New Comic, Marten happy, wonder if we are heading towards an end?
ASB84:
To be honest, I'm kind of glad to see Faye get fired, and hope that it sticks...at least for a little while. I think this is a storyline that needs serious consequences, and shouldn't be resolved quickly and within a week of strips. If there has been a weakness in the writing of QC over the years, it's that a storyline will lead up to a drama bomb, and then everything is over and done with and resolved very quickly, with minimal fallout or residual tension in a situation where there really should be some fences to mend and lasting consequences to deal with.
If Dora changes her mind and tells Faye to come in tomorrow after all - as she did after the Hugging Incident - then it greatly undermines what has been a serious and realistic storyline about Faye falling upon hard times. In the aforementioned incident, Dora overreacted due to her own insecurities, and made a bad call in blurring the lines between friendship and employment; changing her mind was a case of cooler heads prevailing, when she realised her mistake. In this case, she's rightfully upset that her rules and her trust have been breached. It would be bad writing to quickly go back on that, just for the sake of maintaining the status quo.

I don't think we've seen how pissed Dora could get over this.

Methinks that Faye is the one who is pissed, or pished for that matter.
Method of Madness:
Oh, FUCK YOU, Dora. What a stupid fucking thing to do.
Not firing Faye, extreme, but justified. I mean firing Faye NOW. It'd be one thing if she told Faye to go home and they'd talk in the morning, but firing her when she's drunk and hurting? Faye will no longer feel like she has anything to hold back for, so what happens next will probably be much worse than maintaining a buzz.
Nyithra:
This would be one thing if Dora and Faye only had a professional relationship, but Dora knows that Faye has been going through a rough time. Suspension without pay, dragging her to a therapist, or telling her to go to AA would have been much more sensitive solutions. I do understand why Dora had this kneejerk reaction, but she's still Faye's friend and should treat her with a little compassion instead of just telling her to get the fuck out.
