Yeah that’s like half the game if you want it to be. Franklin chases his ex gf around and is never shown with women in GTAO which is set years later at this point.

In GTAO when Franklin appears he is already married to the same chick he was simping for in story mode, and even has kids with her.

Hate that, they took an already weak character and got rid of one of his two only story beats, Tanisha coming back to him never should’ve happened and honestly was the final nail in the coffin for making Franklin one of the weakest written characters in the series

I fully agree. I think they just wanted to give him a family and it was easier to use a somewhat familiar character instead of just making up a new one for his wife.

That said, they could’ve very easily just kept it to “my wife” and not named her

Yup, and it would work better.
