[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 232531, member: 8"] I did not see that one coming. I like that. Addressing the blackmail issue slightly diminishes the cruelty of his comment, because it's not just specifically about the homosexuality, but also what it means to the family. Not only is James gay, he has created a situation. I guess George needs this benefit of the doubt - and for Sarah (or Carolyn) to change his point of view, eventually. Or put James' life in peril or something like that. To be honest, I don't think the writer had much choice in this matter. The alternative is a cookie-cutter hero type who stands up for [I]all[/I] the underdogs, which would make him predictable for every future storyline. Or totally uncharacteristic when he doesn't. I think I also prefer the less-is-more, quasi-dignified attitude. There's no need to tattoo "villain" on her forehead. Dee Morell to Patricia: [I]As one schemer to the other, "welcome to the family".[/I] Oooh...what could it [I]be[/I]? [/QUOTE]
