hannah on April 12th, 2009 - 12:43pm
i like connie the first odyssey i heard was about her.
it was about her and chadpearson.
rachel on April 16th, 2009 - 6:20pm
connie is the most awesome person on odyssey!!!!
andrea on April 19th, 2009 - 8:39pm
mandy and connie both rock!
hannah on April 24th, 2009 - 4:56pm
I LOVE Connie!!! She is my favorite, and so is Mandy. Keep up the work Katie and Aria!
Mary on April 25th, 2009 - 11:42am
i love connie!!
skyeler on April 30th, 2009 - 3:14am
i think mandy is my favorite character. my favorite episodes were the ones with mandy jared liz alex and cal. cal and jared especially
skyeler on April 30th, 2009 - 3:16am
i love that episode about connie and chad pearson. So sweet!
Nicole on May 3rd, 2009 - 1:58pm
Connie is allways in one of those spunky moods, one of those ready or not attitudes. She reminds me of myself.
Mercy on June 8th, 2009 - 2:50pm
SKYELER is totally right!! Mandy & Jared rock!!! 😀
Emily on June 13th, 2009 - 5:30pm
Connie you do a great job on Odessy I love Odessy!
noah on June 18th, 2009 - 9:14pm
Yes, rock on, Katie Leigh, and continue what you are doing for the cause of Christ! I met you at the 20th anniversary live show, and I felt so privileged and honored to meet such an incredible person!
I like the Chad Pearson episode. He kind of represents today’s idolic figures such as Hannah Montannah or Brad Pitt. This is a fun episode.
Yes, Jared is awesome! I think (as mentioned in the episode “Something cliqued between us”) he should take over the world!
noah on June 18th, 2009 - 9:16pm
Funny story about “This is Chad Pearson?”
Chick-Fil-A made it one of their kid’s toys. some parents got upset about a mention to “Middle-Eastern terrorists” on a TV in the electric palace, and they decided to protest. Just one problem: They held their protest on a sunday: the day Whit’s End is closed. 😀
Holly on June 20th, 2009 - 9:46am
i LOVE Connie!
Mercy on June 23rd, 2009 - 9:48am

Lindsey S. on August 20th, 2009 - 3:21pm
Noah,
I’m glad that Jared hasn’t taken over the world, and I hope he never does. From the wise words of Mr. Whittaker, “Jared taking over the world? Now that’s a scary thought.”
joy on August 25th, 2009 - 3:21pm
Connie is one of my favorite characters. She is always so nice and sweet. I like some of the arguments she has with Eugene. It’s so funny because they are so different in so many ways!
ESTHER. on August 27th, 2009 - 11:36am
I LIKE MANDY THE BEST.

Katie you are such a great actor [if that is what you call yourself]it is amazing that you have a voice that plays so many people.

I like Mandy to, i never know that Aria acted ducky in the movie “land before time”and i think that’s cool and she’s a good actress.I don’t really like the episode something blue part 2 any more because i get mad at Connie for not marring Mitch.All the actors and actresses do a good job keep up the good work everyone!
