The tables have turned and that's ridiculous
But I'm not buying it!
Ever since the rape, Finn has had a sense of control/power and confidence, he doesn't suck up to Robbie anymore he winds him up.
Me neither. Especially after how horrible Robbie was in the classroom to JP. However, it is obvious they are going the redemption route.
Robbie has always been all mouth, he always tries to get someone to do his dirty work. You never seem him to try and take on someone he knows will batter him, it's people he deems to be 'weaker'.
Robbie is equal in strength and is now on his guard. If they are now saying he is terrified of Finn then we have another personality transplant. What he should do is talk to JP and go to the police as he can verify what happenened to the evidence and Finn's location.
The trouble with this s/l as others have pointed out is the educational message is being lost in order to drag out the drama. Surely the message should be to feel emboldened enough to go to the police and have enough support to obtain justice. Heaping endless pain onto JP would make anyone in a similar situation despair!
Really what lesson as anyone learnt in this. If JP had PTSD he would have locked himself in his home and would not have come out. He would jump at every sound and touch. It is really silly to have him teach his attacker and go on a trip with him just to be able to save his life.
Agreed. Sorry but anyone would be scared, a least a little bit, if a rapist threatened to rape them. It would be irrational not to be.
I don't know why people don't want to see Robbie redeemed tbh. What's the point in him never having any growth as a character or staying a horrible little person? I'd much rather see him feel the guilt of what he's had a part in and redeem himself.
Having JP having to safe his attacker, spend time at school with him etc this is not the sort of message that should be sent out to victims, getting justice is and showing the process and impact it has on JP & his family and that of the attackers, the only impact I can praise is it looks like JP is having a breakdown because of the trauma but the rest just doesn't fit.
Where is JP family, we barely see any interaction, the show just a jumble sale atm, this is lucky to get screen time one minute to the next and it just leaves you feeling frustrated at it's portrayal.
Robbie says horrible stuff but I think the point is to show that even he has a limit wheras finn has no compunction about committing horrendous acts.
His family (Nana) has noticed but JP is not ready to tell, and his family have always been selfish.
I like this sl, every situation is unique and although I'd like to see it more I think they have done a good job so far.
Also people can have different degrees of psychological problems. Just because JP can leave his house doesn't mean he doesn't have PTSD. If you think that's true you don't understand that condition very well.
What for me is unbelievable is the Finn wants Robbie to go ahead with the charge against JP. The criminal process is out of Finn's control, so at any time JP could end this by saying he was raped by Finn and Robbie was involved. He did go to the police on the night it happened which Finn and Robbie both know.
Agree, you just need to look at Ste to show how redemption can be good. I want to see Robbie feel guilty (but also get punished), I'd rather see that than him just staying horrible.
is that really possible ?
Mercedes doesn't grow and people don't like that and she has done worse things than Robbie so he certainly can be redeemed i mean it doesn't mean people have to forget what he said and did to JP but he does need to grow as you said and he isn't necessarily going to be a saint.
