Well you know I hated them and I mentioned it even before they were axed.
I hate their characters. They bore the pants of me. Dominate the soap and squeeze any good qualities currently in it.
No way can I be talked round. I haven't heard anything on here that would even slightly change my mind. Why do I suspect they both have such a hug fan base (particularly Jake) is due to their "good looks" :D
But if the interest in this development isn't there there's no point. Yes we might become interested in them once they're developed but in the meantime it's not helping the show when they're boring.
That's exactly why Joel/Jake has a big following :DQuote:

I think that's the whole point of character development though. It's very common for viewers to dislike new characters only for them to grow on us longer down the line. The Slaters for example- they were under quite a bit of critisism for thier first year but now people love them (or 'many'). It would be a bit odd for everyone to like them straight away (even though many have)Quote:

There are currently 3 people on here of well over what must be about 150 people who have contributed who dislike them. It suprises me thats all! You only have to read 9/10 of the total posts to realise that they are liked (and massively OTT).Quote:

Yeah well you don't know whether you like someone or not until you get to know their characters but it's got to have something there originally where you actually think of the dynamic and what their characters are about or could be about. Personally I couldn't care less about finding out more about Jake or Danny if it involves them being in the scenes.
One of Kathleen Hutchison's downfalls was using these Moon Brothers too much. No wonder she was booted when she wanted to axe the Slaters next!!! :eek:
Maybe I have, if so i'm sorry!. I agree with you on this one! but we all need to remember there is a wide age range on this board and you were a bit harsh!! :)Quote:

I dont fancy Jake or Danny though and I really don't think the 'looks' excuse can be applied for thier huge fan base. Maybe thats the reason for some (and if it is -so lame)but I get the impression that the characters are geuninely liked.
