They had set ups for so many AWESOME potential storylines, and then just . . . wasted them. THAT would have been heartbreaking to see, but the fallout would have been SPECTACULAR, and they could have then set up the Phoebe/Ash thing a bit further down the track. I mentioned in another post, they could have made the pregnancy storyline so much more interesting by having Kyle getting Billie up the duff as well. It's hard when you sit back and you see so much potential wasted on what feels forced, pointless and repetitive. My grudge against Ash has little to do with his character and more to do with the fact that I just find him extremely unattractive. And it's not his fault. I just find blonde men unattractive. I much prefer Kyle in the looks department. Am I shallow? Yes. Do I feel bad about that? Nope I do love Kyle's character, because there is depth to him. He does have a Jekyll/Hyde going on, but not to the point of crazy, if you know what I mean? What happened in regards to Phoebe I see as a bit of karma returning. He did something similar with Casey/Tamara. Though then killing off the babies, while typical of H&A (are babies expensive to have on set or something?) is a bit harsh. Hopefully though, they will make it up by finding him someone nice. Hey, dreams are free!
