Hello,

I loved the cast in the show, they were all great! But, some ep I though left too many open story lines. Like when Magna found Jin in the alley, you never really found out what happeded to her there. Also, they intoduced Jin 1/2 sister but never really didn't do anything w/that...Mags sister in prison....Jin brother who is gay...Angela leaving was explained in one sentence in the second season, meanwhile they left her storyline unfinished, such as the breast cancer, her marriage,a baby.

Does anyone else feel they left too many stories open and didn't close them well or at all?

I thought they left some stuff open and dropped certain plotlines, but for the most part I thought they were pretty decent at remembering stuff.

They resolved things a little to quickly (or not at all) at the end of Season 4, but I kind of thought that was because they either knew or were kind of expecting that they wouldn't be coming back so they shoved a whole bunch of easy resolutions into one episode.

I agree on the Jinny's half sister thing. It was sort of a major thing at first and Jinny even goes to her wedding early Season 4, but by the end she was gone. She wasn't at Jinny's wedding and there wasn't even a mention of her.

Nate's plotline was really never resolved Season 4.

It bothered me that they sort of dropped Kate's stroke and recovery storyline at the end of Season 3. She decided to come back to work and then it was never mentioned in Season 4.

Or even simple things like what happened to Dusty, Jinny's AA sponsor and friend?

OH, I CAN TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO DUSTY. HE ENDED UP CHANGING HIS NAME TO FRANK AND WORKING AS A DESK CLERK IN AN ER (IF YOU DON'T KNOW, I'M REFERRING TO THE TV SHOW ER)

Cute.

Dusty also appeared in FOL briefly. In the last season in the episode when Pippa comes, after her and Andy run off and play hooky they got brought home by a cop, who is none other than Dusty.

Beverly Ann offers him hot cocoa.

YES, YOU ARE RIGHT, RAYA. I REMEMBER SEEING HIM AND THINKING OF ANOTHER NANCY MCKEON CONNECTION.

Actually, this is what happened to Dusty. You see, Dusty got into that car accident after having a few drinks, ended up in a wheelchair, and finally(sometime after season 4) decided to exchange the wheelchair for a set of mechanical spider-legs.(see pic below.) Obviously, Dusty also got too fat and grew an annoyingly long beard, too.

Dusty as of 2006 timeframe.(see pic below.)
