Lauren Smith and the past tense

Blythe "Betty ... Baxter?"

Roger "Well, that was her name after she married me. Before that, her last name was Smith."

Blythe says "Mom's name was Lauren" when Roger refers to her mom as Betty (he clarifies Betty was her nickname as a kid when she owned Speedy Shellberg). This speaking about her in the past tense kinda implies that her mother is dead, but does anyone know if there are any other indications of that, perhaps clearer ones? I'm not sure if past tense would be enough to make this claim on Wikipedia. I mean I guess there could be some other weird explanation like Blythe's mom changing her name from Lauren to Lisa or something, but that seems less plausible. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 21:41, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Yes, this is canon. See https://twitter.com/jmccah/status/666279203357110272 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arzg (talk • contribs) 05:45, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Emma Hart and Stephanie

In season 4 Roger is shown thanking a woman her refers to as "Steph" then "Stephanie" for "taking the landing" indicating she is his co-pilot.

Our entry for Emma Hart indicates in her season 2 appearance that she is the daughter of Roger's co-pilot.

Would this happen to be Stephanie? Is the co-pilot mother of Emma referred to by name in Emma's appearances? Is she depicted so we could compare her appearance to Steph?

It is possible for pilots to have multiple co-pilots or for them to change over time so I don't want to jump to any conclusions here but just wondering if Stephanie might be Stephanie Hart or something. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 20:35, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Romantic pairing hints

Is there a way to neutrally mention some aspects of what the show displays in relation to this sort of thing while keeping it reliably sourced and not engaging in too much speculation? Like we could simply collect 'symptoms' and not interpret them unless a reliable source does that and a conclusion can be cited?

I don't remember much of older episodes so I can only comment on what I've observed recently in season 4:

• Russell tells a story where all the girls are in love with another guy (a bat) and he has to interfere with it to save them
• Pepper tells a horror story where Penny portrays someone who has affections for her that are undesired
• Penny hits Sunil when he is doing heart-eyes over a female cat
• Sunil tells a story where he is Dr. Frankenstein, but he creates Buttercream as Bride of Frankenstein for Vinny as Frankenstein's Monster
• Russell imagines saving Penny as a damsel

I can't recall anything with Zoe except when she was after some french dog in a previous season, and nothing at all with Minka.

None of this seems all that consequential, much as fans might latch on to some of it. Some stuff from previous seasons might hold greater weight though. A YouTube comment I read mentioned something about Russell having a crush on Penny in a previous season, for example, but I don't know what episode that refers to. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 08:25, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

No, we cannot "collect" what you believe are "symptoms" and engage in "not...too much" speculation. No, we cannot use some anonymous user's comment on YouTube for anything.

Unless relationships are explicitly and unambiguously presented in the show or discussed at length in independent reliable sources, the material (speculation) does not belong here. - SummerPhD^v2.0 16:06, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

My bringing up the YT comment is only highlighting why I'm asking if this is referred to in an episode, I'm not talking about using comments as references. You can certainly use anonymous comments to jog memories or get a vague idea of where to look for a cite, just so long as one is located.

Belief of things as symptoms isn't consequential, just presenting facts which occur is what I am talking about. For example in "Spendthrifty" Penny says of a doll "she's almost as adorable as I am" and Sunil follows up with "and that is saying quite a lot". Isn't this Sunil clearly inferring that Penny is adorable? 184.145.18.50 (talk) 15:32, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

If you would like to collect individual facts, such as that comment (and your interpretation), a blog would be a great place to do so. Unless independent reliable sources collect such facts (and come to such conclusions), adding it here would be synthesis. If we did such things, nearly every article on a TV show, movie, novel or play would become hopeless piles of lists of "facts" aimed at showing various characters are romantic pairings and similar things fans speculate about. Sorry, it simply does not belong here. - SummerPhD^v2.0 16:31, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Regarding "Penny hits Sunil when he is doing heart-eyes over a female cat", that doesn't mean Penny likes Sunil. Penny could just be annoyed by Sunil's behavior. On the flip side, if Penny and Sunil have declared themselves a couple, or have discussed in length how they like each other to their friends or to each other then that can be cited with "cite episode". I would also avoid statements about characters being loyal to their friends family or teammates as that's a given. And it seems like the characters tell lots of stories but unless they are consistently pairing the same friends over and over in their stories and hinting romance from it, they are just role-playing.

Removing trivial characters

Hi all. Littlest Pet Shop is a heavily ensemble-based show, introducing a new one-off character in most(?) episodes. Thus, after 100 episodes of the show, this page has accumulated quite a bit of cruft. As these trivial characters are non-notable, I have removed them. If there is a particular character which you would like to restore, by all means do so: just get the relevant source from the page history :) I may have hastily removed a character that should have stayed.

Sunil Nevla

The article should be all about Sunil! 2600:4040:1294:6000:D1DD:3A95:D7C0:EC5 (talk) 23:05, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
