Agreed. They could all get wiped out in the first scene! The significant thing about the publicity photos is the almost complete lack of focus on the new cast. There's nothing at all of the sheriff, which is a shame, as I thought maybe the first publicity photos would be a good intro for the character – unless one of the other characters is actually sheriff. Still, as an ex-girlfriend once said to me, good things come to whose who wait!
Lots of talk about the characters being in the same jobs. But the characters chosen (save for maybe Shelly) are the ones you would expect to still be doing those jobs. Of course Cole and Albert are still going to be FBI. Andy and Hawk seem like lifers, and Lucy would most likely stay, especially if her and Andy are together.
If the RR was still in business, it wouldn't be surprising to see Norma still owns and runs it. The one exception is possibly Shelly. We may have hoped she would have moved on, but it's understandable that she could be stuck there. Maybe she's even co-owner.
And we don't know about Bobby, James, Audrey, etc. (well, maybe some of us know...)
The picture Norma and Shelly are in the diner wearing their uniforms seemed to me like a production still not a set up for the magazine. It could be Shelly and Norma are now business partners or there are other things Shelly is doing outside the diner, but IMO is pretty safe to say Shelly is still working at the RR in some capacity.
Same thing for Andy and Hawk wearing their police uniforms, Lucy sitting behind her desk and Denise still wearing women's clothing. Some things will be the same.
I like the pictures from the photo shoot and I bought a copy of the magazine (RR version) and read the article. I'm curious....is the theme of the photo shoot a typical "EW Reunion" type of shoot in that it shows us characters from the original show as we remember them, though obviously aged? Or is the purpose of the photo shoot to capture images of the cast members of the new show as they will be in the new show? I mean clearly it can work for both purposes, but if the shoot was arranged to capture the nostalgia from the original series, then the pictures do that and maybe we shouldn't take the characters' clothes and "stuck in 1989" so seriously as it relates to how their characters will be in the new show. (Cat's out of the bag with some of the production stills, though).

Amen Jerry! The last couple years have been surreal. I still wake up sometimes and just can't believe this is happening. Especially since almost all aspects of it seem like the best case scenario. 18 hours! All Lynch/Frost! Most of the cast. Badalamenti!! It's crazy.

Seeing as how the magazine wardrobe, hair and makeup credits for the magazine spread are all crew members on the new season and many wardrobe pieces the cast is wearing in the shoot have been seen in on-set photos taken by fans, I believe this shoot is a "first look" at how the actors and characters will appear in the new season.
I think the entire issue, with both the photo shoot and featured episodic stills, is supposed to be a combination of first look photos at the characters, with some cast in the photo shoot and some cast in episodic stills.

100% Agreed Jerry. People annoyed that they still have the same jobs and or the fact we don't see new characters need to realize this EW cover story was about bringing Twin Peaks back with a bang for long time fans. It would be fruitless and not very Lynch like to have Dern and or Watts etc be shown in any new pictures if they are completely new characters. I fully believe all the characters shown will have similar size roles in the new show with the exception of Audrey possibly due to the fact that she held out so long well into production.

I've been away for a couple of weeks so only catching up on the EW cover news. I don't have time to review this whole thread so apologies if this has already been discussed but how can overseas persons (UK) purchase these 3 cover editions? Thanks.
Edit: If any kind soul would be willing to purchase the 3 cover issues and let me know the cost plus p+p I would be happy to pay via PayPal.
The on-set pix from the production are material from the actual show. Not some fakeout setup.
It's a small town and someone like Shelly stayed at the same place for 25 years. It happens. Same with law enforcement, or Norma who owns the diner. It's totally plausible for Small Town America.
