Daniel could easily be plopped into an adult role and I would believe it, but I also buy him being a teenage boy, despite his mature physique including his face. I hate to say get rid of more female characters seeing as we are short on them right now, but I sort of wish she didn't come back from France. The character hasn't really added anything to the show since season 1, except for the fact that soooooo many people believe in the OTP of Scott/Allison and that they're dated to be together forever. I'm like, get over it people, it was his first girlfriend.

Well, every producer hopes their show will last, but it is always unpredictable. Jeff certainly did make a mistake casting someone Crystal's age as Allison, especially given the fact that Tyler Posey and Dylan were so much younger (and thus had more longevity) as teenage characters.

I won't disagree that Scott/Allison are played out. Really, the whole Hunter storyline played out, and you are right that she and Chris should have just moved to France and that would have been the end of it. There is room on the show for female characters and love interests besides Allison.

Plus, to your point, despite what a lot of teen shows try to convince the audience, most people do not, in fact, meet the love of their life in high school (unless they live in a really, really, isolated small town). Scott was like a sophmore when he started dated Allison. At that age most relationships don't last out the school year, much less turn into a lifelong thing! I wish Melissa had added to her speech that she and Scott's father had gotten together young (based on the fact that she is not very old for someone that has a son in his late-teens) and obviously their relationship did not last. It's not a race. This isn't the 50's.
