I was never sure of that either. Sometimes he seemed to be at a loss as to what to do with them.

stlavin95

He really did, some seasons more than others though.

Cristofle

Yeah, that's true.

Whereas I'm not sure Josh had a concrete idea about Marissa from one arc to another at any point, lol.

stlavin95

Season 4 is one of the worst seasons in that regard imo. He probably didn't either lol

Cristofle

I think Josh ran out of a lot of his best ideas after the first seven episodes, lol.

stlavin95

Mark wasn't that far behind him lol

Cristofle

Yeah, OTH kind of went off the rails sometime in mid to later S1. Although it spectacularly went camp in S4. I'll never forget the stalker saga, lol. Which I actually kind of enjoyed, but likely not for the reasons Mark would have thought.

stlavin95

Yeah it really did and the show would have been much better off if he got replaced around that time.

Cristofle

I'm so sad for the actresses that this kind of thing wasn't being reported on this level back then.

stlavin95

I am too, but I was more talking about storyline wise for the show.

Cristofle

Oh, it would have been better for the show all around, lol. Mark went off the rails in a lot of ways, it seems.

stlavin95

He really did and after the first couple of seasons, most people are watching the show despite the writing.

Cristofle

Oh, definitely. I got attached to the characters, more than I was waiting to see about the plot, lol.

stlavin95

I did too lol, and there is so much I would change or tweak about the show lol.

Cristofle

Oh, God. LOL. The dog and the heart is such an easy thing to ditch.
