[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 329092, member: 27"] It would be foolish to end the series with a neat, little bow because these people have led messy lives from day one. Writing them suddenly all having happy endings would not be realistic storytelling. That said, there are certain characters who deserve happiness and others who....don't. The show could take advantage of time-jumps near the end to help them give long-term story endings for the characters, which if done judiciously, could give the viewers a better feeling of "happy ending" than just suddenly having everyone's lives straighten out. I've been nursing along this story idea of their using Steven's return to re-enact the return of Matthew Blaisdel from the OG, with Adam taking the brunt of his violent anger. I just can't fully endorse sweet, poor Steven being shown as crazy or violent, even if the violence feels so justified. I think Adam needs to go down[B] hard[/B]. Amanda, bless her, isn't the one for the job, even if Kirby were to share some of Anders's [I]book of secrets info[/I] to help bring him down.[I] [/I]Steven, more than anyone, needs to be the one to expose just how insane Adam is under that veneer of civility and reclaim his place in the family that Adam gloated about taking from Steven in that hospital scene years ago. I've mentioned earlier that I think they are slowly putting Dominique and Culhane together, that they might be seen leaving town together in the final episodes. Los Angeles would be a good place for both of them, since Culhane fancies himself a movie producer and of course she is a rising fashion designer. Even with all this talk of surrogacy, I can't imagine the show being able to resist scenes of Fallon discovering she is pregnant in or near the finale. Though it would be over the top, I would not put it past them to have Cristal also discover a miracle pregnancy similar to Fallon's. [/QUOTE]
