It doesn’t matter that they are focusing on their rebellious stage or not, & yes, it would be worse if she had pulled out a bottle of booze, but what I’m getting at is that these characters are not needed at all, PERIOD. The reason is because of the stories that aren’t being focused on because of them? What about the stories that the viewers want to see, do you really think that with what Colin & Talia had done to Chanel, do we really need to see what Holly plans to do Chanel to get into Johnny’s pants? Much less, Tate for that matter, meaning, that he thinks that it’s abhorrent to pay for what he did in California. Then this: it’s like watching wallpaper paste, yes, I know that we, the viewers have the option to not to watch, but what I’m getting at is that they are putting into play to have the viewers to make that decision, why would they do that?
