Talk:Chapter Thirty-One: A Night to Remember/@comment-24784093-20180406121459

Honsetly, I think Cheryl is the most intresting character with the worst writing this season. Season 1 we learen how complex and intresting she can be. She showed her feelings and emotions. She wasnt all the time the mean girl and multiple times she knew how and when to put asaide her bitchenss. and when they need it, Cheryl and the other five main character knew how to get along. and it was pretty clear her changes in her moods are reuslt of messy life. but still she was strong or  at leasrt she tried to stay strong and she did not let anywone to take her power from her. until it reavel her father killed her brother and them commited suicide (or murdered by Claudius or Pelenope). It was her final breakdown and she tried to kill herself. she was saved by archie and the gang. When she burned her house it was the moment when she took back her power. Burning the house with her worst memories to open a chance for new life for her and her mother.

But then we have the weird writing of season 2. and the writing of her character just became so shallow. and i'll explain why:

After she saved by Archie and took back her power, Cheryl once again began to act like mean girl. but compere to season 1, in season 2 it was so shallow. in season 1 at least she tried to do truce with some characters but now she is just the typical bitch. Zero attempt to redeem herself. and once again her power taken away from her. and slowly slowly she became a pounching bag. and it really pain to watch it. the second promblem with "season 2 Cheryl" is that now (especily in 2B) she has only two modes:

1. Bitch mode

2. Damsle in distress mode

and thats it. When she is not in distress, she is a bitch for almost everyoby ealse. and when we see her softer side, its only when she is in distress. its not makeing her character intresting. just makes shallow and hypocrite. the ending scene from last episode is pure example for this. she was damsel in distress for three episodes in a row and she was soft to people. but when she felt she is not in danger anymore, she return to her bitchy presona (burn the school). and no turning her to bisexual is not makes her characer more intresting. her sexuality should not define her (and i feel some fans began to define her just because of that) its just one more fact about her.

yes Cheryl is maybe the most intresting character in the show (along with Alice) but its worth nothing if they don't do anything importent with her characrer.
