Stale's relationship is sick. Starr was the perfect picture of an abuse victim.

She sure is because her face tells me she is afraid to tell Cole anything he doesn't want to hear. He is not her husband, he is not allowed to interrogate her that way after spending so much time on Hannah.

She sure looked frightened. I thought she looked like she was very afraid of what Cole might do.

Would not surprise me if Cole hauled off and slapped her during his next bout with substance abuse.

We'll be lucky is ALL he does is slap her. Look what he did to Todd with little provocation and look what he did to Miles. Cole is nothing but a druggie who cares most about himself and is willing to put his family in danger to keep himself out of jail. He's already violated his original parole so many times and it won't be long before he violates his most recent parole conditions. Starr is showing many of the classic signs of a battered wife and Cole hasn't even assaulted her recently but she's seen what he can do.

Unless TPTB are going with an abuse s/l I can't understand why Starr is flinching and looking afraid around Cole. She will blame herself for being hit.

honestly if he hurts starr,i blame Tea!

Yeah aublack - ITA - actually - if Cole hurts anyone, we'll have Tea to thank for getting him off and freeing him to hurt someone. I wonder how KA really feels about Stale. She has to see how the pairing has destroyed Starr and how unpopular they are together.

Starr does seem to flinch more and more around Cole, if TPTB wanted to, they have all the ground work for an abusive relationship to go from verbal to physical. He is extremely controlling, jmho.
