I guess time will tell with VK.
The serial killer redemption at least on soaps doesn't bother me. Especially since they try and play it like they were mentally ill when it happened. (Don't watch GH so don't know Franco's deal).
I didn't think I could like Jack because he's a rapist and that's the one thing I hate more than anything in RL. I'd hate it if they ever put it on Primetime TV. But soaps are outlandish as hell between being possessed by the devil, resurrections, 10000+ marriages, that weird aliens abducting teens storyline. I just roll with it lol.
