Quinn seemed to really love Angel. Were you convinced? Why do you think her being half Chinese didn’t bother him like it did the rest of her family?


Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 1392 comments I think that Quinn thought he loved Angel, but he knew less than nothing about marital loving relationship (to be delicate about it).

Angel must have been particularly attractive, perhaps a bit mysterious, to Quinn. He wasn't thinking about her contribution to the family's welfare yet.

Of all the children born in that household, Quinn seemed to be the one that had hopes and dreams. I think he was besotted with Angel and loved her as best as he knew how to. I don’t think the relationship would have lasted because Angel was so unhappy. There was no way that marriage could sustain itself in that place. But, I believe he really did care deeply for Angel or he wouldn’t have married her. He didn’t have to.


Robin (robinmy) | 1214 comments I agree with both of you. Quinn loved Angel, but Angel was getting a taste of reality and not liking it a bit. That marriage wouldn't have lasted for long.


Lauren (laurenjberman) | 2240 comments Both Quinn and Angel were very young and ruled by their hormones.

That said, it is clear that Quinn cared deeply for her otherwise he wouldn't have married her at all.

I agree with Robin that the marriage wouldn't have lasted if Angel had lived. Perhaps Keely has reason to be afraid after all.
