okay- I have a theory. Tptb suck at writing men suffering with mental anguish. Think back to Ryan after the cave... He was acting like an ass, I always assumed they were trying to write him as sufferring from post-tramatic stress but failed miserably and as a result it turned a lot of fans against him. My current assumption is they are trying to write Josh to be struggling with what he grew up thinking about his dad going up against what everyone is telling him about his dad... with a bit of worry over his father's disappearance thrown in. But it's not quite working. What do you think?

i think that's a real possibility. As long as they don't go overboard as they did with Ryan, it could possibly work. I'm growing more and more impressed with Colin as time goes on. Sure, some of Josh's scenes make me want to put a fork through my eye but overall, I'm digging Colin's effort. If only they could remove Josh from Babe's ass.

the problem is Josh is so isolated. Who does he really have to interact with?

I'm hoping when all the stuff about being an aborted fetus comes out, he finally forms some friendships (beyond Babe) with other people. Maybe they feel sympathy or something. Honestly I always thought he should be frienes with JR because they are so similar (especially with the mommy issues, LOL). The problem with that is the Babe factor (can I say how much I HATE that every single friggin male on this show loves her? What about Amanda? What about Erin? What about Simone?)

i think, aside from the babe worship, they're writing him pretty well. I find myself laughing, thinking to myself, "he is so Kane" ;D he reminds me alot of kendall actually, and not in a ..they're just changing names, same storyline, kind of way. to me, he does'nt even know it yet, but he's already more "Kane" than that bitch bianca ever was. if i can't get jr/erin, i could definately work with Josh and Erin. Kane and Lavery? you can't go wrong there.

oooh... Josh and Erin. That would be interesting. Good point, he is very Kane-like. I just wish we got a better look at his confusion/abandonment issues/anger at all the mess surrounding him

hopefully we'll get a better look as the story unfolds. He knows there is HUGE secret being kept from him, he just is'nt aware how PERSONAL it really is. I hope to see Collin really shine when the truth is FINALLY revealed. He will have that, plus the death of his "dad" to deal with all at once.

although, apparently, the moron brothers have at least one more go at him before then. Sigh...

of course you take the SL with a grain of salt but could you imagine to find out you are an aborted embryo and who you thought were mom and dad aren't? (will biologically - mom and dad are who raises and loves you) what worse news could you get? ?/

at least he didn't sleep with a Martin or Kane woman. That would have made it worse

I wonder if the Babe/Josh thing is a set up in case JY leaves. the new triangle would be: Jamie vs. Uncle Josh for Babe

I don't care for Josh yet, but I do think Colin is wonderful at the role. I'm looking forward to the change in dynamics when the secret comes out. I just hope they don't write him as a crazy nutcase who goes after everyone with a chip on his shoulder. I agree that he needs some decent interaction with OTHER characters on the screen.
