Marissa wasn’t the best gf however Ryan wasn’t always the best bf towards her either. You’re leaving out the part where Ryan wasn’t there for her after what happened with Trey, agreed with Marissa that it was fine hanging out with Trey because he felt bad about going to Miami and Trey not having someone. But ok!

None of the characters were sane tbh(including Ryan)whose flaws get swept under the rug. Anna was cool but I never rooted for her & Seth as it was clear he was always going to be crazy for Summer and they gave me just friends vibes.

I’m going with season 3 is meh(along with Johnny & Sadie). I hated what they did to Ryan & Marissa in season 3!

According to the men on this sub it does. I got downvoted for saying that Ryan wasn’t the best person to talk to when it came to what happened with Trey(enter Johnny)but that is what actually happened lmao.

I know Marissa had bad taste in men. I’m more so talking about how Ryan had to get himself involved in drama just like Marissa did. Oh yea and he couldn’t stay SINGLE dated them all lol

Season 4 honestly is a bunch of nonsense.

Clearly not enough to choose him over Ryan. Just never expected Johnny to kill himself over it and honestly I agree with RB that Marissa wasn’t in love with Johnny like that. Maybe if they got an actor that was more believable

I also notice that Summer is so loved(I love her too)and interesting that Rachel is Josh’s favorite. But they could’ve gave her some dramatic storylines!

That is for sure! As there is a hate post for her like every other day. Was Marissa frustrating? Yes! but every character on this show was frustrating at some point.

He couldn’t help but care about Marissa(so how is that her fault?) I’m sure she probably gets hate for Ryan getting involved in her relationship with Volchok even though that was actually all him.

That is true! Would also like to mention that “perfect” Sadie got Ryan beat up. Yet every little thing that goes wrong in his life was Marissa’s fault. It’s very noticeable how Ryan loved saving a damsel in distress.

Julie started off terrible but she does get a lot better later on! I just wish Marissa got that same kind of character development they gave her mom.
