Christy Jenkins
[edit]... that Brad Kern developed the character "Christy Jenkins" as a way to discuss the nature versus nurture debate.
- ALT1: ... that Brad Kern cited the nature versus nurture debate as one of the issues related to Christy Jenkins?
- ALT2:
... that the characters Christy Jenkins and Billie Jenkins were described as "the gruesome twosome" and one of the eight things that derailed Charmed? - ALT3:
...Brad Kern regretted creating the characters Christy Jenkins and Billie Jenkins to convince the WB to renew Charmed, believing they "fundamentally changed the show from what it started out to be"?

Date, size, refs, neutrality, copyvio spotcheck are good, but there is a problem with the hook. I looked at the ref for the nature vs nurture debate ([]) and sadly I do not think it is sufficient to support the hook's claim. All it says is (in the interview with the shows' executive director) is, in the context of the character: "Q:Ah, the age-old nature vs. nurture debate. A: You got it! [It's a question] we've played with and toyed with and worked every way possible over the last eight years, and [for the finale] we would lie to return to it." There is no indication, as the hook suggests, that the nvn debate is particularly central, and at minimum, I'd suggest rewriting the hook to say it is one of many issues related to the character. Interpreting the quote as promotion of nvn debate is also very ORish; of course producers want people to talk about their characters, but the hook makes it seem like her central purpose was to promote the nvn debate. This does not seem to be the case.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:23, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: Thank you for your comment. I have revised the hook and added two more ALTs. Let me know what you think. Aoba47 (talk) 15:15, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: I was wondering if you could look at the hook now that I have revised it? Aoba47 (talk) 15:16, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
For ALT1 and ALT2. For ALT3 I am not seeing a clear source that he "regretted" created them. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:19, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
