Kris a homewrecker


I remember watching this show when it premiered and fell in love with this show. Years after it was cancelled, I have rewatched the show and have come to the conclusion that Kris is a homewrecker. I mean, I remember she broke up relationships when I was watching it but since recently I watched all 4 seasons, I see it so clearly that in every season she breaks up a relationship.

So in S1, Matt is with Dani. Kris has feelings for Matt so he breaks up with Dani to be with Kris but then Kris chooses Junior.

S2, Kris decides she doesn't want to betray Raintree and breaks up with Junior. Then Junior moves on from Kris and has a new girlfriend Rebecca. But then Kris hooks up with Junior knowing he's in a relationship.

S3, Matt is with Gillian. They even move in with each other but Kris breaks up their relationship as well by hooking up with Matt. Kris could have been with Junior because he didn't have a girlfriend at the time. But Kris ends up choosing Matt, breaking up another relationship.

Then in S4, after abandoning Matt and Junior, Kris returns back to Raintree. Matt has been waiting for Kris but Junior again moves on with Laura. Kris then tries (successfully) breaking Junior and Laura's wedding because she wants Junior. So Junior leaves Laura for Kris, even though Matt is the one waiting for her and not in a relationship.

It seems like Kris is always choosing the guy that is with another girl. She couldn't seem to go a full season without breaking up a relationship. I guess it was to cause drama in the show but it really seems unrealistic she keeps going back and forth between Matt and Junior. It is so ridiculous I didn't catch on to this while I was watching the first time. Personally I loved S1-S3, but S4 really went in backwards for me. I thought after S3 Kris would finally end up with Matt and it would go full circle because in the beginning Kris and Matt liked each other. This really would've justified Kris breaking up Matt and Gillian because in S1 and S2 she tried having a relationship with Junior but it didn't work. But in S4 she goes back to her old ways and breaks up Junior and Laura.

I guess I was always rooting for Matt and Kris to end up together since the Pilot, but I always did love Junior with Kris. They actually helped each other be better. But it seemed like she didn't care about the other girls; Dani, Rebecca, Gillian, and Laura. I guess what my problem with this issue is it seemed like since she broke up all those relationships, I wish the writers didn't make it look like she was being selfish.

What are your thoughts?

Matt wasn't with Dani in season one, they were broken up already.

I completely agree with everything you just said. I always wanted Kris with Matt, they just fit so good together and couldn't stand Krunior. I cant watch Season 4 again. It leaves a very foul taste in my mouth. S4 was the worst season.

I don't think that Junior was actually with Rebecca when he hooked up with Kris in Season 2, they were mostly flirting at that point. Kris didn't seem too aware of Rebecca until she ran into the friends at the diner, some episodes later. Junior broke up with Rebecca because he realized that he got in over his head trying to get over Kris. I don't fault Kris for that fiasco, Junior made a lot of bad decisions.

However, Kris was really ruthless when she went after Matt in Season 3 and Junior in Season 4. She should've shown some remorse for that, but didn't.
