Well, there are different types of antiheroes. While he may not fall under the "Type III: Pragmatic Hero" (or "Cmean hero" type), he does qualify as the "Type V: Nominal Hero" (essentially a villain who teams up with the heroes to fight the bigger villain, but otherwise doesn't really possess any heroic qualities). Also, like a lot of people say for other characters, having the potential to do something and actually doing it is a bit different. Though I'm not gonna go as far as to say Duncan redemption is impossible, they did it with Heather who was even eviller than him.

Thing is, just ignoring the actual character opinions for the moment, don't you think its a bit biased to say everything wrong witg Duncan is his character's fault, while Courtney can be completely excused by bad writing? Its the same problem in reverse for Courtney haters who pin everything on her character's fault and ignore anything positive about her. I'm neither a Courtney fan nor a hater, and being neutral towards her gives me the unique perspective of being unbiased in analyzing her. While I can blame all of TDWT on Duncan, I don't think its fair to say TDI was entirely his fault. Duncan only brought out what was already present in traces inside Courtney, I doubt it wouldve worked with Bridgette. Personally I think the writers were always trying to head in that direction towards Courtney, so if it wasn't Duncan who did it, they wouod find someone else. Of course the Courtney antagonist thing really wasn't needed, and she shouldve just become her early TDWT personality. Just my take on it.

You know, I just rewatched Up the Creek yesterday, I didnt remember Cody being that annoying. He was so clingy and irritating. I'll never understand how he was an ensemble darkhorse. Anyway, while with Cody that was because she was annoyed so went for drastic responses, but I noticed TDI Gwen almost never acted friendly on meeting someone the first time. It took at least the second occasion for her to be able to engage in conversation.

But there were the two issues that really made Trent get on her nerves (buried alive, and Heather) the relationship hasn't been the same ever since, and #9 was just the final straw. I don't know, maybe Duncan was like a rebound, that would sort of explain how sudden it was.

Yeah can't add anything else to Zoey, she was dumb, she godplayed,she sucked.
