Josh commented on Malex recently:

His sentiments are nice, but aside from FOX doing the promo thing, they were the ones who then had Marissa go back to Ryan within half a millisecond of Malex ending. That's what made it come across more like a Marissa-showstopping moment, rather than an actual relationship.

Care is the right word. There was quite a bit of build up, and then BOOM. Done. They really could have just ignored the whole gardener fiasco and started Alex earlier.
Also, they could have had way more fun with Seth reacting, lol. And they easily could have had Malex play a factor into the breakdown of Lindsay/Ryan which would have made a Ryan/Marissa reunion more organic. Because there was very little reaction from the others, it felt like a bit of an isolated storyline with everyone behaving like "Oh, there goes Marissa again." So if the characters are acting like it's a stunt, why wouldn't the network and the audience? __________________

Exactly! Josh could have EASILY written not only Marissa, but how other characters REACTED to Marissa differently. No one really took her struggle as a sexual assault survivor seriously either- it was like she asked for that because of her tragic DNA.

Fallout was lacking in general, I guess.

You know what was weird, is that I think Josh HAD been planning to go that way, at least in part. It was clear in The Ex Factor, in both the scene where Ryan told Lindsay how he met Marissa (complete with the windshield flashback) and the scene where Lindsay saw all the pictures, that she was threatened by Marissa and that she had some reason to be. But I swear, Josh saw the meltdown TWoP had about it and backed off- he's already admitted to how seriously he took that feedback at the time. Because that angle was dropped fast and never came up again.

IMO, guest stars should only be brought in to service the storyline of the leads. And by not doing that with Malex, they missed the RM potential, but they also then had to kinda rush Alex out without a worthwhile resolution.
So although fun from a Mischa/Olivia point of view, it was a bit of filler arc. __________________

DP- I'm just saying, if Marissa HAD wanted to have a three-way with Alex and Spencer Hastings.
