:nod: Brenda's position is even worse, though, because Dylan admits to loving Kelly and Toni, connecting to them both, but he obviously has only contempt for Brenda. He never admits to feeling connected or being truly in love with her.
And he flies off to London only because Toni died. She is his rebound. He doesn't go to Kelly for comfort because he wasn't going to use her like that.
But just like his first kiss with Brenda, he'll use her readily to forget about his problems. And they obviously don't have a very strong relationship when he's in London because Brenda goes on a tour of Scotland without him. He's there in order not to be in his life. And when he's ready to get healed, he comes back to Kelly. When he's ready to live his life again, he goes to Kelly.
Brenda was puppy love and other than that, she obviously meant nothing significant to him.
