EA's Matthew going to SE's Destiny for booty calls is jarring..I doubt nuDestiny will resemble SE. NuDestiny may be a lot thinner and more attractive

He never even had a sexual interest in Destiny, they were just drunk and depressed, or whatever. Him going to her for booty calls would be jarring. This sounds like they took the basic character background and left all of the rest out.

IA.

Then I wonder why this story is even needed for these particular characters. It's very odd to me. I have a feeling we're going to see Destiny on a stripper pole soon enough.

(I'm not being sarcastic - I really think that. And I wish this show would not have this type of story, over and over, for black women)

Here's a thought: what if the "SugarDaddy.com" business is not what Matthew thinks it is? Perhaps someone else was using Destiny's computer to score rich, old men? Or perhaps Destiny is doing some sort of undercover work (for the police department, for the campus paper, or for whatever) in order to expose someone or something? I mean, that could be possible...couldn't it?

Well, she's already got the name for it.

Well I paid for them. Am I not allowed to paste them?

Here's the summary:

Matthew stops by Destiny's apartment. It's clear they're not on good terms, as they're somewhat short with each other. Destiny says it isn't a good time, she's expecting someone. She goes into the other room to change Drew and Matthew is shocked by what he sees on Destiny's laptop - SugarDaddy.com. She tells him it's none of his business and he says yeah it is, you're the mother of my kid. Destiny says it's no big deal, it's not a crime to talk to them, entertain them, provide companionship. They show more respect for her than Matthew does. "You waltz in here when you've got a hard-on and then you disappear. And when you're gone, I still have a child to raise, bills to pay, like rent, tuition, doctor's bills." He says "So rich old men give you money for sex? Some mother." Matthew acknowledges that he didn't want to be part of that but he's going to draw the line, she's exposing him to sick, twisted stuff. She says he doesn't know anything and tells him to get out. Matthew says "You know, Destiny, I just realized you're nothing but a whore." She slaps him and says "Listen to me and listen good: you gave up any rights over my life when you chose not to have anything to do with our baby. So don't you dare judge me." She shoves him out the door and once he's gone, she bursts into tears.

EDIT: She also says 'sh!t' so I'm not sure if they're going for edgier dialogue

Wow.

Well she has that quote about providing companionship but yes, I think there is definitely room for miscommunication in the dialogue

IA. Hopefully it plays out better than the summary because it's not doing either character any favors. Matthew's douchebaggery has gone to a new level.

Wow.

Yeah, if this had happened under Frons' regime, chances are, Matthew would have called Destiny a dirty whore and said she only meant anything to him after she'd had been raped and left bleeding to death in the snow.

This story reminds me of girls in college (which I would presume Destiny is) working as strippers to pay for school. Maybe it's something along that vein, being some sort of escort but not actually sleeping with anyone.

Then she is doing it on the QT, because no way would Bo and Nora allow that to go on. Shaun, too, for that matter.

Damn, I wish I wasn't 32 years too old to play baby Drew. Bein' all mixed and cussin' and sh!t...

On the bright side it's already more realistic than Starr/Cole/Hope.

Damn. It is. That's just sad.

If this is the story then Matthew would be one of the most disgusting characters on a soap.

I also end up wondering if the last page has him getting shot in a robbery, with Llanview's new reverend asking if he will accept Jesus as his savior. Matthew flatlines and then spends the entire next episode running from cardboard cutouts of Tyler Perry.

And when you remember Casey's attitude toward Gwen and their baby on AS THE WORLD TURNS, that is saying a LOT. LOL.

I wish this story would get all Tyler Perry. "Madea's Life to Live."
