Ok, enough of this. From my point of view the debate isn't over whether or not Abyss is raping Chelsea, it's about how badly written and executed this storyline is.
Yes, fighting over valets has happened for decades, but it isn't meant to happen this way. Heels steal beautiful women away and laugh and then a face comes along and frees them and we cheer. The heels treat the women like dirt on TV and that's the extent of the ownership.
Abyss is a monster, he roars, spits, laughs, claps and scares the bejesus out of her, and he has taken her against her will. He owns her for 30 days, but what on earth is that meant to mean? Like, what did the writers want us to take from that? It doesn't matter what it is, it matters that the writers have failed to clarify it, and it would only take one line of dialogue from someone on-screen to clear it up. It's sloppy writing.
If they're going for Abyss has fallen in love with Chelsea and wants to rescue her from Desmond, then why does he want to own her? To sit her down and treat her well for 30 days whether she likes it or not so that when she's free she'll stay? Why bother? Why not just be nice to her? Also, Chelsea at times gives off the vibe of a girlfriend to Wolfe, and at times he seems to be working for her in some regard, so what exactly is she being saved from? Again, sloppy writing (they really need to make it clear what the relationship between Wolfe and Chelsea is too).
It's a badly written angle, it's been put together badly, executed badly, and it doesn't appear to be heading to anything resembling clarity or quality. The issue of rape is really just a series of jokes that are highlighting how badly written it is, it's not a literal issue of Abyss being a potential rapist, we know he isn't.
