With all respect, I have to disagree. Why is it so hard to accept that there are people who didn't like Ethan for who he was and not because of what he was or meant in relation to Brian? I'm sure many people saw him as competition for Brian and didn't like him for that, but personally I never considered him a competitor and my reasons for not liking him only are in the person he was and his looks, which is part of the character anyway. And like me, I think there are other people who just didn't like him regardless of Brian. Let's not make things black and white
Sorry Gemstone, but while I often agree with you, in this case I can't. I would have never fawned over Ethan, he's just not my type, starting from the fact I don't find him cute
