Who do think Suffered the Most Trauma?


I think Audra did, because she was constantly taken as a hostage and dealt with the fright, or witness killing that left her speechless, and the time she hit her head and left her tempority blind.

Jarrod, mostly when his wife was killed and he went into a killing mode to get back at her killer.

Heath had been through a lot, so he was pretty thick skinned to become traumatized.

Who do you think?

If you mean mental, I'd give it to Audra for that spell she was so traumatized she could not speak, and/or Jarrod for gong haywire after his wife's death.

If you mean physical, the writers really let Heath have it in terms of quantity. Victoria got it a lot, too, but man, could she fight back.

If you mean "unrequited love" trauma, Nick wins. He was always falling in love, but it was the wrong woman, or she was married, or she was using him.......

Everybody got their share and then some.

Yes you hit it pretty good. They all suffered in some way

Victiria because she had to spend endless hours in makeup and wardrobe and making sure the lighting was perfect.
