What if her lack of story is her story? The whole thing with Oscar, I think, was to highlight this. She doesn't know herself, who she is, what she likes, what she can do, what she wants to do, etc. College is about finding yourself and Josy's come in as something of a blank slate, a bit of a high school girl trope of someone who just went through the motions during that time, was probably a bit popular and hung out with an "in crowd", but never really had much individuality and just followed the crowd. Oscar was harsh but made her realise this about herself and so now she's going to try and find out who she is.

Also, there's some clear psychological issues going on, probably related to latent separation anxiety issues to do with her parents divorcing and would explain her need for love, affection, and to be in a relationship. So there's another angle to her story as well.
This all good stuff, but it's potential drama. Maya's story has been going on forever without real payoff. There is no harvest. With Josy there are planted seeds that haven't even sprouted.
She can't stand Tommy and we already have several family dramas. Let's create something more interesting, but I don't know where to start.. we already on 2/3 milestone, no time for a big arc for Josy.
There's several episodes. Jill's Tybalt drama only took three episodes. And technically Josy's family drama already exists, it just hasn't been in the spotlight. And family drama is like the whole point of BADIK. The characters' drama manifests through the relationships they have with other people and family members are always significant one way or another. The fact that Josy hates Tommy just makes her having to deal with it more dramatic.

This may have been mentioned/discussed already, but with how fast this thread moves I would most likely have missed it.

Does anyone else wish some of the "other" girls had a proper or full romance line?

I know it's possible to get more content with girls like Quinn and Rio, bit for me personally I really wish there was a full path with Rio other than just the continued hookups.

I know it's not possible considering how far along the story is, but it would be nice to have a bit more with her.

I don't like or eat fish and seafood. It's gone!
What you mean you don't eat fish? Then why did you install the fish tank in the DIK house and install a special fish management app on your phone? You only keep fish to save money at the fish counter.

I don't believe that. That means Zoey also doesn't have time, beacuse lets be real, he can't drag a definitive answer to her relationship past Ep11. Would he waste the Interlude on a character with less than a season of shelf life?

Everyone that doesn't irrationally hate Josy(I won't name names:cautious:), hopes she gets her break when the throuple is no more. She can't just drift all the way to the end with no character development, especially with big events happening all over her routes.

My guess is to make sure his foreshadowing is done properly
I mean there is a lot of foreshadowing like spring break, valentines, sage possibly staying for her masters if in a relationship. The prostitution ring with Stephen and the scholarship. Mona possibly dead.

Chad being nice to the MC (He pretty much vouched to dawe). Jacob settling down with Zoey or Jacob being the father of the arieth (idk how to spell her name) baby. To name a few.

Josy' story is that she saved MC from a broken heart and is in love with him to this day. What more do you people want? To see flashbacks of them first meeting and MC creeping on her when she bends to pick something up? :cautious:
