ulkis April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 (edited) Reveal the truth about what he personally thinks about the story and where it's headed. Sure, you can say he's a kid and should keep his mouth shut bc he's not good enough or old enough or whatever, but that's not really the point for me. Just because you're supposed to behave a certain way in the business and you're not supposed to rock the boat doesn't mean that way is right or more respectable. Everyone has their own reality and personality. I don't think he cares about Morgan's morals or the morals of the writing or how good the writing is or is not. I think he just cares because he gets no screentime. Which is fine but I don't think he is fighting for the GH actors or a better show.
