Members dragonflies Posted May 27, 2009 Members Share Posted May 27, 2009 An Unholy Alliance This can't end well. Parker Snyder-the troubled too-cool-for-school teenager played by Mick Hazen-will soon discover that his mom, Carly, is still boozing like there's no tomorrow. "She's only pretending to go to her AA meetings," notes Hazen. "When Parker catches her drinking, Carly offers him a deal. She says '"If you don't tell anyone about my drinking, I won't give you a hard time for dropping out of school and being a screwup,'" This throws Parker for a loop. "I think he secretly wants to be disciplined and forced to go to school, but he goes along with the offer," Hazen says. "He has no idea how much of a problem his mom really has. He's not old enough to understand addiction. He doesn't realize it's a disease." It won't take long for the boy to regret the arrangement. Carly gets loaded and nearly plows her car into her lover, Craig. "Parker's hit with a ton of guilt," Hazen says. "Eventually he's going to realize he's been enabling his mom and that's he's only made things worse-and then he'll really beat himself up. It's a horrible position for a kid to be in."

Members JellicleCat Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well cry me a river! I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for Parker. He deserves everything he gets, and then some. I haven't detested a character this much since..........you know, come to think of it I don't think I've ever detested a character this much.
