What makes a character irredeemable? What are actions that cross the line, can't be undone, and take them a step too far for the audience to ever forgive them? It's a super important question! If we as a storyteller cross a line we didn't know was there, we can lose our reader or viewer. We discuss what one can and cannot come back from; there's a super effective, super simple formula, actually.
