Well this is a bit of a sore point with me. Seems that the JF character always had to have the driver's seat in every storyline. I don't like it that [spoiler]he and Catherine were the ones to end the curse when Kendrick had been the one chosen in the lottery to go into the room. Kendrick was not Willie and he was determined to do his duty and do his best to end the curse so that Melanie would be free. But no, the writers have to have the JF character as the hero. Now they also deprived Quentin of his inheritance so again the JF character wins. I hadn't thought about the fact that Quentin had been in prison for murder being a detriment to his inheriting everything, that's a possibility. But they dropped him without a thought, even in the last episode they dropped a character and didn't let us know what had become of him. Maybe he died of appendicitis? In a way it doesn't set well with me either that Bramwell and Catherine who were adulterers were rewarded, but that's just me.[/spoiler]
Well first of all concerning Jonathan being the hero all the time, they probably should have let someone else save the day for once in fairness to the other characters/actors but I won't complain (sorry but Jonathan's my favorite actor on the show and love to see his characters save the day).
[spoiler]Not to take anything away from Kendrick, he was indeed a very brave and heroic guy, I loved the way he stood up to Julia and stood up for Melanie, he was indeed a selfless guy. I dare say that if Kendrick had gone in the room, he would have been just as capable as Bramwell in breaking the curse.
As for Bramwell and Catherine....I won't deny they were adulterers. But they were more or less also star-crossed lovers for years before they married the wrong people. Catherine was wrong to marry Morgan whom she didn't really love (even though she did keep saying she loved Morgan, I suspect she only did so to try and convince herself more than anyone she loved him and not Bramwell). She thought with her head instead of her heart when she chose to wed him and almost paid for it with her life.
Bramwell was wrong to marry Daphne when he clearly still loved and only wanted Catherine. I do think he did come to love Daphne (even though he did treat her kind of shabby after they first wed) but unfortunately it was too little too late....by the time he realizes this she grows ill and dies.
Bramwell shouldn't have married Daphne and Catherine shouldn't have married Morgan....but call me a hopeless romantic or a fool, I was pleased to see them get together in the end and that love conquered all.....
I must admit I would have liked to have seen Quentin at least be a partner in the business and Kendrick too but one cannot blame Kendrick and Melaine for wanting to get away from Collinwood and find happiness elsewhere.[/spoiler]
