HELFORD | It really felt like we were doing a disservice to the character of Ben, as well, to not have bond over this thing that he has done.

With all of the complications of being a Conner, Ben stepped up. You’ve got to be there, and you’ve got to show up, and what we’re saying is that David didn’t come through for and Ben did. And Dave, you can address the relationship with Ben…ĬAPLAN | There are a couple of things in play here: One of the things we’re implying is that zebras don’t change their stripes it’s one thing to talk a big game, and it’s another thing to show up, which is what parenting is about.

TVLINE | When we last saw David, he was walking out of therapy after breaking things off with Darlene.
