At times, it can be quite disturbing. In the context of soap operas... the absence of really grown-up... mature... stories... really depresses me sometimes. Take Bold, for instance... they want us to believe that Brooke... who’s nearing 70 in a few years... is still fixated on one thing... winning a man. That’s it. Here’s a grandmother whose only trick is to put her lingerie and seduce Ridge. It’s almost grotesque at times, and it’s not because of KKL’s looks (in fact, she appears decades younger) but because of the tiresome, repetitive nature of it all. When you hit your mid-60s and still behave like a 20-something desperate fool... showing no signs of maturity or growth... it’s just pitiful. I have no issue with women and men looking attractive and being styled in a youthful way, but I crave mature storylines too. Something deeper than just 'will you marry me.'
However, there are some people like that... that keep making the same mistakes until their last day. And it's a pathology that soap operas embrace a lot.
