@beesniamhss I don't even get where people get this "Shawn didn't want to do it" from because it just sounded like they changed it anyway, not because Shawn told them to. They put Shawn and Abbot on a pedestal so much they completely forget how tv shows and fictional characters work
They way he says "it didn't end up making it" and people acting like it was him personally demanding the change like that's not what he said but ok. Also "that's not him" like it would've been if they wrote him that way it's a fictional character not your close personal friend
“There was some stuff that Abbot had that I wasn’t too thrilled with in the script…different opinions & things. It didn’t end up going in that direction. Abbot was in the military; he works with police. So he definitely, uh. He would have a feeling. About what’s going on there.”
