. Who’s to say this won’t lead to more honest conversations b/t Portwell? Better yet, EJ and Ricky having the conversation they never really had in S1, where Ricky really overstepped certain boundaries in EJ’s relationship and Ricky comes to terms with that now. What if Ricky acknowledges his wrongs in the past and chooses to want a more genuine friendship/comradery with EJ this time? Just a thought.)
Last thing, S3 is confirmed to be only 8 episodes. The writers spent 8 episodes in S2 having EJ and Gina just flirt with each other. I doubt Portwell will date and break up (and stay broken up) in the same season they just started dating. They even set up the strong possibility for a Portwell love confession someday b/c of the following allusions to love in regard to Gina and EJ: (2.06) EJ would ask his future self if “he could learn to love anyone after Belle,” then takes a seat right next to Gina [visual foreshadowing]; (2.08) Howie singing, “No lesson could teach me how I could have loved her and make her love me too” as EJ takes care of Gina while she sleeps by placing his Duke hoodie over her; and (2.11) Ricky and Ashlyn singing “Something There,” a love song about 2 ppl unexpectedly falling for each other while Gina and EJ send e/o hearteyes thruout the performance (at least 3 times!). When writing a story, like the writers for the show, you include these subtle/indirect hints, like love in relation to Portwell in S2, in order to bring that concept back up again in a more apparent way. I couldn’t help but notice the set up in S2 for a Portwell love confession, but there’s a clear lack of a set up for an EJ/Gina/Ricky love triangle. By S1 finale, we knew Gina still had feelings for Ricky, hence the somewhat awkward moments b/t them in the dressing room after “Stick to the Status Quo” performance and their hallway convo before “Breaking Free,” which was the writers setting up Gina’s storyline for S2. She was obviously still grappling with her feelings for Ricky, hence the S2 promo posters placing Ricky b/t Nini and Gina b/c he was gonna be an important part of both their stories that season. It was a love triangle -adjacent situation. In contrast, S2 does not set up a Gicky/Portwell love triangle by the finale. The writers have already set the foundation for a Portwell love confession and a long-awaited conversation b/t Ricky and Gina to restart their friendship. I am hoping that happens with Ricky realizing how poorly he treated Gina in S2, apologizing for it, and wanting to be good friends again.
Bottom-line, let’s all stop acting like the writers are gonna fuck it all up just for the sake of drama. EJ and Gina’s stories (both individually and together) have been wonderfully written so far (the writers going as far as paralleling PW’s first moment ever in 1.01- with EJ watching Gina from the wings with mutual respect for her as a performer, to their 2.11 moment- with EJ proudly watching Gina from the wings, tenderly admiring the kind of person she is. See here for gifs!) This show even brought in not one but two different guest stars to help further develop Portwell’s relationship in S2. Just sayin’. 
I see it this way: Gina and Ricky should be having positive interactions again in S3, esp after S2, and I’m hopeful for their renewed friendship again. And, if EJ and Gina don’t have their love confession this season, that’s deff something to look forward to in S4! Let’s face it, PW love confession is on the horizon, and the writers have set it up that way.

I think it’s kinda hilarious that when Channing had to create drama in the trailer for Carlos, he basically tried to paint Carlos as a cheater because he could create no drama between Carlos and the rest of the cast.

Ok I know the whole 'gay people wear layers' is a known stereotype, and there are several style gags that also code for lesbianism, but this is extreme.
Maddox is wearing:
Denim Jacket with drawn on pictures
Vest that's hanging open
Loose Graphic T-shirt
Buttondown that's also plaid
Our girl could literally lose four straight rounds of strip poker, only removing tops and still be PG-13 appropriate.
Your honor, she stupid and I love her.
