Oh how I would have loved it if it was Tom, I'd be squealing! Instead pompous Alec showed up and was all annoying!

No actual agents/actors were harmed in the filming of this series! Having said that....I continue to speak as if this actually matters (and just very thankful you are all here to listen - even if you disagree!)

*GASP* It's only a TV show? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lucas and Harry had such an interesting dynamic, and I had hoped for the longest time that they would take a storyline to explore their relationship. Go back to the old days. Instead I got a storyline about crazy John...EEEKKK! And they ruined Lucas and Harry's bond!!

I think if the writers focused more on creating the relationship between Maya and Lucas, more than just them saying they love each other or other characters saying they love each other, if the writers would just show it more, maybe delve deeper into their great love and relationship, I would have been able to accept the storyline more. Instead I got a love interest that had the ability to be about as intriguing as a sponge.

Hard to believe that months ago I was so excited to see what storylines and intrigues would happen and so happy, now I'm upset and feels like I've been sucker-punched in the gut.
