finding out his daughter was kidnapped (by Nicole) and being shot in the head would be considered payback.
But then, who on this show has ever gotten the payback they actually deserved? We tend to forget about what the characters we like have done and their lack of consequences.
character a very short-lived and very mild type of payback with a very quick recovery. With regard to Nicole kidnapping his daughter and the shooting in the head, he bounced back in a very short period of time and came up dishing out much more pain and suffering to the other person(s) than he suffered. Maybe I’m not expressing my feelings very well in words. I guess this is also how they have always treated Stephano too. Both of them just never seem to be written experiencing as much hurt as they inflict on other characters. I’m wondering how they’ll write EJ and Stephano getting away with this kidnapping and "cloning" of Rafe when Rafe is experiencing it firsthand. I’m just so sure that they will walk away AGAIN with some ridiculous explanation that willl make Rafe look like a doofus and they will be believed and Rafe will be dismissed.
It’s just that nobody really gets retribution for their evil deeds on this show with a few exceptions. They put Kristen’s brother (what WAS his name?) in jail for a long time but that was because he left the show. If they put them in jail forever, we wouldn’t see them again.
If you look at many of the characters and some of the awful things they’ve done (Sami is an excellent example when she was acting as Stan), they are still walking around scott free. Look at Victor who has had people killed and hasn’t even gone to trial or arrested. So, I don’t think it’s a case of not giving EJ his just desserts, it’s that they can’t really do anything to him and still have him remain on the show.
