Absolutely! Ironic that one of the things that made DS unique led to its ultimate downfall. With all the zigzagging all over the different time periods, it was nearly impossible to form any sort of real emotional attachment to characters that might not be around long.
The David/Hallie story is just out of touch with reality on any level. The kids are really too old for a governess and much too old for that playroom. Teenagers have been sneaking off forever and are usually acting on raging hormones. This is never even considered, not even by Carolyn, who did her share of acting out.
It might have been wiser to send David off to college and have him come back older, possibly played by a new actor. Perhaps even with a fiancée or wife with a few family secrets of her own.
