It's it that abnormal. He likely feels he needs to be that stereotype of aman. Controlling, powerful, dominating. Overcompensating because he feels less than a man. I'm just saying in general, I don't mean him specifically. I've seen guys in the closet like that. They'd full of fear and anger.

Kyle is a really interesting character to me. I think some day we are going to find out that absolutely horrific things happened to Kim and/or Kyle in their childhood. It's not an excuse for Kyle's behavior, but I do think that certain experiences can be formative and are not easily overcome. Kathy seems healthier. Maybe because we haven't seen to much of her or maybe because she escaped whatever happened, since she was older.

The relationship between Kyle/Kim is just so unhealthy and interdependent. It's like Kyle really needs Kim to be sick. She's obsessed with her sister on some strange level. The way she was spying on her in Hawaii was just OTT. Sometimes you have to just let things go and let other people live. Kyle seems completely incapable of that. She has a husband and 4 kids and yet the primary relationship in her life seems to be her sister.

I really do not understand why Kyle would let her relationship with Lisa crumble, but I suspect it's show drama to some extent. Kyle seemed markedly nicer in season 1. I'm a little suspicious that the producers asked her to create more drama. idk.

I think Kyle believes she could or should be in the same league as Lisa, in terms of saying witty comments and being Queen Bee, but she is failing miserably. She's like Jill Zarin of NY, thinking she could be the smartest, sassiest woman of the show instead of Bethenny, but ended up sabotaging herself.

I absolutely think horrific things happened to them growing up. We already have heard about how sadly common molestation of child actors has been and while I feel wrong even speculating on that I think it explains so much bout them.

As for Kyle losing her friendship with Lisa I think it was a series of events. Kyle agreeing to attack her with Adrienne at the reunion, Brandi arriving in their lives and standing by Lisa against them at said reunion creating a string bind that blossomed into a great friendship, Lisa's issues with Kyle never staning up or her, etc. I hope selling Adrienne's house was worth it. I do think kl saw herself as the star of this series and Lisa took off. Even Brandi has outshined her and it kills her.

I understand why...because it became out of Kyle's control. Let's face it, Lisa is the one who pulled the plug on the friendship and she repeatedly gave Kyle enough rope to hang herself time and time again because she figured out how insincere Kyle actually was.

Indeed, she was a part of assembling the cast and as Camille revealed in S1 even has points in the show. However, Andy hired Lisa before he hired Kyle, he says so in his book, Most Talkative, stating that once he'd found Lisa he knew he'd finally found the Joan Collins he'd been searching for and I'm sure from that moment onwards Kyle died a little inside.

    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
