See, Rick, I never thought Coop and Ava were that bad. They never really got a chance. As soon as Ava got together with him Alan-Michael was thrust in her direction, etc.

It was the beginning of Kreizman's obsession with continuously juggling the couples. You never knew who to root for... that, in my mind, is part of what's wrong with GL today.

Are you serious? Coop and Julie 2.0 were bloody awful. They had zero chemistry with each other, they were so boring and it didn't help that they were screentesting Michelle Ray Smith with everyone who had a penis. I will say she was a lot better when she was opposite Michael Dempsey(Alan-Michael). But Coop and Ava and their "Summer Solstice" romance were about as fun as watching grass grow.

Coop should have been thrust into the Tammy/Jonathan/Lizzie triangle. I liked the two of them together during Jonathan's ITL, when he envisioned a world where he told the truth about being Lizzie's baby's daddy and he was forced into marrying her. Was probably the only time I liked Coop during the whole time I watched the show.

Coop had the potential to be such an interesting, dynamic character. They didn't need to make him a villain, but he should have been anything but boring. Offspring of a Vietnam vet and international jewel thief? And this is the best they could do? Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Rick, I think you hit on something I did. When Ava and A-M were thrown together, it went nowhere. Ava and Remy sort of went someplace.

Likewise when Ashlee was thrown in Coop's direction. They spent all this time having Ava antagonize Ashlee, and when Ashlee and Coop got together we saw them, what, maybe once or twice on screen? Same for A-M and Marina. Granted, I didn't care for the pairing, but it lasted all of what, a few weeks and disintegrated?

I blame most of what I've seen the last few years on stories with no thought put into them. It's way too soon to tell, but from what I've seen so far Jill Hurst seems to get it. The problem is she's got Wheeler as a boss, and we know what that means.
