It doesn't matter if he's "passive" or everyone else around him does the most action or generates the most stories. The point is everyone, to varying degrees, revolves around him. It's not about cherry picking certain parts of the show where someone else looked like they were in the forefront because in the end it circles back to him in some form or another.So you agreeing that @irukandji Adalind & Nick vs Juliette & Nick Relationships were the same only because Nick is the lead? Is Rosalee's relationship to Nick the same too?
Juliette wasn't the lead, she was his victimised girlfriend turned to a scorned woman/villain because of him. It's in S5 that she's first independent of him but only superficially because as part of HW, she still had to work with him and wasn't completely free of Nick's shadow. And S6 is a meshing of too many ideas. In 6x11 she claims her independence again but as a combination of Juliette and Eve but her story still revolves around Nick.
I agree with @irukandji it doesn't matter which relationship you choose, it's Nick that's in the driver's seat, not because he's proactive or anything but because that's how it's written. Shows are typically written to cater to the lead more than to anyone else. They will have the other support cast feign independence from the lead but any real independence results in disappearing from the show permanently unless from the very get go the show is written as an ensemble cast like GoT or Westworld where you can have characters driving their own stories without ever interacting with the others.
Juliette/Eve has 3rd billing while Adalind is 8th billing is that not important either?
Mary, I think if Juliette had had children and had stayed with Nick, we would have seen much the same situation we would have with Adalind and Nick. She'd quite her job to raise the kids. Just my take on it.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
