Considering we're fanficcers and they aren't even our characters, yet we can write them consistantly without gutting them, how hard can it really be for TFWIC to actually get Connor and Abby right?! *ends own mini-rant*

IN part, I think, because we have fewer constraints. We aren't answerable to ratings, we don't have to juggle special effects or location shoots that go pear-shaped, or lose things in the editing room, and we don't have to squeeze everything into forty-five minutes. Sometimes, something has to give, and minor points of characterisation are probably the easiest to give up.

Connor's leaving Abby I would guess was a problem with the editing (they seem to have had a few glitches with that in the ep, like Stephen's disappearing rifle later on). The dialogue suggests a misunderstanding between him and the others as to who was supposed to looking after her, but it was edited somewhat awkwardly, giving more of an impression that he'd just dumped her.
