Members DRW50 Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 They sent both of his kids packing at young ages, and the show just ignores any ambiguity because it's easier to write Paul as a deadbeat. He's not a man with balls, like Sheffer's beloved Chompers, Adam, Ronan, Victor, et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 The show claimed that was "rough sex." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 That doesn't really mean anything, especially since I viewed the rape, or whatever it was, as a huge OOC move for Paul's character, who for DECADES was anything but deadbeat. I don't even know why they did that sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 Paul gave his child to the child's grandparents and couldn't be bothered being around for the rest of his life. Ricky was yelling at him about it the other day how Paul didn't do much visiting to him or his mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted June 2, 2012 Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 Paul called it rape. Cricket didn't but accepted his apology for it. That's a retcon. Ricky did live with Isabella's parents but Paul did visit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeeeDee Posted June 2, 2012 Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 After everything with Isabella & getting (somewhat) back together with Cricket he felt Ricky was better off with Isabella's parents. But he did visit Ricky regularly (unlike Aunt Jack with Keemo & Kyle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lovely_m Posted June 2, 2012 Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 I always thought that the reason for the rape/rough sex was to put Paul and Micheal on equal footing. When it comes to Ricky, Paul is getting the Esther treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lovely_m Posted June 2, 2012 Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yep, but what I meant was that Esther was made out to be an awful parent like Paul is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted June 2, 2012 Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 It was to an extent. It was also an excuse to give Doug & LLB more "challenging" material. Unfortunately it was meaningless because LLB chose to go recurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
