I bothers me b/c it feels like they're writing him into a corner with the stuttering, Lily, etc. I was BAD jonathan. Now that was entertaining! Don't get me wrong, I think he's really sweet right now, but, I can only take so much.

Yeah exactly. I loved the old Jonathan. I was thrilled when they brought him back. But they didn't bring back the Jonathan I loved. They brought back Forrest Gump Jonathan and I can barely tolerate him. And now its gone on so long it looks like they are never going to write him back to the way he used to be. It's past the point where it should have happened. They are sticking with new Jonathan and I'm disappointed. He's not nearly as entertaining as he used to be.
Plus they made him very hypocritical. I'm sorry but a guy who killed three people and terrorized a town has no place to comment on others goodness. He just doesn't. He needs to understand that, and realize that people won't trust him instantly just because he had a surgery in another country!

I agree.. before there was this element to him that kept him on the edge and peaked your interest.. now he's stutteringly boring

To put it bluntly, they made him the male Lily. And I really don't enjoy Lily as a character. She's boring and needs a babysitter 24/7. Not my idea of entertainment.

i think that's what bothers me about a certain poster at SOC...she thinks everyone who doesn't instantly forgive Jonathan is baaaad. well, you can't just think everything is going to be a-OK after you went on a killing spree in PV. It's going to take people a while to get used to the idea that the tumor made you do it. I wish they went about redeeming him another way. the tumor thing was RIDICULOUS.

Okay I'm totally biased on this but I absolutely hate it when Jonathan rants about the Chandlers. He just has no place for that. I'm sorry but any parent would freak out to learn a triple murderer secretly took Santa's place and was playing with their kids. But somehow JR and Babe are evil for being upset.
Plus Jonathan doesn't talk that way about anyone else. Zach actually beat him up and he never says a word, David tried to drug him...nothing. But JR yells at him and the Chandlers are all "evil." this from a guy who killed three people.
This show is so slanted its ridiculous.

i know...JR = evil.. right. we get it. i'm also afraid i'm going to turn my TV on one day and jonathan is going to be NORMAL again (no stuttering whatever) with no explanation. they've shown almost no progression with him. It's a shame. Jeff is was too talented for this garbage.

At the point, I would be happy if he was suddenly normal again. But he would still be too "good" for me to enjoy. I like darker characters.
Kendall, Jonathan, JR and Adam were my four favourite characters. Jonathan has been ruined for me, Kendall is being an idiot, and the show is so anti-JR/Adam that its just too frustrating to watch. These guys never get a break from the "you are evil" mantra. That's why I stopped watching. AMC just makes me angry.

My favs are Kendall and JR. And Kendall has been grating on my nerves lately.

To be honest..i'm torn on the whole damn thing! I've loved the friendship that developed between jon and lily and initially, i did'nt want to see it go any further but then they go and pull a stunt like they did yesterday with their dance! I'll admit it, i had tears in my eyes but at the same time, it REALLY pissed me off because that was the most romantic scene we've had on the show in MONTHS!! possibly YEARS!!! and it's given to the most questionable "couple" on the show. I felt like they really put forth an effort in that scene. did they learn their lesson about notes on balloons and sand castles? LMAO..come to think of it, the zendall scenes would have been more appropriate for Jily! ;D
I personally wish that Jeff and Levin did'nt have so much chemistry! that's another reason that it's hard for me to NOT get behind them as a couple. I know it's wrong but at the same time...lol..my guilty pleasure i guess.
As for the kiss...it's one of two things...either it was because Levin is sick OR they just are'nt going to go there. The reason they did'nt show the kiss was because there was'nt one. If you watch it again, look closely, they're more cheek to cheek than anything. his mouth was no where near hers.
As far as NuJon verses the original..of course old jon was better but i'm a "take him any way i can get him" type gal when it comes to Jeff. I'm not sure fans would be as upset had he initially came in this way. For me atleast, to judge him on this role alone, he's nailing it but of course we know what else he's capable of so we're screwed. Jeff always said, once he returned, that Jonathan would always have an edge. Has that changed? i don't know. If Jon is to regain his edge, i would'nt expect it til May sweeps for obvious reasons.

See I'm not a "take what I can get" person. I want the real deal or I don't want anything, because this has ruined my opinion of Jonathan. I would have preferred he stay dead to this.
I'm bitter at TPTB about it too. I feel like I was promised chocolate and was given rat poison. LOL.
