I have to say after seeing mid- '92 clips, that it was probably one of the best years I've seen. I loved seeing all the sexy Bay City men, (the ladies sure had their pick of the lot!) I was intrigued at the level of "chemistry" with certain actors/characters that were teamed up as friends/rivals. I enjoyed seeing the Jake/Sam, Dean/Matt friendships and oddly enough, Kevin/Jamie partnership (they both conspired to prevent Jake from seeing Paulina, as if it was any of their damn business! ). I couldn't count Ryan and Grant as being friends since Grant was trying to steal his girl. I also liked the Jake and Dennis scenes and thought they were friends at some level. Then, of course, the start of the Jake/Grant rivalry was great as well.
The Jake/Kevin "Abel/Cain" dynamic started to wear out because Kevin's actions didn't make any sense for me. He hates/envies Jake because his father chose to raise alone Jake without him, when Jake himself was a child at the time and couldn't have done anything. WTF?! After seeing these scenes, the fact that Jake accepts nephew Sean (Kevin's son) as part of his family is testament that he REALLY did change for the better and makes him all the more incredible to me.

I wasn't watching AW regularly during this time (schedule from hell, oddly similar to now ), but it's interesting to see this s/l topic....it was weird, my older sister felt the same way about me. She apparently resented that I was raised by our mother but she wasn't (both my sisters were from Mom's previous marriage); I didn't know she felt that way till the last years of her life, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. And unfortunately, with there being so many years in between, there wasn't much I could do in 1 conversation to make her try to feel differently. She's in a better place now--hopefully now that Mom's with her, she'll finally understand and be at peace with it.
