Jubilee Creek

JUBILEE CREEK (TV series, slang)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


DEFINITION

Jubilee Creek is a term used to describe the non-ceasing activities that occur between a group of people. Its origins can be rooted back in 2000, when the term "Jawson's Creek" was used to describe the life of a certain classmate. Since then, it has gone through a series of transformations (see "Jubilee Nights") to where it is now.

A season of Jubilee Creek lasts a year long and experiences highs and lows depending on the activity. From a blooming romance to a tearful goodbye, one can expect that in Jubilee Creek, something is always going on.

TAG LINE

SERIES RUN

Since its awkward inception in 2000, Jubilee Creek has continually produced on-going drama for 7 seasons (years) now.

EPISODES

Creek episodes are normally found at the nearest Yahoo! Messenger Chat Conference. An episode varies depending on the valued importance of the subject. A season lasts for a full year and reaches its finale usually around Christmas Time where the 20-odd members reunite.

CAST

Main Cast

Jubilee Creek is made up of a large cast and is seen congregating at Christmas Time. Ultimately, however, there exists a core cast that changes from year to year. These are the cast members that appear more regularly and have more storylines.

Main cast departures

Over time, the cast of the Creek have endured changes leading up to several cast members' departures. In 2006 alone, the audience witnessed the departure of Stephanie and Jeco as they headed out west for career opportunities. Other main cast members have been relegated to supporting members as they now only appear in guest appearances throughout the year (though they are sure to be at the year ending finale). Here are some former main cast members.

TIMELINE

2000 - 2002
The High School Years

The Creek had a much larger cast then. Given the closeness of the high school batch, an activity would always involve a large group of people. However, the first few seasons chronicled the life of Jim, Jeco, Eugene, Cathy, Shoba and Stephen as they waded through the ins and outs of high school life. These first few seasons were significant, given that while there was a core cast, its storylines had a wide variety involving multiple characters at a time. Suffice to say, the true cast of the High School Years was the batch itself.

Notable episodes include "The Prom" and "The Ball", "The Retreat" and of course, the "Graduation Episode".

2002
Transition

After graduation, the main storyline focused on settling in at the new colleges as the cast of characters would be heavily thinned from a hundred to around 30-odd members. Most of the cast would also end up in rival universities, providing new material for the series. The core cast would include Jim, Jeco, Eugene, Cathy, Stephen, Glenn, Wilson and Shoba. It marked the beginning of many cast changes.

2002 - 2006
The College Years

Again, the cast ended up getting thinned down to the current cast shown now. These years would end up vital as personalities rise and new relationships formed. Throughout the long stretch, the cast included Jim, Jeco, Eugene, Cathy, Stephen, Glenn, Odell, Wilson, Shoba, Dodong, Cha, Eesh, Stephanie, Franz, P3 and Carol. The changes in cast would be due to tearful departures (Jim) and reclusion due to scholastic activities (Shoba, Dodong, Franz, Carol). 2003 marked the beginning of the annual Christmas party where the cast would reunite for one night of conversations and congregation.

2006 - ?
Beyond

2006 would mark the departure of Jeco and Stephanie. It would also thin down the regular cast to six members. As everyone shuffles for jobs, the storylines have now focused on the individual's attempts to start a career. Though we still see the cast in certain episodes, there is a lot more distance between them. New relationships have formed and new friendships made. It's a whole new Creek nowadays as main characters have new love interests and new paths.

We see the emergence of Eugene as he leapfrogs everyone in career-building. The storylines would also revolve around the Glenn, Wilson and P3 as they figure out what shenanigans they can come up with next. We also see Jeco trying to adjust to his new surroundings and Stephen as he finishes his academic work. And finally, we see Jim try out a path in Poker where he can hopefully find a way, no matter the obstacle of cost, to find his way back (hee) to the Creek. It will certainly make for an interesting 2006 finale when old characters come back, old flames are rekindled and new tensions arise and it can only happen in Jubilee Creek.
