Steven R. McQueen was born on July 13th, 1988 in Los Angeles, CA,
to Chad McQueen and Stacey Toten, and he is the grandson of
action movie icon Steve McQueen. Steven never met his
famous grandfather however, as he was born 8 years after his
grandfather's death, but he was named in his honor. Steven's
parents divorced when he was a toddler, and his mother soon
married Hockey legend Luc Robitaille. The "R" in his stage
name is in honor of his step-father.

I really liked Jeremy in the last episode, how he stood up for Bonnie and risked his life for her, really show his deep love for her

As much as I'll miss Jeremy (a lot), I think I can understand why he should leave and try to have a normal life, at least for now

Even more to follow his artistic side

naturellebella · 02-06-2015, 02:18 PM

TFTNT!

IDK, I don't think it makes sense SL-wise...at least not right away. I could see him going in a few episodes from now when Bonnie eventually comes but not before she does. He has expressed a want to get out Mystic Falls but he's also very protective of the ones he loves so it would make sense for him to wait till Bonnie is back, let her know how he's feeling and let the chips fall where they may. I think it's rushed because of Steven leaving the show.

YW

I agree and it'll make even less sense when he doesn't come back to see Bonnie as soon as she returns.

This for sure

But I also think they are not probably sure when she'll be back, they think it'll take a lot for it

Granted, I'm the first to say Jeremy leaving before she's back is a bit forced for his character, but I think it's about timing too

FireQueen · 02-06-2015, 03:30 PM

Tftnt

When the writers bother to care about my Hunter Prince he can have these hero moments I enjoyed so much in the last episode

Jeremy leaving right now is a bit forced but if Steven wanted out there wasn't much they could do. At least he knows Bonnie is going to come out of the prison world, I feared he was going to leave before they had found a way to save her.

AlienSoul · 02-06-2015, 03:39 PM

TFTNT.

This episode just proved that when give good material, Steven nails it, and Jeremy is a very lovable character. We would have had fewer of those Jeremy haters out there had he been given better plots than being a punching bag for the past 2 seasons.

The same thing happened in s4. The writers gave him a really cool SL, and when he died a lot of people were like "Why did they have to kill him off just when he got interesting?" This applies to the majority of the supportive cast, not just Jer. They're neglected and so the audience no longer feels emotionally connected to them.

Jewelstone · 02-06-2015, 06:29 PM

Hollywood Life interviewed McQueen a few hours ago. We should see the article or video sometime in the next couple of days.

petrova · 02-06-2015, 07:01 PM

gonna miss him and sad hes going he'll always be a part of tvd hes been there since day one.
now its time for a new chapter in his life and he deserves all the best

I think this whole Nova Scotia thing should bring her back soon, the writers can't keep this up. Although...they did it longer than I ever expected.

True

it just doesn't fit his character.

I really did grow to love Jeremy by the end of Season 1\Season 2. And I agree, when they give him SLs, he knocks it out the park. He's just rarely given the opportunity to show his chops. I can say that about a lot of the supporting cast. What has everyone's favorite SL of Jeremy's been?

AlienSoul · 02-07-2015, 01:08 AM

The whole of season 1, I loved. Probably because the show was fresher, Steven younger, and KW the King still wrote for the show. I loved everything about it. Not to mention, in season 1 he was treated like a main char.

Season 3 and 4 were potentially great, but they led nowhere. They could have been so great, ugh.

Season 6 is my least favourite season for him, because he's been OOC and he has barely had any scenes.

FireQueen · 02-07-2015, 07:22 AM

In S1 he had the best storyline, he started out as this kid who was still grieving his parents, doing drugs and picking fights with Tyler, but as soon as things went better for him he proved to be smart and curious, started researching things and was able to figure out on his own vampires were real.

S2 was good too. His change into a man who wanted to protect his loved ones felt logical and believable, especially after experiencing so much loss in his life.

S3 was my least favorite season for him. The medium storyline was a joke and he missed the back half of the season after being compelled to leave for Denver

The hunter storyline had potential but the execution was awful and he ended up being killed off. In S5 and S6 he didn't have any storyline at all.

In the end the only one who cared for Jeremy was KW, once he left things went south for the character. JP gave him random or underdeveloped storylines and CD basically admitted she has a hard time writing for Jeremy and Matt.

AlienSoul · 02-07-2015, 07:33 AM

She did? Ugh. And she's co-writing the next episode. I'm glad it's Brian Young who's writing it with her.

I totally agree. I loved Jeremy the most when KW wrote him, and he felt real. Damn it, I wish he'd never left. Wasted potential is such a sad thing.

It's weird because she wrote 2x10, which is one of my favorite episodes for Jeremy. Probably she can write good episodes but is a bad showrunner that can't create interesting storylines for the supporting cast?

AlienSoul · 02-07-2015, 12:54 PM

Idek. Possibly. She can't be that terrible if Julie wanted her to be co-producer. But she ain't that good, and, like you pointed out, she doesn't seem to know how to write a story that works in the long run.
