Same with Sarah Caulfield and Lucas.

I think it's ok for the writers to take a little license with the "unrealistic" relationships; it's tv after all. That being said, now that we've had two such relationships with, both times, the female half being BADLY acted, I think we have to look at the writing as the source of the problem. What I'm saying is that neither of these characters was terribly well written (they're really just there as love interests and plot twists) so the actresses had nothing solid to work with, hence couldn't put together a believable performance.

Dale was a little better portrayed

than Caulfield.

I always distrust characters so that didn't bother me about them, or that they might have been bad guys. A good actress could have made the characters more believable. They just weren't there.

Silktie, I love your new avatar!
