Will we be seeing more of Josh Mankey??

[Sarah Ashley T.]

I don't particularily like Josh, but I was wondering, will we be seeing more of him in the 4th season?? It would add on to more drama, seeing how Kim and ron will be dating.. is it possible that like Bonnie is to be jelous, that Josh may be to. . ?? Is it possible that Kim may get distracted by other boys (* cough I seriously hope not cough*)

. . .

what do y'all think>

If only to prove that he wasn't just a plot device, I would welcome a 4th season appearance from Josh.

I'm guessing no unless we want our duo to deal with the ex-boyfriend issue. Heck maybe Zita (who doesn't seem to be hated at all. Wonder why it's always the guy) will appear to balance the issue. Though personally I doubt it.

I llike Josh. I'm hoping he will be. n.n

[PossibleKim]

Hope so

[Raptor™]

I hope so too, Josh was sort of an important part in Kim's high school life. Its was shown in seasons 1 and 2. It was lessened down at season 3. I would love to see a Josh and Bonnie pairing, then Bonnie can gloat to Kim about her new, and better than "yours" boyfriend. Anything can happen after this point.

I think he has appeared/metioned in 6 episodes.
1) Crush
2) October 31st
3) Blush
4) The Full Monkey
5) Emotion Sickness
6) So The Drama (mention only)

For me, he can be used for another episode. He should have at least a cameo with Tara at StD...

I hope hes in more eps but hey you never know.

I'm not sure how seriously we can take the Tara/Josh coupling (though I used it in my own stories). Tara was dating someone else in Steal Wheels, and in So the Drama she's dancing with a different boy every time we see her.

Aside from his very erratic relationship with Kim, what does Josh do?

1) He decorates the gym for school dances (Crush) but not always (Queen Bebe).
2) He designed a mural painted by younger kids (Blush)
3) He played in a band at Monique's Halloween party (October 31)
4) He's Bonnie's platonic friend, and she may have more interest in him than that (Crush, Blush, Full Monkey)
5) Seems to be considered a desireable date but doesn't act as though this is important to him (all appearances)

Given this, could I think of uses for him? Sure!

Realistically, Josh was absent from "So the Drama" because there wasn't any time to work him in. Seeing his reactions to the events shown would be interesting. Heck, seeing Felix Renton's reactions would be interesting! Felix might not go anywhere near a dance and the social spiderweb around it, but Josh's absence feels like an absence. Where is he? Kind of felt like he must have moved away, but he was also missing from "Queen Bebe," an episode that could have easily given him a cameo, so I could be wrong about this.

I really don't know if they're gonna use him again or not. He's a good character we really don't know much about. I've read fanfics in perfect harmony with known canon that have wildly different takes on how nice (or not) Josh really is. I think he's probably a nice guy, but it's not hard to make him a real jerk and still do what we see in the episodes.

[aliciamartin]

it would be nice to see more of Josh but then again this is going to all new stuff

[Forlong]

They did start using regulars as background characters in Roachie. If we see Josh again, it will probably just be a cameo.

[Scoutcraft Piratess]

I wouldn't mind seeing Josh again. I only happen to find him dull--and that's because he doesn't do very much because they aren't giving him anything to do! (wow, I think that's the source of my antagonism against Tara.)

Unfortunately,I can't see him as much more than a plot device.

[Lord Mozenrath]

Josh Mankey is such a rare character. He should be given a chance to appear more in KP Season 4.

[Sorsha]

As long as he does more than a cameo, and give us something cool, I'm okay with seeing him again.

Maybe he can confess his true feelings to Kim along with this complicated explanation of why they "grew apart" according to him!
