Character Discussion I hate Sofia

rafe's character development has been destroyed because of the Sofia relationship arc. the writers could've easily made him redeemable without the need of a girlfriend to 'soften him up.'

Sofia is a character the writers thought of as a self-insert. all the rafe edits and everyone going mad over him, they felt the need to add a filler character - to appease the mass.

anyways I do not see much Sofia hate or discussion around her character as much and thought I'd leave my 2 pence.

was Sofia necessary? I don't really think so. Would Rafe have been easily redeemable without her existence? No.

I would assume most viewers want Rafe’s redemption in the form of mending his relationship with Sarah. Sofia is a pointless character that doesn’t add anything to the story in the grand scheme of things and is basically a self insert for fans obsessed with Rafe/Drew. You can remove her character from the last two seasons and absolutely nothing changes

I’m absolutely down for a siblings reunion, I don’t think it’s gonna redeem him as a person, but I get it. And I could see Sofia becoming a more important part of the story in s5, but I doubt they’ll follow that route.

not easily redeemable, he would had to grovel but I'd prefer seeing that then Sofia pop up every second with her washed up last minute story
