#and tony is in 4x02 so i think he was gonna be in either way

Maybe that’s the point though. James is part of Teresa’s current life and her old life doesn’t cross with it? So Tony and him were never supposed to meet? And maybe when they had decided on the new s4 storyline when James wasn’t a part of it then Tony was included.

Hey anon! This made me think and dang. Crazy how technically in s4 it was Tony who was Teresa’s current life and James as her past - 😓

But I do actually think a lot of the season was about Teresa’s past life clashing with her new one - Tony’s arrival, Pote killing Tony’s dad, Teresa’s intentions with Tony and Brenda, the godmother retcon, Kelly Anne, Teresa thinking she could leave her S3 life behind and become a legit businesswoman etc. IMO, James being faced with his past decisions in regards to Tony/Gameboy and sparing Kelly Anne could have fit in pretty well!

I do see what you mean though...and even if James had been in s4 there was no guarantee he’d even get to interact w/ Tony anyway lol. One of these days I’ll quit trying to rewrite the season 🤣
