What was the purpose of bringing him back for one episode the other day, and consequently on the same episode Joe leaves the show as well. These shows and episodes here are when this show really start to go downhill toward the end of season 6 and season 7.
shareI think it was their way of trying to fix Jamie Walters career after they shattered it to pieces.
Anyone else think the last few episodes Joe was in that he mirrored Ray's behavior a little bit? As in trying to control Donna or upset about her rekindling a friendship with David.
Yes, it was to try to redeem the character of Ray because after Jamie Walters left the show, his career was in the crapper no thanks to this show. The fans were brutal towards him and couldn't separate the fact that Jamie was NOT Ray, he was just playing a character. His career still never recovered after that and he has only had small parts here and there while his music career was all but over, unfortunately. I was never a fan of his music myself but I feel really bad for what happened to Jamie as a result of his participation on this show.
shareshould have made his pumpkin patch a regular thing on the show.

honestly though, I don't blame Walters. He had wanted to be a musician--he tried with The Heights. And then he finally gets on an established show and the current writers tear him up.
Hagman and Dallas was different. he wasn't simultaneously trying to do something off screen which literally required him to be likable. JR was SUPPOSED to be evil, sleazy..etc. Hagman did not HAVE to be two people for two projects.
Most of Walters fans were pre-teen girls who unfortunately do not always have the best cognitive skills, what do you expect?
When I was that age yes I also had incomplete reasoning skills. And this was pre- social media too.
It was the stupidity of the people who watched the show. They were nowhere intelligent enough to understand "Ray" was a character played by Jamie, who had to follow the script to be on the show.
