Melissa and Jonathon Hug

Very sweet.

The only other time the might have is when he got married but I haven't seen that show in a while.
Willie really grew on me after a while, he would have been a good friend if Albert stayed.

I loved Willie's character and wish they had given him more to do. It would have been nice to see him working in the store or restaurant earlier than right before the end of the show.

I agree, they had him mature quickly and I loved him as a teenager. He was never an "actor" per se, I think Melissa wrote he didn't like to rehearse etc. but he did his role very well (when he was out of the corner) : )

Would have been very cool if Willie and Albert would have been closer friends. Could have made some great stories.......

I think it would have been possible once Nellie was married. Probably not before, as she bossed Willie around and I doubt she would have been okay with Willie being friends with Albert.

Depends on how sneaky Willie could have been, but in the total context, you are right.

No hug in "May I have This Dance", just a handshake......

Just an Opinion..........

If you really analyze his season 9 performances, he really got better......
I personally think he was REALLY good in "May I Have This Dance".
When he was trying to get up the nerve to ask Mr. Brown for Rachel's hand was a great scene.
He was one of those characters in the show that got better with age. He was no Matt Labyorteaux but he
was getting much better when the show went off the air....

I agree, when he was young, he could get away with just being cute and irritating at times. He didn't have to act too much to stuff sour balls in his mouth and tease, but he had great delivery with one liners back to his parents. Just the way he said things, he made "Willie" Willie.
When Nancy came, he was coming into his own and I would have liked to see more of him and his wife.

Yeah.That's a sweet hug.

I agree! He was like good wines: they gets better with age! I don't know if he really liked to act, or not, but his lasts performances as an actor were very good.
