[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 226917, member: 102"] Yeah, sometimes. You have a perfect example of it. When a character acts in a way where it should be embarrassing to them, like Sue Ellen humiliating herself with a school boy or sharing a motel room with a guy in exchange for a fifth of vodka, I'd rather skip over it. I tend to skip over most of the stuff with Leslie Stewart in it. I didn't see any value in the character. They've had other characters that I don't see any value in either, but most were not heavily featured in seasons that were otherwise very good seasons. To watch JR make a fool of himself, shamelessly chasing after her as if he had no options and no self respect just wasn't good. It was beneath him to act that way over her. It's just not fun to watch. Pressuring Laurel to have sex with him was beneath JR too. The whole show had gone downhill by then, so that season isn't one I'm likely to be watching again anyway. The thing about the Leslie Stewart storyline is that it's in what is otherwise an excellent season! You see the rest of what they're doing in season four and it's so good that you wonder, what is this doing here?
