    I had to pause the video to say this, Alex wouldn’t have probably even thought about doing something like the manhattan hinge for Jackie if it wasn’t for KILEY. cole fixed the tea pot without anyone telling him anything, he just knew how much she missed them & how much it meant to her. 🤷🏼‍♀️ but man props to kiley for giving him advice to find something that’s meaningful to her, bc if I were her, not sure I’d do the same 🤷🏼‍♀️ it lowkey bothers me that everyone thinks Alex is so sweet because of Manhattan hinge scene, that kiley basically helped him with. But when it comes to Cole (who don’t get me wrong has his flaws) they don’t think it’s as caring of him to fix the tea pot (which obviously meant more to her imo) it just seems like everyone forgot all of Alex’s flaws bc of that scene, yet everyone still remembers all of Coles flaws🤷🏼‍♀️
    As for who Morgan is, I want to say it’s a guy from tinder, bc it seemed a little sus to me how obsessed she was in the beginning with tinder. like girl you’re engaged but you really seem obsessed with talking abt tinder. & ik it’s bc of Tara’s thing which is why they were talking abt tinder, but haylee j pushed tinder so hard I feel. it just seemed sus.

      Also another scene with Alex that bothered me is when he heard Cole called her when Nathan had a seizure. like the “Cole CALLED YOU” like sir she literally lives with them, & he knew Nathan & her were close, someone had to try getting ahold of her to tell her.

      Also for the ages, im pretty sure it’s will (24-25), cole & danny (16 & juniors), Alex (15 & sophomore), Jackie (15 & sophomore), Nathan (14 & freshman), Jordan (11-12), Parker (9) & I think Benny is 5. Issac & lee cousins on the dads side, i think issac is 15 & sophomore, & lee is 14 & freshman. I could be wrong but I think that’s how it is.

      @@joleychristopher6640 10000% about Alex. I totally understand people not liking Cole (i didn't for the first half of the season) but I cannot understand people liking alex "instead" and it's also very clear the story is going toward him and Kiley being endgame so idk how so many people aren't seeing that either. Also I'm glad you mentioned the phone call because that was super important and Jackie brushed it off for Alex's sake but truly how did it never cross his mind to reach out to her but it crossed Cole's...and you expect me to believe Alex is the one for her?
      And wow maybe I need to rewatch because I totally forgot about the Tinder mention at the beginning of the show. That's very wild thank you for answering about Morgan and about the ages!!

      You acting like Alex is in his 20’s lol. He’s only 15 or 16. Cut him a little slack because he’s not the one who made out with his brothers gf twice. To me that’s more traumatic than a football injury. In the history of reality, I’ve never seen anyone down spiral from a football injury in my life and I know many who had career ending injuries. And she chose Alex for good reason. He wasn’t perfect but dang he wasn’t a villain. He wasn’t lashing out at his mom and dad or skipping school, getting drunk and being a complete jerk to Jackie.

    I just finished the book and I have to say that I like the show better and I really like the author is also doing scripts! Of course, the original book was written in her teens for Wattpad (and it shows) and I love how the show is going. Although, there's one thing that bugs me- some of the sweet/romantic things Alex does in the show are done by Cole in the book. I get they need to give Alex a bit of a chance in the show and gave Cole other cute scenes but still lol

      cole didn't take paige. he kissed her because she came on to him and he didn't know she was dating alex. it's not like they jumped into a relationship after that. alex was just hurt and decided to take his anger out on his brother instead of the girl who actually betrayed him because he was in love with her and because he already had a history of fighting and resenting cole. his insecurity is his own issue and it jeopardized his relationship with jackie. it's not right that jackie and cole kissed, but it's not "normalizing cheating" to simply show something that can and does happen all the time.

    i loveeee katherine and george. they're always such a united front and you can tell they love each other so much. i don't want them to ever have issues that cause a rift between them. i don't think i could take it!
    as for the teens, jackiecole are IT. i'm not always wholeheartedly opposed to a bad boy (i.e. jess mariano) so i wasn't against cole from the start, but because i often like to root for who i think is better for the protagonist, i was initially thinking it could be alex; but as the show went on i realized what you also realized... that alex sucks 😭 he may like jackie, but he's mostly fueled by his disdain for cole and wanting to "win," which is gross when the "prize" is a human being. on the other hand, cole (despite his weak moments that he deserved to get punched for) grew to truly value jackie as a person and seemed to care about putting her well-being above his. he had way more depth and growth and you can just tell from early on that he's who jackie truly wants, but is trying her hardest to resist. also, all of jackie and cole's interactions were so buzzy! it's insane that she had more spark just talking to cole than in all the pda with alex.
    also, even though "the cole effect" warranted a bit of an eye roll from me, i'm not surprised it exists in the context of the show. a guy who looks like THAT, with his immense charm, in a small town could only ever lead to girls being all over him lol. plus i relate to jackie in her attempt to seem above it all... but given the chance, they get to us eventually 😭

    I just want to be clear, Cole was more than a "jerk" to every other girl. He was literally misogynistic and he even shows it towards Jackie when he's having that one argument with Alex. People keep talking about Alex having one thing and that is fighting with his brother, but that is the only thing Cole has as well and Misogyny. You bring up how he is with his little sister, but he literally blew off his little sister to get drunk. I also feel like Alex might know that Kiley is in love with him, but doesn't want to risk losing her in his life by dating her as she is the only stable thing he really has. All of Alex's fears also come true in the end, because his GF cheats on him once again with his brother. So it's not like his fears and anger are unfounded and he has no reason to hate his brother. Alex has lasting trauma that he has to work out and so does Cole and neither of them should be dating anyone. Cole is a misogynistic asshole who literally treats every girl like trash to make himself feel better about blowing his chance at College, Football and getting out of that town and Alex has trust issues due to his older brother banging his GF(s)... making him come off as annoying and whiney. I feel like what Cole and Jackie did in the final episode justified everything Alex did and said all season no matter how annoying he was at some points, because once again his brother slept with his GF and once again his GF cheated on him with his brother.

      Cole doesn’t care about Jackie but yet fixed her tea pot because he knew how much it meant to her, he also came & got her when she got lost in the woods. he called her when Nathan was in the hospital. paid for her lunch on her first day & brought her dinner. helped her get haylee’s wedding flowers. helped her get more money with the auction table, because he wanted her to keep chasing her dream to go to Princeton. but he doesn’t care about her? also love at first sight is kinda weird when he knew basically nothing about her, more like he was attracted to her when he first saw her.

    Oooof this is a long comment...I had thoughts and u know I hated these boys lmao:
    You gave good reasons for why u like Cole...I didn't like Cole immediately so I couldn't even see the chemistry u saw. Also, I feel that the fact that the actor looks so much older than her that I couldn't get into it. I felt all of his actions were cringey. The bad boy trope really killed it for me. I never like the bad boys even when they try to redeem them lol
    Alex good guy trope was even more annoying because they made his good actions bad. It was the guy who thinks he's a nice guy but he's actually just a guy "acting nice"...just ewww I don't even want him to be with his bestie at this point. She deserves better. lol
    I want them to give her a new love interest but I know they won't cuz everyone fell for the Cole effect.

      I also hate the "bad boy falls for good girl" trope. It's very rarely done well imo, and it annoys me even more when his love for the girl is framed as the reason he gets redeemed. The other ship doesn't work for me either, since they all seemed to experience love at first sight, which gives me zero reason to think any of them would actually make a good couple. It made Alex look immature, since his interest in her was based off NOTHING.
