Are you saying that James is a villain For me it isnt a case of Hero and Villain, it is a game and they have each played their part in there to entertain us. I think a lot just prefer Gary's "game" than James and vice versa, that is how it should be. I think if Gary were in pain he would have left long ago, the pain has been him knowing that all the HMs with the exception of Audley and now Lauren, are against him. He was told from the beginning that he was disliked by all but he is still there through his own self awareness and his positive thought. It is a truth that up until now, he has never said a thing against any of the HMs, if it is happening now he has done very well to last this long.
