Beating up on Noah again


Noah went to jail, then had some psychotic spell, then his family hated him. Now he is getting me-too’d. I am bored with seeing Noah fall down, then fall again and again. Bringing #metoo into this, and from the angle of harassing a male character, is cheap and sensationalized.

I got a feeling he will commit suicide over this too, I knew that Hot Tub scene was gonna come back again and bite him (when they do previously on before the episode its bleeding obvious it was also going to come up!)

we only got one mention of him in the 30 year future. where Jonnie seemed to not really care about Noah, so perhaps he did kill himself we will have to wait and see. I also predict Helen might finally come out and say she was the one he went to jail for.

Sheesh, depressing. Wish all the characters fell into the ocean last season.

I think he will die trying to save someone (maybe Stacy)-- and that will complete his redemption.

When i saw the hot tub scene in the "previouslies" I had to dust off the cobwebs to remember when that happened.

reply

Well we were very close! I thought he was gonna die for sure last night! but I think they might be going with the happy ending for the final episode it started with Noah and Helen it will end that way. possibly

reply

I think the finale will have an old Noah and Joanie coming together over Alison's killer Ben.
I've heard speculation that EJ is the spawn of Sierra and Vic but he sure doesn't look like he would be..But people casting these days don't care about heredity and genes and how someone should naturally look.
So who knows?
Noah and Helen? Who knows here either..They're heavily teasing toward a reunion between them so I doubt they'll follow through. But maybe.

reply

I think EJ would be Sierra's son if this were a Dickens' novel. But that would be just too coincidental.

I do think that Noah and Helen will end up together and we'll get to see them at Whitney's wedding.

I am sick of it too.
This would only be worthwhile if they had the balls to realize that accepting what any woman says enough to ruin other peoples lives is a dangerous precedent. But they won't .
It's a complex issue and too late in the game to get into just to once again rant about Noah's assholery.
He was a jerk when he found success after years of failure. And he had an affair!! Success going to someone's head is hardly a novel concept. Look at celebrities..Look at shows like Breaking Bad. It's familiar territory. Hardly uncommon.
I've seldom seen anyone try harder than he to redeem himself.
But they have to remind us at every turn that they think he's a douche that deserves nothing good over and over again.

reply

That really summed it up well.
