Cole "Spoiler"

I know this is one character that will receive mixed response, like all newly created characters. I personally loved him and he brought a lot of poignancy to the show and gave Aunt Josephine someone to look after.
As someone who went through most of the things Cole went through (The bullying,not feeling man enough,not connecting) when I was younger, the character really spoke to me.
Love him or hate him I believe a lot of young kids will find some sort of comfort watching this character story line. The actor who played him did a great job, it was a very sensitive performance
With that said I understand why purists would not like his addition.
