Well, to be fair, Bo was always the hero, up to a few years ago, when terrible writers did a hack job on him (and so many others). Sure, he was always somewhat of a rebel, but a rebel with a great heart, in my opinion. I for one loved Bo. And I'm glad he was "redeemed" just before he died. Was it too quick ? Yes, of course. Was it badly done ? Yes, it could have been much better. But I accept the explanation the last writers who wrote his death and his captivity storyline gave us. And I also think it is sweet that Bo gave Rafe his blessings when it comes to Hope. See, I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority on that one.
And frankly, right now, I think Hope is an idiot for even thinking about taking Aiden back. Even if Aiden didn't try to kill her, he went too far. Sure, he lied to Hope and she doesn't know that it was truly him the night she was attacked, since she thinks it was right after the proposal... and don't get me started on the fact that she didn't even blink at the thought of sleeping with a total stranger : no STD tests, no "Oh my God, I was raped by proxy, etc." !
:angry: Still, Aiden has lied through his teeth since he met her. So to think Hope would be hesitating between Rafe and Aiden is beyond me.
Then again, what do I know ? I myself married a great guy, a "geek" as they call them nowadays, (14 years married, 26 total together) and I wasn't the least attracted to "bad boys" with a dark side. So I guess my life would seem pretty boring to the Days' so called writers.
Oh, and when I say "bad boys", I'm not talking about Bo Brady or Steve Johnson, or even Jack Devereaux, who all had some depth. No, because sadly, they don't write characters like these anymore. Instead, we've been treated to the likes of Xander, EJ ( who could not even cut it as a true villain, since he was also pathetic and weak, as shown in this great scene where he kneeled down to kiss fatha's ring), Andre, Aiden, Deimos... who are bad to the bone, with no redeeming qualities in my opinion. And the women ? They are either true villains, like Kristen, now Summer, though she's both bad and mind numbingly boring, Serena (see Summer's description), Kate, or pathetic and desperate, like Hope now, Ciara, Belle. Too bad, really.
Sorry, I may have gone off topic. Carry on.
