Eric Mabius as Oliver O'Toole in Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Impossible Dream

Some fun posts to help the healing process.

If you haven't heard, poor Eric is practically in traction right now after an accident a few weeks back that caused him to break a rib. Here's what we learned about it on Twitter:

Well...I broke my first bone. Let me tell you, if a broken rib hurts this much...I'd NEVER want to give birth. Sitting still is the worst... pic.twitter.com/0MFAm32ZJu

Essentially he's bedridden. Because of this I thought it might be nice to compile some reading/viewing material to help time pass. So for my 449th post, I present five carefully curated pieces just for you, Eric.

Twenty-One Pilots - "Tear In My Heart"

Shane has always had a way of getting under Oliver's skin, and this song---along with the clips it includes---captures those moments perfectly.

The Yoo Hoo Montage You've Been Waiting For

It's an entertaining obsession that gave live to an even more entertaining montage (a video which could even use an update...).

For Christmas: Decoded

Kristin Booth as Shane Mcinnerney and Eric Mabius as Oliver O'Toole in Signed, Sealed, Delivered: For Christmas

For Christmas was a sweet spot in Shane and Oliver's relationship, situated between the angst of A Hope and A Future and the drama of From Paris With Love. The best part? Oliver is driving the entire dance floor interaction in a way that's perfectly him.

I have always loved the "Tear in My Heart" video -- the music is lively, the words, very appropo, and the video clips memorable. Thanks for bringing this old favorite and the Yoo-Hoo montage out today! In addtition to the three Oliver/Eric posts you featured today, I have two additional favorites that set the base for ongoing discussions of character in SSD. One is the outstanding "Plaid, Pinstripes and Pocket Squares: The Armor of a Modern Day Gentleman." How would we understand any of the wardrobe posts since then without understanding the basics of Oliver's wardrobe clues? A second favorite is "What's in a Name:Oliver". Again, so many posts since then including the recent series on "War, Peace,and Grace" build on the essential understanding of that topic.

Hope Eric is enjoying these posts selected to aid his recovery because we need him to rest and recuperate---filming on SSD 8 and 9 is fast approaching, and we need our lead POstable to be healthy, pain-free and ready to plunge into new adventures in the DLO! Not sure how we're going to be able to wait until September for a new SSD, but with the help of this blog and our enthusistic #POstables family, we'll survive!

Hello.
I have 2 questions.
My questions are...
#1. "Why is there a swear sphere hanging from the ceiling?"
#2. In SSD The Vows Rita told her dad Norman delivered a large stuffed bear. He said he missed the bear. However in To The Altar the bear was back in the DLO.
