Wrong person leaving
senior opinion

I hate to see (Mike) leave. I wish the gay script had never been brought into this. I've watched this show since 1967 and really hate the writers feel they have to degrade the show by bringing in a gay issue.

I realize there are many gays, but it's ... It sure doesn't help me when my teenager walks in and asks questions.

The teen storyline is great....it's good that this is being brought out, especially since the morals of society are such.

I know many who share my thoughts

I hate to see mike leave too.

I am not a "fan" of the gay storyline but I am not bothered by it. I think its actually pretty tame. I may feel different if this was on showtime or HBO.

I like the teen storyline for pretty much what it is I dont have kids so I have not read into it any further.

Yeah, I think we all have storylines we aren't fans of. Someone mentioned before about fastfowarding through them. That's what I do. For me, it's Henry and Vienna. I don't even know why--I used to think Henry was funny. I guess I've just lost interest. I still think the actors are great, though. So, that's no diss on them. I am just not fond of their story right now.

i think what we are missing about henry is the debonair way he used to act. That's why I wanted him to be part of Metro.

Oh, and about Mike. I really like him and it's not the actors fault they couldn't come up with a decent sl for him. Now that Holden and Lily are on the rocks I thought he could get closer to Lily.

I would hope your teenager knows about homosexuality. I don't see it being a big shock for them to see it on TV.

We're all entitled to our opinions, but you sound a little mean. You don't have to say it's disgusting, even if that's how you feel or you don't agree with it. You could offend someone.

Anywho, I agree that there are always s/l that we just don't like. For me it's Paul & Meg (TOTALLY BORING IMO), and Allison kind of annoys me.

;( I hope you are using those times as a teaching moment and are explaining to your teen that God made each of us in his/her image and that God loves all of his creatons. As a 56yo Gay man I really appreciate how TV educates. My beef is with children having sex, protected or not. 15 is just to young to give in to hormones.

When do they stop being children? I agree that Parker and Liberty are too young, but there are SO many people who are itching for Luke and Noah to have sex and that to me is just creepy. (Not because they're gay, just because it's weird to me that we wish for people to have sex.) There is an age difference there obviously, but it's weird to me that we WANT one couple to have sex and we're furious that another one is.

As for this Parker/Liberty storyline it's so infuriating. How someone like Carly can tell ANYONE that they're doing something wrong is beyond me. Do we really believe she was a virgin until she became an "adult"? Seriously, if the worst thing Parker does with his life is lose his virginity at the age of 15 then he did a damn good job of NOT following in his mother's footsteps.

Well I don't think it's so much that people WANT them to have sex (that would be creepy lol), it's just that most people don't think it's fair they haven't done it yet, even though they've been together for so long, and every other couple does it every other minute (so to speak). It was like the whole kissing controversy. It's not like people are like, "WE WANT TO SEE THEM KISS NOW!" (well some were, lol), but they were a perfectly happy couple with no problems at that point, yet they went without kissing for months. That was clearly because of the writers not treating them like they would a straight couple (due to negative reaction from certain viewers). And you're right about the age difference between Nuke and Parker and Liberty, but that's really the reason why most people oppose Parker and Lib's sexual activity, not to mention, they haven't even expressed any deep emotion toward each other more than saying, "I like you", whereas Nuke have declared their love for each other countless times.

Anywho, I agree Carly isn't the best person and certainly not the greatest role model for her children, but she is his mother, and there's no denying that Parker is too young and made a mistake. I couldn't believe he had the audacity to say, "So I had sex with Liberty and didn't really think of all the consequences, but does that remind you of somebody?". There IS a difference there. YOU'RE A KID! She's an adult. She can make her own choices no matter how bad they may be, and there are certain things she can do that you shouldn't be doing (i.e. SEX!). And also when he said, "It's okay, we used protection." THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT!

That's the thing about Parker. We all expect him to be better than Carly, and to make the right choices, but right now, he's turning into her. He's being reckless because he somehow feels like he can do whatever he wants just because Mommy isn't Mrs. Cleaver Goody-Two-Shoes, and he's not taking the GOOD advice of his loved ones who KNOW BETTER THAN HIM into consideration just because of Carly's mistakes. Parker wants to be a big boy and have sex like a grown-up, he needs to start acting like one and making the decisions he knows are responsible, and stop trying to get into Liberty's pants. He acts all high and mighty to Carly (just like Jack) and tells her she's a s lut and talks down to her, but he's not trying to make the right choices either.

I have no problem with Carly calling him out on his mistake. It's her job as a mother, and I would rather have her step up now that she's realized her mistakes and wants to be there for the kids, than stay out of it because she feels like she doesn't deserve Parker's respect. And Carly may have gotten around, but I have a feeling even she didn't lose her virginity when she was Parker's age.

Wow this is good news.I wonder if he will come back to Lily? Help her out I know she really hurt. I know that Lily was seeing Dusty but her and Holden were split up. But what Holden has done with his sister-in law and Lily best friend is unforgettable. I would kick him to the curb too.
