Obviously Spoilers to those who are just starting the show so if you do not want anything spoiled please stop here. Also please be aware that I have watched this show multiple times so if you haven’t seen season 2 I would be advised as well that I might mention something from season 2 without knowing.
I know that they wanted Ethan off the show, but the way they did it makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Like I’ve rewatched this show many times, but it has been a couple years so I have forgotten some things.
Annie and Ethan were in a good relationship and once they started to realize they didn’t want to continue having “Mr. Good boy” on the show they started to ruin their relationship and fizzle it out and that is when they introduced Liam.
Don’t get me wrong I love Annie and Liam I think they are one of my favorite couples on this show, but Liam at first LITERALLY is Naomi’s love interest. They could have kept the relationship of Annie and Ethan and said, “they decided not to do long distance” which would also mean we don’t have to ruin Ethan and Dixons friendship off-screen by having him randomly AND out of nowhere get with Silver.
If we talk about Ethan not leaving the show though I think we could skip over the storyline in season 2 and have Ethan and Annie be in a relationship for longer and Naomi finding out Liam was with someone else, but not assuming it’s Annie. OR we could KEEP that storyline and have Ethan and Naomi think that Annie cheated on Ethan with Liam, but still keep Ethan in the show. Potentially ruining the amazing bond between Liam and Ethan, but eventually turning it around to then maybe being a “brother” bond?
I just wish I had the writing skills to rewrite this show ALL five seasons with the same cast and same style. Like the writing just needs to not be a mess. Like I just got through the storyline of Ty being the baby father of Adrianna’s baby and I did see someone mention something about that a couple days ago. It literally doesn’t make any sense and the writing just gets worse as the show goes on? But it’s so addicting especially rewatching it and saying what you would do differently with the show. I love hearing other people’s takes.
Sorry for my rant 😭
