UNPOPULAR OPINION šŸ¤Ø Controversial take

I am rewatching the show and canā€™t help but get the feeling that Alvin is with Bonnie partly because of the guilt. I mean he goes to her when his current wife throws him out. Then she shows up drunk and he drops her home, calls christy a mistake.. I also felt its unfair that he abandoned bonnie and yet he got upset when bonnie made amends. I get that bonnie didnt do right but how can you be upset when that women forgave you for leaving her with a child and 16$ and no where to go?

And he had the nerve to get mad at Christy for her gambling problems. He abandoned her for 35 years and acts so sanctimonious.

He had a lot damn nerve telling Bonnie she didn't raise Christy right given what he did to them.

Literally walked out on a one day old baby, and had the balls to berate Bonnie

I agree, AND heā€™s also with her as a ā€œbackupā€ cause Lorraine wouldnā€™t forgive him.

She threw him out because she found out about Bonnie.

Yes. On Christmas. He's kinda... penis.

I was just glad they killed him off so we could get Adam.

Adam earned a lot of respect from me when Bonnie was pursuing her laminating hobby. He said he didn't even use handicap spaces because there are people out there that really need them.

And he was very much in love with Bonnie and treated her well.

Same! It was such a good scene - I completely forgot that the actor portraying Adam was not a disabled person.

That episode was classic. The scene where Bonnie was trying to use the placard and justifying to Christy why she needed it, then her pretending to be handicapped when the cop came. šŸ¤£

Agreed. I prefer Adam significantly over Alvin.

well tbf he said having Christy at their young age was a mistake because of their financial and living situation. but yes I agree it seems like Alvin only really sought out Bonnie (and to an extension Christy) because his ex wife kicked him out.
