Sorry Thomas I knew the writers would ATTEMPT to do something like this. But wait guys "this is why Beth IS the way she is" in a feeble attempt to garner some sympathy for this despicable character and it didn't work. Beth is cold, cruel, and 100% unlikeable. There is basically nothing they can do to make me feel otherwise.
@I totally agree with you.
Already as a kid she was a pain in the butt then after her mother’s death , as a young teen, she was fooling around wearing clothes to provoke the men on the ranch .. then she connected with Rip and got pregnant.
To avoid her father’s anger , disapproval and disappointment , she went to Jaime and unloaded her shit onto him.
At the time Jaime was one year older, still a teen too , and I honestly don’t think he understood the psychological damage Beth would late experience due to the sterilisation.
Beth also hid from Rip that she was actually pregnant. It was his child too.
The truth is she didn’t want the child…it was a problem.
She didn’t want to face the consequences of her actions going to her father.
She wanted the easy way out ..get an abortion and go scott free. Daddy didn’t have to know she was shagging Roy.
Let’s face it .. she was no lost runaway teen with no money, with only abortion as an option.
She could have faced her father’s anger etc and had the baby .
I don’t feel sorry for her ..she was expecting a child but she wanted it gone and she paid a price.
As for their father…. Dutton let Beth mistreat Jaime for years … he never bothered to question/ ask her why.
Also when finally years after the cat was out of the bag , Dutton went ballistic with Jamie. As if he had no blame.
As a parent Dutton sinks especially towards Jamie.
Beth messed up her own life making the wrong choices.
