Brooke's a weird one for me since it's clear that the writers didn't care for her at times, but then at other times they pretty much worshipped the ground she walked (especially in S8) and also would give a free pass when she was in the wrong in the way they wouldn't with anyone else.

S8 was especially weird since she spent some hardcore time under the bus in S7. The writing for her could be schizophrenic.

It really could be

Haley...a lot of it was just sloppy, lol. Like Mark wasn't even trying.

stlavin95

He really wasn't

"Oh, let me bring back her mother I've forgotten about for like six years so she can sloppily be killed off. I'm sure the audience remembers her."

And act like that were always so close despite me not doing anything to remotely even hint at that in the previous seasons.

Haley was like "She was the glue!" That was some damn invisible glue that in no way held this family together because y'all haven't seen each other in 84 years.

stlavin95

Exactly, lol

Cristofle

Honestly, when Quinn came up like she could pick Jamie out of a line up, I was deeply suspicious, lol. Since when have you met this child, ma'am?

stlavin95

Off screen apparently, lol

Cristofle

Haley had apparently had a 100% offscreen relationship with her family. Which means absolutely nothing to the audience.

stlavin95

It really doesn't

Cristofle

Mark was a big fan of "Tell, not show". He'd tell us why we should care about something, but he wouldn't show it to us.

stlavin95

Definitely, but he isn't the only writer guilty of that
