I apologize for starting a new thread just for this thought, but I couldn't find an existing thread that I could attach this to. I'm baffled by this Natalia shooting storyline. Today, she was moaning to Brot that it was a "by the book" shooting and she wants to be back out on the street. What?? She walks into a situation about which she knows absolutely nothing, finds herself behind a man with a gun and fires at him without assessing the situation or without warning him to put down the gun. Shoot first and ask questions later? That's what they taught her at the Police Academy? There's her father, the Chief of Police, talking to the man with the gun (Aidan, but she didn't even have time to know that), and big shot Natalia, first day on the street, comes to the rescue by trying to take out the man with the gun??? She didn't think Jesse could handle it? What a cowboy move. And what's worse, nobody, from Jesse on down, reprimanded her for her rashness. I'm really put off by Natalia's self-righteous arrogance. She thinks she knows better than anyone else, no matter what the situation. Tone her down a little, Pratt, if you want us to like her at all.
Talk about corruption and cover ups in the present administration from bribing judges (adam) to go ahead and take care of your friends (Jesse'/pratt) Yeah Natalia seemed to be trigger happy and a new cadet know it all since daddy will just cover it up anyway. All the shows on ABC have such corruption in the police dept and mayors office these days.
GH is the worst!...Good guys are bad, bad guys are good!
I don't watch GH, I only see bits of it because I tape AMC with some leeway at the end in case of interruptions and I see all the promos. But from what I've seen, Pine Valley doesn't have a corner on the corruption market. GH really romanticizes Sonny and his crew, especially the one who's his hit man. The lines really are blurred when it comes to the characterizations, eh?
UM OLTL HAD A DRUG SELLING MAYOR that puts hits on kids. Lets not forget about the old Chief before Bo.
Jesse also threw a body off a cliff and tried to cover up a murder.Don't get me wrong..I love Jesse and Darnell Wiliams but the show is not doing the character any favors. That said, Jesse has many many fans for years and years. We are going to cut him some slack and chalk it up to bad writing.Natalia..there is no excuse. Jesse at least made his choice to protect his family and friends. Natalia just used poor judgement when it comes to police practice and no one called her on it. And I have no affection or allegience to Natalia so I am disgusted by her attitude about this.
As I said before I also LOVE Jessie & I am so happy to have the family back, but I do think Jessie would be better as a Partner to Tad in a PI business...those 2 have always been good together.
You might have the right idea. While the office of Chief of Police is an honor for our dear old friend Jesse, his actions have been less than stellar of late. If he were a PI, we could look past his skirting the law a little more, but as a police officer he swore to uphold the law. Jesse never seemed to be the sort who would panic in any circumstance and do something rash. The writing is certainly doing him a disservice.
Here I am on my soapbox (pun intended!) again to complain about Natalia. The old man comes into the station to say he wants to report a murder, that he saw a woman run down by a car. Natalia, in her usual dismissive way, tells Brot to give him coffee and a donut and send him on his way??? Sure, don't bother to find out if this might have some validity, just ignore him because he's a street drunk. OMG, can't we relegate her to a desk in the evidence locker or something?? I'm so tired of listening to miss know it all!
