The way they did their romance as a slow burn and the way it gradually built was excellent to watch. I felt that Roy's feelings of doubt and grief over Hayley were made part of the storyline, thus, I think it held its respect towards the fans who were strong fans of Roy and Hayley.

I really wanted to like this character but she's very self absorbed. <br />I do think it was made more obvious by being with Roy, who is stubborn but not good at confrontation. <br />With a man who establishes boundaries more clearly and asks for what he wants, Cathy would be more appealing because she wouldn't seem to be riding roughshod over him.Marichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295287855690799143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-71010132216659394002017-01-06T15:51:41.703+00:002017-01-06T15:51:41.703+00:00Age-wise, they are a great match.
