That would be highly unprofessional of him. He is there to play a character.. not a loved and the bestie character in the world.. but a character that the writers create and expand upon.
Not really, when he went through a similar process in Covert Affairs.
No, I didn’t because 1) It would be stupid for anyone to send money to a prison or a car and 2) like said MULTIPLE times before, it was very obvious that August took the money. Reading his facial cues and body language makes it obvious. It’s called reading between the lines. No, there was no dialogue that stated he didn’t take the money but the ACTING told us.
Sorry, I don’t see that. It’s not obvious that August took the money to me, since this show is always telling us to look past what we see in front or what is intended. Nothing is obvious on this show.
They did film it. Watch it again and pay attention to Bailey’s face when August sees the money and how he tries to turn away from temptation by saying “Money isn’t what she needs. Not for what’s ahead.” Because he knows if he takes that money, he’s going to pocket it. He was trying to resist temptation but ultimately failed.
Again, this show is famous for throwing obvious out the window! It made it look like at first that August was the one that ratted out the shovel to Regina, when in the end, it simply wasn’t true. Why should this instance be any difference????????
People have been annoyed with Neal and his decision and his “laying over” and just accepting of what August said. But, this isn’t a Neal thread.. it’s an August thread.
But even on regular discussion boards, I see people wanting to kill August, for theft. For leaving Emma when he was 7 years old. For tearing up the family, blah, blah, blah. But, he did not kill anyone! He did not physically hurt anyone. Not yet that we have seen. Why aren’t there posts crying for Regina’s or Rumpel’s heads on a stake. Instead, people love them. It’s sickening.
No, I don’t see your end. So, because Emma made a life for herself within 10 years means what? That she had 20 grand to her name when she was 18? I don’t think so.
Well, if you don’t have an open mind and only want to see the worst in people, then go ahead. He stole from her and was selfish and greedy to your eyes. I, just don’t know what happened, and I still think he’s not working alone. He seemed to have a genuine rapport with Emma and Henry, and that’s something I cannot get past. That is what is keeping my hope about him alive. I hope to see more of that in the very near future.
