Parker the stalker.

for an angry distant emo type of kid, it didn't take much to shake parker out of his shell. i never doubt teenage hormones, especially with boys but wow...this kid has turned from keeping to himself to borderline stalking. he just showed up at her apartment out of nowhere and in a creepy kind of way! like right there with liberty turned around. i would never have suspected seeing liberty (by the way she came on) as the more mature one in this situation. wow. parker, the obsessive behavior is scaring me!

I think it would be great to take a character we've seen grow up and turn him into a psychopath. I mean, Will went a bit nuts, but I think they're taking Parker down a very dark road. Could be interesting if they have the guts to do it.

lol yep that is not a bad idea at all and true, will actually murdered someone when he was a kid. why not? it would make it interesting to see him go down an obsessive path and having some mental problems to deal with. not to mention i could see this with parker b/c he has sooo much anger inside of him. JJ is much more happy go lucky than parker is so seeing parker have a mental meltdown would be believable - then they could catch it and he could recover in all due time with therapy. on the bright side this kind of storyline could raise awareness of such issues? i think you are on to something.

Parker is not a stalker, this is his first crush and this is a soap so they over exaggerate things. As time goes by the crush will weaken and things will move on, probably as soon as he meets another girl who shows him attention. I think Parker is a sweet kid he's just going through that time of life we've all gone through where we do things that seem normal at the time when we look back on them we would say what the hell was I thinking. So please don't be to harsh on Parker he has a heart of gold and would never hurt anyone.

i'm not trying to be harsh on parker but he did come across as stalker"ish" by showing up out of the blue like he did. that is from my perspective. most of what i say about a character is merely in jest since it's all fictional.

I think that Parker is just a love sick teenager. It's pretty common, from what I remember, for a young boy to do things like that, at his age.

it may be but he's still on the extreme side in my book. i've had guys that called too much etc, but not any that just showed up at my house and appeared suddenly in my face w/out some sort of invite or prior announcement. some boys may behave that way, i think most don't. that just seemed extreme. again, my perspective. most persistent guys i dealt with took the hint after they were pushed away. i think parker is a character with a lot of anger inside and is a bit fixated on liberty. i kinda like JoeyzBoy's idea of taking the character down a dark road of obsession. but i'm kinda twisted that way.

That would probably be a good s/l, I agree. But, I'm kind of sad for Parker already.He's just had a very brutal childhood. I mean he thought he had killed a man.It has always been something!But, if we're going down that road, then let's make it good.Yeh, I agree.

there are days i felt bad for parker but he's also hard to deal with at times besides the things he's gone through. JJ has had a lot to deal with too but he is not half as harsh as parker. i don't agree with parker slamming his mother the way he did regardless. the situations were adult situations and although i don't agree with her and holden, but it's not a reason to call her disrespectful names. that's still his mother. carly has mistakes..don't i know it. i don't like her and holden at all!!! but he seems to take the stance of jack alot and jack has a lot of nerve. he's not perfect. no matter what, both jack and carly love parker. If the story did explore a dark road, i would hope it would wind up with him being ok, no one is hurt and a lesson learned. i just think it would interesting like the other poster said.

I agree that would be great if they took Parker down that road to Psychoville where he calls Lib on her phone 10hrs a day and he's constantly following her. I love it! Of course Jack will get mad at Carly again! Of course Jack blames Carly for all of Parkers problems because of what she has done recently and in her past. I can't say I blame him, but I think Jack should take responsibility as well.

i think it would be funny too b/c that stuff does happen...but yeah....it would be carly's fault all the way according to jack. i'm sure he would blame her but it would be cool if they actually came together as "friends" and managed to rekindle things slowly throughout it all. i still got hope for carly and jack. i think it would be neat to see him and carly as friends like he and katie were first tho.

Friends would be great for Carly and Jack. I don't see a romance blossoming anytime soon. They've been there and back so many times. It just doesn't work for them. Jack can't trust Carly. Trust is so important in a relationship and Carly has let him down in so many ways. That's why I think it's good that he and Janet are a couple. They have a lot of common and they have great chemistry.

Cant' wait to see how Parker reacts to seeing Liberty with another guy, he may go balistic or he may stay calm.

I agree, too. If they want to go down that road with Parker, then it really needs to be done to the letter. Not like the rushed, contrived storytelling of Sophie all of a sudden becoming obsessed with Paul. That was really shoddy writing and a waste of a sweet character. We know Parker very well, so hopefully the show will respect the viewers and give them so excellent storytelling here. Parker already seems the dark, brooding type. Let's go with it!

What guy, though? Ooh, maybe JJ? That would be intense--like a Brad/Carly/Jack thing all over again... But I was hoping that the show would pair Parker with Faith. They had chemistry going on when they were in therapy. Now, despite the fact that they're the same age, Parker's being played as older and Faith as younger. Odd. Let's give Faith some maturity and go with this set b/c I'm so over Casey and Allison and Aaron. It was awesome with Maddie and Will and Gwen and Jade--remember the knife killer?--but now we don't have much of anything here. So let's spice it up some.
