Who else still hates Jeff? I think turning him evil is the beginning of the end of his character. Can't see him as evil. He's a very weak character. Or is he just faking it? So Blake slept with his mother...or maybe Blake is his father and he even knows it? Who knows? It's just a dumb turn for him, Cesil should be the one out to kill Blake. His talk of his business which doesn't even run, same with Fallon. They need to write him off. Have Monica get with Michael for now, but totally write off all 3 characters of her, Jeff and Cesil. Biggest weakness of the show is the Colby family. Monica just shares one scene with Michael, has she shared others? Not as deep as that last one...she just gets in the car with Fallon and I'm thinking "Michael and her will get together." Then she just goes to him at the end and kisses him. How dumb is that? It didn't lead up to that...it just sort of happened and probably everyone saw it coming but it happened in the weirdest way as the two rarely had much contact in the previous 8 episodes. It now makes Michael unbelieveable and a pimp. He should have had more interactions with Monica BEFORE, not just have her throw herself at him with no build up. PLAIN STUPID. Bad writers. Jeff is just not believable. He hasn't been for 9 episodes. Even with his "I'm faking it". Don't like his character. It worsens the show. The actor is NOT good, nor the stories they've given him these past 9 episodes. He's a little bit more meaty than say that character played by Jason Winston George on Titans, though that character totally had no business being on the cast on that show, Jeff, has more scenes in this show, but his character is just a waste of screen time. "My business," "I like you, but I'm not sleeping with you," "We're at work, let's sleep together!" "We slept together, but that's it," "We need to make cuts from the staff."...What work? What business? What staff? This is just as bad as Riley Richmond being a 1st grade teacher on Melrose Place on CW 2009-2010, totally unbelievable. We never saw her in school, and in every episode she was usually making excuses to not go to work...shopping, modeling, meetings, et. then she lost her job, but, still, what a waste of a character. Jeff is at work. But it's a poorly lit office. There are NO employees. Nobodys is working! NOBODY! Not even him and Fallon. They just sit there and talk about the business they have and it's not even a business.
I would cancel the show by now for so many, many reasons. But since it's performing well altogether, I'm guessing we see a season 2. I would hope they write off the Colbys. Not good. It's the biggest flaw of the entire show. Not just Jeff, but now they are ruining Monica. She had rare interaction with Michael and just throws herself at him. They needed more scenes together. It was very unbelievable that happened that way it did.
Watching the episode made me think sort of the writers imagine the viewers not paying attention or high or something. It was unbelievable with Monica to get with Michael like that so soon. They needed MORE INTERACTION, at least a few more scenes together that were important...NOTHING and of course, "I need to let employees go." WHAT EMPLOYEES?
Plus Blake's father is written to be some carefree nutcase. I did not care for his character.
The only thing I did like was the Cristal and Iris story, but the ending was stupid, predictable, yet how the hell would that guy appear alive so fast after being mentioned and how would Blake know of him and where to find him? Totally stupid. Totally unbelievable. They are making Blake to be really powerful and greedy. I don't know if the original was anything like him. It's just stupid how he says he's not greedy and so many things happen that are affecting others around him.
