You know, I never really thought about it, but I totally agree wiith that. Dean was really written around what role he played in Rory's life. In the beginning it was to be her first boyfriend and a new thing in Rory and Lorelai's life. Then it was Rory being torn between him and Jess, and for me (though I'm biased cuz I totally shipped Rory/Jess) he always seemed more of an obstacle in the way of Rory and Jess than anything else. Even him marrying Lindsey seemed to revolve more around Rory than it did him. He never really did get a storyline of his own like the other characters did.
Huh, now I wonder why I never really picked up on that before. Thank you for pointing that out to me. :D
I totally agree. I think this comes down to a badly written part and by the end of his run an unlikable character, nothing to do with the acting. Even if he was played by a different actor, I still think I'd dislike him just the same.
