Yup, basically both need eachother and if they were handled in the right way, they would be the best friends evah.

Yup, Patricia had Sibuna. It was that need Joy had of being part of the group, that made her desperate. But everybody knows that Patricia...and Mara would've helped Joy (in S2) if she asked them for help (with her crush on fabian and feeling rejected)

The sad part was that Patricia never had the Sibunas 4 her personal issues ...maybe except KT...buy you know what i mean., Only 4 work. Ugh.

Well, i possibly meant "weaker" as weaker when it comes to facing negative treatment from others.

I don't hate her either. I hated her some of her actions, and  her lack of development, but not Joy herself. Actually, if she was portrayed in the right way, if she was given the chance to grow up, she would be one of my very favorites. Right up there with Patricia, Alfie, Amber and Jerome :) Actually, I love b-witches with hearts of gold, if writers bothered more in showing that Joy has one, things would be so much better.

Like, not turning her into the submissive perosn she was at the end of S3. At the end, she could still be that bossy, sneaky, spotlight lover girl, that is loyal to her friends and only uses her b-witchyness to solve problems and protect her friends.
