What the hell are the writers doing to Quinn on Glee?

A majority of the time I can understand why the writers choose to go the way they do on Glee, I usually go with the flow when I watch the show. I usually have no real complaints except for Mercedes' lack of storyline (Hoping for that to change next year.). I have never felt the urge to write about the show in an angry way but I can't take it any longer. I have been wondering since the show returned from winter hiatus what the writers' are doing with the character of Quinn Fabray on Glee.

I grew to love her last season and thought she had some serious character development that made me want to root for the character. I wanted to see her get back on top when the show came back, and have a new perspective on how she treats people. And the writer's did that kinda, she became head cheerio again and was dating Sam cautiously. I felt that that was the right step for the character to take I mean she wasn't perfect and she had issues. But she had become a better person than the one we were introduced to when the show first started. I just loved the character.

Then after Sectionals while the show was on break Ryan Murphy decided he didn't like Sam and Quinn together and that they were boring. Okay maybe, I didn't see it but whatever. When the show came back on after the Super Bowl, it was like they erased everything the character of Quinn had learned and been about. Her kissing and flirting with Finn while she was still with Sam and the fact that she dragged Finn down with her (God how I hate douchey Finn). I thought that she had learned her lesson that cheating is not a good thing. How many times does this have to happen on the show before we can expect some character to catch on that this hurts people. Her obsession with being popular and Prom Queen is so boring and it feels as if she isn't really with Finn because she cares about him but because she wants the popular vote. I hate that they have done this to the character.

I am going to say that "Born This Way" was the deal-breaker for me on the character, we come to find out that Quinn was bullied in middle school and thus changed her appearance when she went to a new school. I was fine with that the whole appearance changing thing, cool whatever I could see the character doing that. But what I don't get is why Quinn after being bullied and ignored did that to other people at McKinley. You can be popular without being a total bitch to everyone that you come in contact with. I don;t understand how the writers want us to feel about the character they keep changing who she is and I can't keep track of it. Are we supposed to hate her or root for her? I don't know I would just like them to make up their damn minds about Quinn.

Now, I have nothing against Dianna or her portrayal of the character she is just doing what she is told. I am pissed at the writers for ruining the character that had grown over a season and a half. I realize every show needs a bitch but I thought we had that in Santana.
