That girl chasing after the priest is so pathetic


She's set women back 100years.

Simone? Yes, you're right about that.

(I know, you probably mean Paige but seriously, Simone is coming off far worse to me).

reply

they are both rather sad

reply

Yes I meant Simone but Paige ain't much better either.

reply

Simone annoys me a lot more than Paige ever has - and Paige has annoyed me.

reply

Simone is worse than Paige.

reply

How so? Paige has been doing it for like 6 months now...

For me, it's that we've got no reason to like Simone or want her to be with Jack or make her mind up. With Paige, we do, she's a regular character, and love it or hate it, she and Jack have been going for about six months, so at least we know what they are like together.

Also I don't think Simone and Jack have any chemistry whatsoever beyond friends and Paige and Jack do, but that's just my own opinion.

reply

I tend to disagree, I think Paige and Jack have no chemistry whatsoever. I can't see what he sees in her at all (apart from her looks). She's selfish and manipulative, she seems to have no respect for his religion and what committing to the priesthood involves and how dedicated he is to serving god. The way she's tried to tempt him to swing from his beliefs, granted he hasn't helped the situation, but she's gone overboard to encourage him.

I also disagree we should invest in a character more just because they are a regular. Some of the regular characters, including Paige in my opinion, are awful to the point I don't care what happens to them... while some of the guest characters this year such as Ned and Sonya's dad and half sister are far more engaging. But yeah, as you said, we all have differing opinions.

I definitely think Paige and Jack have more spark than Jack and Simone do, regardless of how I feel about them (not sure, at this point, honestly).

Don't forget, though, she did sit with him in the hospital and help him - I know it's a while back, but she did do good things for him.

I think they've both done wrong in the beliefs thing.

I just have more interest in what happens to Paige over what happens to Simone. Paige is connected to characters I like and care about and her caring for them is enough for me to at least like her sometimes. I wouldn't care if we never saw Simone again, personally. Whereas if we never saw Paige again, Lauren would be upset and I like Lauren.

Give me a break!!!! His "religion" two hot stupid low IQ girls fighting over him what a poor poor young man, I'll phone the red Cross.

reply

Oh, I don't feel sorry for him or anything. Just that it's not really his fault that Simone is so weird about him, though I do think he could have done better about Paige.

reply

I agree. Plus Simone has had long enough to move on from Jack. Paige hasn't had that chance, I'm not saying Paige is innocent in it all, but what a waste of our times if he just shacks up with Simone, after we've endured the Paige crap for so long.

If Paige is preggas by him - there's a fun abortion Vs Catholicism story there too.

🐨Have you ever?...Ever felt like this?🐷

reply

Honestly, I would hate it if after all the time with Jack and Paige they let that happen. Even these writers aren't that bad, I hope.

Oh that would be fun. She'd certainly at least consider it, I'm sure.

reply

When a girl begs another girl to please "step aside" over a boy or man no matter how attractive he may be that's when you've slithered to a whole new low of desperate bitch, well you did ask.

reply

I would have stopped after desperate myself, but yes, that is pretty much my thinking as well.

reply

Agreed.

They are both pathetic. To decide which is worse is like judging which type of flour is the most exciting.

I edited my reply to neighbors standards.

reply

Heehee.

reply

She really is.

reply

To me, Paige is way worst. Can't stand that girl. Counting down the days till she leaves.

reply

I know I'm in a minority, but I didn't mind pre-Jack Paige. Even the Dimato crap was sufferable to me.

reply

I liked her at the beginning. Thought she was very spunky. God I still remember how excited I was when they showed the preview with the 30th anniversary, and all the returnees they'd announced. Cut to: Dimato for ten fking months. I felt like Bart Simpson when he ordered the Itchy & Scratchy animation cel and only got a drawing of an arm haha.

reply

Hahaha, awesome analogy!
