Members AlexElizabeth Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 So what was the point of Rafe doing drugs? It didn't cause the accident with Patrick and it didn't cause Rafe's death. We don't even know why he was suddenly randomly doing drugs. Pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 Thats RC for you. Take a legacy character like Rafe (He is a Barrington and they were big on GH in the 80's) and make him a plot point while newbies connected to no one get front burner story Its all [!@#$%^&*]!!!

Members Cheap21 Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 Legacy character....what an overrated term and especially in a case like this with Twat Boy I think the reason why he started was obvious. Rafe explained it and it made sense. He felt alone and had no one. His mother dead. His father dead. Silas wasn't really paying him much attention. Molly rejected him. He had no friends. He had a lot of sh-t piled up on him. I remember on this board that people complained that he acted too perfect and should have been messed up given how messed up his life was. Well it is now and that's how it should have been from the start. The flaw is that they didn't show us him experimenting for the first time and getting hooked. He disappeared for months and comes back a druggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 The Barringtons weren't a main family and Rafe was conceived on Port Charles after 2000, so he isn't a legacy character like Tom Hardy Jr. (whose been forgotten not sure if this is a good or bad thing). Rafe sounded like he was going to tell Molly that someone put him up to running the car off the road. That could be tied into him using as he owed money for drugs and the hit and run was to repay the debt or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 I am sure they will connect his drug to Luke and Julian bringing drugs into PC. Frankly, considering the kid's death got Sabrina out of town for a few months I think he deserves a medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted July 13, 2014 Members Share Posted July 13, 2014 I think the best thing they could do with Patrick Drake is make him a dark, moody doctor a la Phil Brewer, Jim Hobart, Tony Jones...let him become a real bastard, then have someone [Robin's return or Sam] bring him back from the brink. Patrick [JT] looks so bored for the last year, give him some real material to work with, it's not like he can't handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 13, 2014 Members Share Posted July 13, 2014 I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted July 13, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 13, 2014 Patrick is the Mary Ingalls of soaps. Never have I seen a character this tortured. Jonathan Jackson left for this very reason (thank God). He said it was too much and never ending. ATP, I'd just like Patty to pack up Emma and leave. But right now, we have to watch him bond with Sam to fulfil JT's guarantees so that they don't get too far behind This thing with Sam is totally Twitter influenced. But whatever, when I watch, I ff it anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted July 14, 2014 Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'd rather suffer through Sam and Patrick than Sam and Silas. Although on that note all of them could leave tomorrow and I wouldn't blink an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cuzIsaySo Posted July 14, 2014 Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 Someone explains to me like Im five how Dr O can imagine anything having to do with Franco would be good publicity. Isnt there still a civil lawsuit against him brought up by his victims' family? How would that persuade any one to fund anything involving franco? The todd-ification of franco is now complete smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cuzIsaySo Posted July 14, 2014 Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 True but i was still holding out some sort of hope. I cant imagine no one standing up and pointing out how absurd the whole story is at one point or another Or is RC really running his writing staff like some sort of dictature?
