[QUOTE="Marika, post: 195847, member: 721"] That is not true... only 5 main characters battled addictions: Dylan (alcoholism & later drug abuse), Kelly (drug abuse), Brandon (gambling), David (drug abuse), and Donna (pain killer addiction). All of these stories (with the exception of Donna's because it happened in the later seasons) had a long build-up and made sense. Dylan turned to alcohol because he was neglected by his parents, he turned to drugs because he had lost all of his money (and Kelly); Kelly turned to drugs because she was disappointed by her father over and over again; Brandon's addiction gradually built up over the course of half a season; and David turned to drugs because he couldn't handle studying during daytime and working during nighttime. I think the show handled all of these stories pretty well. ETA: I forgot Noah's alcoholism – but who cares about Noah, anyway. From season 2 on, Donna was portrayed as a Catholic and she was heavily influenced by her strict mother Felice (who was a hypocrite, but that's another story). [/QUOTE]
