Joel and Maggie

I'm a US viewer. I believe we're getting S3 now.

I really used to like Maggie. She was one of my favorite characters. But what happened to her after losing the baby and breaking up with Gavin? She's so wishy washy and self-centered now. I don't really like this character anymore.

Are we supposed to like Joel and want to see him together with Alex? I'm not feeling it at all. He jumps from one woman to another like nothing. I know the outcome of the Alex/Joel pairing. In the last ep that aired she broke up with him finally. He's already moved on to someone else. Charlie is so much better for Alex. He truly loves her.

The only thing i have a problem with regarding Charlie is that after he woke up from his coma and could still see ghosts, he pushed Alex away because he didn't want to subject her to that. But he doesn't understand when she pushes him away after waking from her coma. He should be a little more understanding and giver her some time to adjust from the trauma.

Aside from these two, i really love all the characters and so far all the sub-stories have been really well written and interesting. I even grew to love Dawn.

Maggie is interesting all right, and will only continue to get more complicated. I wonder if the writers are just simply confused about where they want her character to go. She seems to be the wild card, can be paired with anyone or used for any storyline. She seems to have replaced Melanda as Alex's best friend. I like her as a whole and the actress does a good job with what she's given but I hope they can pick one path for her.

Joel...once a womanizer, always one. He will never be able to settle down.

Charlie was lead by his experience with ghost-Alex. I think he forgot some of their past...the fact that he left her and that they weren't a couple right before her accident. Her ghost says she loves him and she wants to have a baby, so surely human Alex wants the same thing. The more he pushed her the more it confused her and drove her away.

Though Charlie is easily my favorite character, the show has several that I really like. I too grew to love Dawn, even liked the brief time she had with Charlie, which I wouldn't have thought possible during the first season. Zach, Shahir, and Jackson are some of my other favorites.

Milo, I've told you again and again - please, don't walk on the chickens!

I totally agree about Dawn. I couldn't picture the two of them together and wondered how that ever happened. But then when they got back together briefly i just really liked them together. And i'm glad they showed this other side to Dawn. Now even when she's being her usual self, she doesn't bother me as much.

Prior to this it felt like she was always picking on Alex out of spite and jealousy. Now Alex is really shining as a doc and a surgeon and i think she's getting more respect from Dawn and the others seem to look up to her.

Love Zach, love Shahir.

I'm a bit iffy on Dana. I really liked her in the earlier seasons, but now since her cancer diagnosis she's a bit all over the place. But i absolutely cannot stand her bratty daughter. And I hate to see Dana not parenting her and just letting her get away with everything.

In real life, back then in 2014 & 2015 Erica was pregnant and had her son Lochlan on February 10, 2015. Season 3, one aspect is the we find out Alex is pregnant and with Erica being pregnant in real life. If Charlie, left Alex alone and had not taking care of her .....Alex spent most of Session 3 with Joel ....Then the baby would be definitely only Joel is the Father and get all of Charlie Fans (Me included) mad!!! .....So, the writers wrote in that Charlie moved in and was taking care of Alex right after her stabbing....Alex & Charlie must have sex together when he was taking care of her.....Then Charlie ask Alex to marry him ....Alex, told Charlie that she does not love him and Charlie moves out ....Soon, right after Alex had sex with Joel ......So, we don't know is the biological Father to Baby Luke .....Even after watching the entire Season 4 the writers would not say who is the Biological Father to baby Luke and I don't think will and piss off either the Joel Fan club or the Charlie Fan club and lose some viewers. Charlie & Alex are loving, caring & raising Luke in Season 4 ......So, sometimes you have to what's real is Actress/Actor life as to what is going to happen on the T.V. Show....
