Gabriel Basso is an actor best known for playing the Night Agent on Netflix. He's talked about wanting to leave the industry in a few years (with the implication he could be replaced as the lead on The Night Agent) because he thinks there are more important things he could do with his life and that he can't stand the industry. Which is fine and all, but it made me think about the fact that if a woman who was the lead of a massive hit show talked about wanting to leave it sooner rather than later because acting isn't important enough to her, she would be absolutely raked over the coals for it. Don't get me wrong, I really like Gabe Basso (and I'm sure he'll be quite happy when he's made enough money to go off into retirement as a thirtysomething) but there's something just really annoying about how a man will get applauded for being "honest" about hating the industry he's in when we all know damn well that a woman could never get away with this. Look at the shit that Constance Wu endured because she openly admitted that she wasn't happy about "Fresh Off the Boat" getting another season because it meant she couldn't do a movie she was trying to get done.

Wasn't this when the Abby/Austin flirtation was going on? I thought that was a pretty good storyline. Was this also when Chad faked having cancer to get with Abby? I feel like that might have been 2013/2014, though. I think Chloe's post-partum storyline was either late 2011 or early 2012. I distinctly remember her yelling "What the hell is wrong with you!" to Parker. Always felt kind of cheated we never actually saw her parenting Parker. There was a scene where Jennifer shaves Daniel's face and it just pointed out to me just how much I couldn't stand Taniel. The shaving scene is a common "romantic bonding" trope and it just emphasized to me how awful Taniel was. So I feel like the show decided that they were going to blow up Johnny and Wendy (who I thought actually did work together) to revive Johnny and Chanel. They threw Wendy to Tripp in order to give him a "happily ever after" participation trophy write-off. Colin and Talia were meant to be a toxic couple, and I thought it was pretty clear that Colin was only using Talia to get his revenge. In terms of Talia and Chanel, I thought the show should have just ended it with Talia revealing she was only going after her in order to help Colin's plan. I never bought Talia falling in love with Chanel for real. I did actually buy the Talia/Shawn hook-up, though.

I feel like I liked Leo the best when they were clearly flirting with the idea of putting him with Zac Tinker's Sonny.

Man boobs Mobster. I remember reading that all the way back to early/mid-2000's Television Without Pity.

Chad got his hair colored. I like the shade they chose on him.

I honestly wish they had done a callback to this story with the adult Spencer by giving him some mild scar and he freaks out and brings back the mask. NAC would have played the absolute hell out of it. *Wistful*

Dee is a big Robert Scott Wilson booster so he's not going anywhere.

Damn, I think it might be hard to re-watch this movie now given the shitty news. Poor Aubrey Plaza. Nobody plans on being a widow at 40.

I'm guessing they're doing this to leave open the opportunity for Finley to come back if it shakes out that way. The same thing happened with Charlotte on GH and Doug on B&B.

They should have just had her getting expelled because she was in a sorority that got caught in some serious hazing charges.

Chase Stokes is appearing in awful direct to streaming movies so the man is busy. I also think, as much as they play nice for the cameras, it's just not appealing to either him or Madelyn Cline to keep pretending googly eyes towards each other. I know they're professionals, but still. I don't think it's a coincidence that there was far less love scenes between the two are there were in previous seasons. Yet this season Sarah gets pregnant, go figure. The show really should have called it quits after season 3. I also agree about offing JJ to give Rafe more of a central role.

I would seriously have a hard time saying no to that smile. My god. Seeing Doug III put on the full flirty smile with Holly was too cute.

Lucas Adams was good with family storylines. I thought his best work was when he attempted to killed Kayla and then when he was squared off against Charlie. Anyway, damn Peyton Meyer really does have a stunning smile. Those dimples!

I don't know though. Republicans managed to roll back Roe v. Wade, so I don't think this is that forced or out of time, really. (I really don't want to bring politics in this but this is a political issue.) I just don't think was necessary at all. I get the vibe he's trying to recreate Belle and Shawn via the Jan Spears baby plot, but I don't care about Tate and Holly so this is all moot for me.

I think they broke up Wendy/Johnny and threw Wendy to Tripp to give him a happily ever after because they decided to revive Chanel/Johnny when they realized that Johnny didn't really have any purpose on canvas. Raven has been, for the most part, really good at selling her pairings and they're invested with her as a leading lady on the show. They didn't have that same investment in Wendy hence her being written off with Tripp.
