I liked the storyline when it aired. I found the story to be brave, groundbreaking, true to life and incredibly realistic. Sadly, Zarf faced some real life truths in his short time in Pine Valley, and I loved every bit of it! Making him a suspect in the fusion murder mystery was very intentional. My personal earliest memories of seeing trans people on tv were all negative depictions (as weirdos, freaks, psychos, and serial killers.) it felt like someone behind the scenes were trying to address, at least that’s my perception of what was airing on my screen.
@FrenchBug82 is accurate, since Bianca was a big part of his story, it was rejected as soon as started since it wasn’t the storyline/pairing viewers wanted for her. Ironic if you ask me, so many transgenders feel rejected by Society as it is, people have a way of rejecting what they don’t understand. Was it the story perfect? No. But we loss out in the end, I had hoped to witness the full transformation and seeing Zoe become a fully realized character and a pillar of the community.
