Cole is so used to blaming other people for his actions that he can't take responsibility and own his crimes or his actions. It was disgusting listening to him stammering around and making excuses for why he almost slept with Hannah. He blamed Hannah and then Starr, only she wouldn't let him get away with it and called him on it and the SOB had to retract. Not that I expect the cretin to accept responsibly for ANYTHING he does, given the way John, Nora and Marty molly coddle the brat and blame everyone else for the things he does.

They really need to break Stale up for good. He's ruining Starr and dragging her down. He's a liar and a creep. He deserves Hannah. Those two are a perfect match, though Hannah has far more of a heart than Cole and at least she's doing her best to keep him out of danger, which is more than can be said for Cole trying to keep Starr out of danger.

Had to vent after seeing Cole today. He was just disgusting.

Thanks for the warning. Now I'm prepared to handle with some caution ahead of time before my blood pressure really goes up, lol!
Starr BETTER stand up for herself and not accept all his stupid excuses.

It gets worse Check out my reply to your TnT question.

As for Cole. More and more signs of his abusive side. One of these days he's going to loose it and assault Starr again. That boy needs to be in jail and everyone working to keep him out is going to bare some responsibility for the harm that will come to Cole's next victim. Cole is still the one making choices and will bear the primary responsibility, but everyone who's enabled him to continue his violence will have played a part.

I am so sick of him I don't know what to do. When she was saying I hate you, I was hoping she woudl pack her crap and go home to Dorian's. It is time Starr got away from Cole because he is never going to get the help he needs because they keep letting him off the hook. And his mother the shrink can't even notice that kid needs help. He has paralized one person and almost killed another man and she still won't get him any help. That is why I wanted him found guilty so the court could order him to get therapy.

He's almost killed two people. He was trying to kill what's his name - the FBI guy they brought in to investigate the corruption in LPD. He tried killing him and got Miles instead. He got away with paralysing a kid with with frequent bail and parole violations. Marty's too blinded to see the help her son needs and the same goes for John and Nora. All three do nothing but make excuses, cover for him and get him off.

Starr needs to open up her eyes and realize what a cretin Cole is and that he's not going to change. He's manipulative and conniving and she stays with him no matter what he does. TPTB have turned her into such a pathetic, brainless creature to keep her with him. It's just sad - really sad. Cole needs help. he needs serious therapy and he needs to accept possibility for his crimes.

Cole is the village idiot. Every time I see him, he manages to look sillier than the last time. What are they doing??? Cut him lose. He was never a welcome addition to the show and now it's just painful.

i won't be watching wed's episode when eli,nora,starr,marty and john have their sick grins and celebrations going on!

TIIC want us to believe he is Heathcliff from "Wuthering Heights" but he is just another Kiefer (GH) except Keifer at least had an abusive father to help explain, not excuse his actions. Cole has always been pampered, excused, coddled by his mom, John and Starr. Cole is just a rotten person.

Cole's is NOTHING like Heathcliffe and if TPTB want us to belief that, they're stupider than I thought and are really insulting Wuthering Heights. Cole is a spoilt rotten brat who's enabled by everyone around him and now Téa's joined the crowd of enablers who want Cole to get away with his crime. John, Cole, Nora and Marty are the worst kind of scum. Cole is a coward who cares only about himself and doesn't care about the danger he puts those around him in. I have to wonder if TPTB are writing Cole out. He's become such a worthless piece of filth beyond any redemption.

I wonder if anyone will change their minds if he beats Starr to a pulp? What would Todd do then? I think he would tear him to pieces while everyone else, including Starr would still defend him.

Yeah - i've been wondering about that, too! John, Marty, Nora and Téa will bear responsiblity for anything that happens to Starr or Hope because it was thanks to them that Cole got off. I don't really blame Todd - Téa basically emotionally blackmailed him into speaking out on Cole's behalf - but the others? There's no excuse for them. Todd will never forgive himself if Cole lays a hand on Starr and he'll take all of them blame on, rather than putting it where it belongs - on those who wanted Cole to get away with his crime. I'm sure he could beat her to a bloody pulp and go after Hope and Starr would still defend him. It's clear that no one is going to get Cole the help he needs, so it's only a matter of time before his next murder attempt. If Starr so much as looks as James again, there's a good chance he'll following through on his threat to do to James what he did to Todd. It's just a matter of time before Cole looses his temper. He's already really bordering on abusive the way he talks to Starr and how controlling he is - the tone of his voice. It's not going to take much to push him over the edge.
