Yeah, they built a whole angle where the only payoff was Steph ending up with Angle.....and then failed to deliver on the months and months of build up. Stuff like that will, and did, piss off the audience. Swerves, aborted angles, non-deliveries, it's representative of the horrible "crash TV" syndrome where the accepted attitude was that you could just jump from one thing to the next, every inaccuracy can be corrected with re-writes, and that only the present moment matters. It's the most self-destructive form of booking.
