Mostly on: postcards. (Also includes: the wider fandom, an email, a phone call, lyrics, and articles.)
JC: And how was it when you first saw each other again?
EM: Insane. Me and the guys were living hand to mouth and then Steve Harrington rolls up with his college friends in his shiny tour bus — none of the rest of us had a tour bus, LF only had a ‘tour VW’ and they were the headliners — but then we all worked out the Babysitters were living hand to mouth too, they were just doing it in style.
SH: (Laughing) My dad said if he was going to have a rock star son, he wasn’t going to have a homeless rock star son. He didn’t say it as nice as that, though.Series

INT: Did you know about Louisa? Did Eddie?
SH: Yes, yes we both did. We’ve both known for a while.
INT: And both of you are fine with it?
SH: Of course. (Laughing) We all live together, actually.
INT: So, no divorce?
SH: I don’t know. It’s a lot of money and effort. If Rob wants to get divorced, we will, but honestly, I don’t think either of us can be bothered. We’ve been married fifteen years, I don’t think either of us want to stop now.Series
