Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 27, 2016

Don’t look for Jonah to get a fair shake from Brad.; not for anything he’s actually done, but because Toni has “poisoned the well” as they say in psychology (ex. “don’t trust this guy that just came in, everything he says is a lie.” ). That is to say, she’s molded Bradley ‘s opinion of her brother when he wasn’t around to defend himself, and like a rumor, it’s been spread around by Chub Boy without any investigation; kind of like his libel of his own best friend, TJ when the food truck exploded.Yes, we’ve (sorta) seen an example of Jonah ‘s poor stagecraft, but hey, theater companies don’t hire good actors, do they? Couldn’t be he was having a bad day for some reason, had his timing thrown off by another actor or anything like that.Instead, what I saw was everyone kow-towing to Toni ‘s opinion and not daring to oppose her. Even Quill! was caught up in it, and you would think he’d be able to see things ‘theater’ from a more sympathetic angle.Team Evans hasn’t given us any kind of backstory to explain why Jonah chose a profession where he gets out of himself and ended up married at an early age, or why Toni got into a (possibly more) abusive relationship. Maybe Toni is jealous of her brother’s indpendance, or else afraid he’ll end up in another dead-end marriage.As to the current situation, everyone here acts as if technical problems with a cell phone, or a potential employer who requires them to be turned off, doesn’t occur.
