[edit] Seans love for Tanya

I think he does love for her and care for her, since he first arrived in the square. He didnt love any of his previous girlfriends but he loved her and she used him,, Like he had used his past girlfriends i.e. Ruby. I think that is incredibly sad.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sean arrested.jpg

Image:Sean arrested.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Personality

This section is coming over as editor opinion. It needs sourcing. We cant state that Sean is one of the soap's most complex characters unless someone else states it first. Quotes from Kazinsky are not sourced either, and it needs a little rewriting for inappropriate language. So i'm preserving it until a time when we can address all that and reinclude.

Sean Slater is one of the soap's most complex characters. Though on the surface highly contemptuous and manipulative, as actor Rob Kazinsky commented, "He has many hidden layers." Indeed, a softer side is evident towards younger sister Stacey, who he has assumed a very paternal role with. He is fiercely protective of his sibling, and often finds himself fighting her various boyfriends, although he does seem to have come to an understanding with her husband, Bradley Branning. His closeness with Stacey is linked to him leaving the family home following the death of their father; she had to cope with the burden of their mentally ill mother Jean alone. He seems to be hiding feelings of immense guilt about what happened and thus this a contributory factor to his apparent nature. Further evidence that there is more to him than meets the eye is his kind treatment of Tanya Branning following the breakdown of her marriage. Though a character seemingly so full of hate, Rob Kazinsky remarked, "The only person who he really hates is himself."Gung adin 20:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I added CN tags to it a few weeks back on the hope that someone would add sources where Rob Kazinsky said those things about his character.

I agree the section looks nothing but an editors opinion on the character, I was gonna delete it a few weeks back. Dan the Man1983 (talk) 17:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
