Members QueenOfHearts Posted March 14, 2013 Members Share Posted March 14, 2013 What was bad was the rewriting of that as if Dru was some cheater who had an affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members full hearts Posted May 5, 2013 Members Share Posted May 5, 2013 I hate that term so much. It was used constantly for Adam/Sharon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juniorz1 Posted May 5, 2013 Members Share Posted May 5, 2013 Legacy character. That term drives me bonkers, especially since it's debatable who is and isn't one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted May 5, 2013 Members Share Posted May 5, 2013 Incredibly over used: retcon prop bad writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 5, 2013 Members Share Posted May 5, 2013 I hate that one. Tired of retcon too. Not everything is a retcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 Bash! Ugh, I hate this words because stans use it to keep others from talking about their favs and manipulated moddies on other boards to integrate it into their policies. On many boards, you are not able to say when someone can't act. You can't say that the outfit a person was wearing is unflattering. You can't say you don't like a hair cut, etc. SOC is the lead offender! I hate that damn word so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 I got banned from a message board before because I said an actor couldn't act and the fangurls got upset. The bash rules only apply to whoever the mods at SOC like. "Bash" threads will stay up for hours and days if it's about some one they don't like.

Members juniorz1 Posted May 8, 2013 Members Share Posted May 8, 2013 Here's another one: "tentpole character." And one I wish we could overuse, but haven't had a story that qualified in a LONG time- "umbrella story." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 8, 2013 Members Share Posted May 8, 2013 Oh it's still overused---just inappropriately for any story that takes over a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 8, 2013 Members Share Posted May 8, 2013 Umbrella story is used all the time to hype "Cartini". It is blind praise for throwing [!@#$%^&*] against the walls and being happy that it rains down on all the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 8, 2013 Members Share Posted May 8, 2013 ITA I mostly hear it about their stories. Any story that involves more than 5 people is called an umbrella story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 9, 2013 Members Share Posted May 9, 2013 Fan favorite. Everyone who has a few vocal fangurls and has the soap press kissing their asses is called a fan favorite now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 9, 2013 Members Share Posted May 9, 2013 Stan. I hate that term and how people throw that out there if you like a certain character/couple they don't. It really seemed to have come out if nowhere but is used all the time now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
