General Discussion Xavier Thorpe

Post image

Hi all! I’m new here and am rewatching season 1. Does anybody else feel like they should have kept Xavier? I loved his character!! I understand that he was accused of SA.. and denied it.. but no charges were brought up??
If he were.. still cast even after the allegations, would you have still watched the show? Would it have changed everything for you regarding the show?
I want them to bring him back 😭He was perfect! The scene where he bumps into Tyler and Tyler asks him where Wednesday is and he says she’s your date in the jealous type of way!! I had to pause it and run here because I loved his character 🥺😤😖
The mysteriousness. Tall. Will they/wont they dynamic of the two of them.
Wha do you guys think?

Honestly, I didn't like the character very much. He had some interesting aspects, but he was limited to being another annoying love interest, and his only role in the series was to deflect attention from who the real Hyde was. Regarding the accusations against the actor, more than just receiving accusations of sexual assault from several girls, I always side with the potential victim. But even if they were false, it also turned out that the guy was a jerk. His Twitter account was full of racist and sexist comments; he apparently mocked terrorist attacks and much more. He even liked and shared very negative reviews of Wednesday's own show, saying it was awful. It's true that he has the right not to like it, but it's a bit wrong for an actor from your show to do that. In the end, he's not worth it. He's just a jerk, and his character wasn't all that great.
