Thanks for the new one. Did anyone hate that the friendships got less focus in the later seasons?

[BlondieLeigh]

So much!! They got too caught up in the same aspects every other show does.

[stlavin95]

Yeah I hated how it seemed they were off in the own worlds in the later seasons.

[BlondieLeigh]

The friendships should have had more focus.

[stlavin95]

Yeah definitely, only an couple of friendships seemed to get a lot more focus each season in the later years.

[BlondieLeigh]

It would have been nice if friendship had been the overall focus after the brothers.

[stlavin95]

Yes, it definitely would have been nice.

[BlondieLeigh]

That should have been the case, too.

[stlavin95]

Yes the relationships got a bit too much focus in the later seasons.

Honestly, I don't care about most friendships on this show to begin with. Especially among core 5. So, outside of PH, I wasn't bothered by their absence much. I wish the friendships were better written though. Especially PHB, who give me such fake, cutesy trash American tv girls/girl friendship vibes.

[stlavin95]

I cared for an few friendships so the lack of focus really annoyed me imo.

[Slayerette89]

Which ones would you like to have seen more of in the later seasons?

I liked some side friendships (Karen + Deb, Peyton/Lucas + Anna, Lucas/Haley/Peyton + Skills, Lucas + Julian), but not many main ones. Hated BP and BH and didn't care for LN or BPH. Also didn't care for many minor friendships. Namely, Mouth + anyone.

[stlavin95]

Karen + Deb, Lucas + Haley, Peyton + Haley, Lucas + Skills, Haley + Skills, Peyton + Skills, Lucas + Nathan & Nathan + Peyton. I liked Mouth as a friend, it was just in every other department he annoyed me in.

[Slayerette89]

Mouth + screentime was generally a bad thing in my books, lol. I only ever liked him at the very beginning, with Jimmy.
