7. J.J Couldn’t Catch A Break

As if Walker didn’t already know how some members of the cast felt about him, Rolle made it clear when she said: “He’s eighteen and he doesn’t work. He can’t read or write. He doesn’t think. The show didn’t start out to be that…Little by little—with the help of the artist, I suppose, because they couldn’t do that to me—they have made J.J. more stupid and enlarged the role. Negative images have been slipped in on us through the character of the oldest child.” Yikes! Talk about the claws coming out.
