Tessa and Scott are one of the first topics discussed in the TSL On The Road interview with Marie-France that was published today (recorded on Sep 8).
I'm particularly happy that M-F shed light on when V/M asked Patrice and her to coach them. (Thanks to Dave for asking the question.)
The answer is that back in 2014 (post Sochi), V/M already had said that if they ever returned to competition, they wanted D/L (and no one else) to coach them. And after being asked back then, D/L already had made a promise to V/M to coach them -- if they ever came back.
So long before P/C started training with D/L (and thus long before P/C's first world title, of course):
Can't wait for the Autumn Classic to start tomorrow
.
Good luck to Tessa and Scott :yay:.
Look forward to seeing their programs :dance2:.

- V/M already had chosen D/L as V/M's future coaches (if needed)
- And D/L already had committed to being V/M's future coaches (if needed)

Mini-vid from today of V/M practicing in costume:
I love seeing Scott too, but agree :agree: that it's hard to take one's eyes off of Tessa's joy and beauty in these Autumn Classic images.
Another nice still from Upnights:

Hesitate to say, but if it took two seasons off for her to revive that joy, I'm reconciled...

I just saw their SD and I really liked it. So glad they are back competing. I have forgotten how good they look together on the ice. The smiles after the dance say a lot about how happy they are as well to be competing. And Tessa is really ful of joy and energy.

SD video, in case anyone missed it: https://youtu.be/WUcb4p-YHyk
TSN published an article with their thoughts about that SD and an explanation about the FD. Wanted to share the quote here.

Interesting that Scott acknowledged they had some "jitters" yesterday, but that the were enjoying themselves and want to keep that through to the Olympics.
From my viewing, the adrenaline was more positive and visible for Tessa, except after the music had stopped. So glad that they were able to get through this first ISU outing on home ice. Wonderful that they feel it was a "home run.":hap57:
Love their NEW SD. my fav short dance so far easily! It is cohesive and attracted my entire attention to the very end. As an amateru ice dance watcher, I sometime have issues focusing on this season's SD. Since it is a very fun style, yet all of them still have to incorporate stsq with required edges that is when I usually lost my attention. but not with them.
Here's a mixed zone follow up video interview with Tessa and Scott following the SD.
