If they'd had Cole show any remorse or guilt, it would be one thing but his arrogance and lack of conscience just shows him to be little more than a psycho. This storyline is doing a lot to put John and Nora in a bad light once again, too! They're so biased and unprofessional! I loved that judge calling them on their crap - just wish there were more people who saw them all for what they really are - Cole, john, Nora.
Starr should get a retraining order against Cole before her turns on her or on Hope. Given his lack of control and serious anger management issues, Starr needs to put Hope first and act on Hope's behalf and protect her from Cole.
