When Tad was spitting venom at Zach and making him feel guiltier than guilty about Aidan, I wish Zach would have looked Tad straight in the eye and said, "shut the f up you sanctimonious hypocrite!"
Zach did, in semi-good faith, sent Aidan to find and rescue Jake. Unlike Tad who purposely killed a man and knowingly let Zach take the fall who was seconds away from spending the rest of his life in jail, Zach had no control over what was going on over in Africa. Plus, Aidan knew exactly what he was getting into and decided to go anyway. How dare Tad put that burden on Zach.
Is there a bigger jerk in all of Pine Valley than Tad? I wanted to throw my shoe at Tad's newly tightened and shiny, smooth face.

Message: No matter who did the writing, I don't see how you can pick and choose what to believe. The average viewer, like me, doesn't know or care who wrote what and why. Tad's story is what we've seen and the character is different now. He's been turned into a cocky, self-righteous buttinsky. He looks down his nose giving advice that he doesn't apply to himself. He acts superior, as if people are supposed to scramble to get his approval. His glib remarks aren't funny and his harrassment of Adam makes him look like an insecure bully. Once in a while he apologizes to whomever he wronged but he doesn't change. Nope, to me there's no bigger jerk in PV.

Message: I feel as some do that Tad isn't qualified to be anyone's father though I do think he should know that Kathy is Kate. I just don't want her taken away from Julia and given to him. Also, they brought back Dixie from the grave to make sure Tad gets his daughter. They forget that he's a murderer.

Message: I simply do not get it! Anyone remember "Tad the Cad", love em' and leave em', rich woman's boy-toy, pregnant lover abandoner,I could go on.. What really made me sick is that they changed the character the first time to Mr Goody Two Shoes, now that was rediculous!!

Message: Tad has become ugly to me, I don't even like to look at his face. I said in an earlier post, why are the writers doing this to Tad, they want us to all hate him. I would rather see Adam get Kate than Tad. Tad is a horrible Father. Look at his influence on JR and Jamie, they both turned into thugs just like him. Especially Jamie. Why are they doing this to him? I wish I could ask them upfront.

I have one, sweeping answer for all these anti-Tad threads:
I typically don't hold much against characters who were nearly destroyed by former head writer Megan McTavish. I especially don't hold them accountable for the ''qualities'' McTavish bestowed upon them. Those events are from another universe, as far as I'm concerned. And those things are usually so off-kilter, I'll twist, bend, and/or erase them from my mind and move forward.
If there are viewers who can resolve to digest Erica's abortion being undone, I can get over Tad acting like a totally different person for a couple of years.

Message: I love Tad! Although I didn't watch the scene with Zach because I really wasn't that interested. I fast forward most of the show. But Tad's scene with Kate today was adorable! That was worth the price of admission for me for sure.
