Yellowstone Fans Are Tired Of The Sibling Rivalry Storyline
By Ava Barnes
Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) understandably holds a grudge against her half-brother, Jamie (Wes Bentley). After all, he's the reason why she can't have biological children after he took her to a clinic on the Broken Rock reservation after a teenage tryst with Rip (Cole Hauser) resulted in her pregnancy. She was sterilized after an abortion was performed at Jamie's request, and without her expressed consent. Add on a heaping helping of sibling rivalry and misplaced loyalties and you have a woman bent on revenge. When Jamie shows up to bail Beth out of jail during "Horses in Heaven," she realizes he's been caring for the child he shares with his ex-campaign manager and vows to take the kid from him just to rob him of the pleasure of parenthood that she has been denied.
But fans of "Yellowstone" are getting sick of Beth's vendetta, no matter how understandable it is, as Jamie has shown remorse for his horrible deed. On Twitter, many fans are both exhausted by the storyline and the character's treatment of each other. "I like Beth protecting the family and the ranch, I do. But this s*** with Jamie is gettin' played," said @AcezUp. They added that they're unsure if they're supposed to be rooting for Beth or rooting against her after her vow to take custody of the infant. @Timmysmash23 even called it the most irritating part of the program.
Some fans who are sick of the sibling rivalry storyline think it would help if Jamie worked up some courage around his sister. "Yea, they've gotten over that she's a bad ass and hates his guts like 3-4 times a show for 4+ seasons now. we get it. jamie not being such a whipped pup around her would help though," @MeSflanagan89 tweeted.
