I get it. I agree that Britt deserves it. I still think her points are valid in a general sense. If it was anyone else I might feel bad. I could careless about Britt. I can see why Britt would think Jason would have her back considering all the things he has gotten away with and how easily he disregards everything Sonny/Carly have ever done lol. She does love painting herself as being unfairly targeted like everyone's against her, but many people have given her numerous chances and she still acts like a selfish b**ch that is entirely unpleasant to be around at all times.

Well, a very mid Friday show. I don't know why everyone is convinced Chase is immediately going to divorce Brook Lynn. It's been like one day. It's not something that's insurmountable to overcome. I also don't know why Brook Lynn feels the need to apologize to Trina first. Those scenes went on far too long and were very circular. Trina is making the same points over and over while Brook Lynn is saying the same excuses we have heard over and over. I don't care. Have Tracy find some plastic surgeon for Jordan and let's move on. It's not BLQ's fault Curtis is a rage monkey and idiot so he can stay in jail. The look on Britt's face the entire episode when Jason completely shot her down was pretty funny. I'd honestly feel bad for her if she didn't deserve it. I don't even necessarily think Britt is wrong. She has valid points, but considering how much Britt has skated on in her lifetime it's hard to be sympathetic.

I wouldn't let Pratt off the hook, but I think Guza really had it in for Courtney. He resented ALW/Courtney being pushed so hard by Frons and once he pivoted to Monaco/Sam, Guza finally got free reign to destroy her. With Nik it is hard to say if Guza got tired of the character or if personal issues were in the way. He obviously struggled with addiction, but wasn't he on and off again dating Natalia Livingston for awhile? They may have actually even been engaged at one point? I am sure there were points the two were not getting along. Anyhow, I think Guza hit a wall with the character but I do wonder if backstage issues help push Nik/TC into the background more. As far as @Vee 's Britt point from earlier, it's clear he dislikes KT. I don't know how he feels about Britt as a character. All of this current stuff seems personal right down to hair and makeup. Down the line, I could see Frank bringing back Britt with a new actress and the character getting favorable writing.

I am not even sure why they gave the Tristian guy a contract. He's been on like 4 times since he started lol. I think Steve taking a break completely killed any ideas Frank had about Britt/Jason and is entirely over it all now like you said. There was a really long period of time where Jax was relying on hookers for sex. After Brenda left in 2003, aside from his Sam romance, that seemed to be what he was doing. There was a brief time I thought they might pair him with Liz during the surrogacy story, but that fizzled out quick. The Lucky/Liz are poor because of Lucky's medical bills so we have to rent out Liz's womb story is another weird C story from the era. Anyway it was a strange time because ALW left for a month or two and I think the show said they were recasting and then she came back to be killed off. Odd.

There's always a possibility she lingers around for awhile being snarky and maybe they pivot her to the new Dr. who seems to have no purpose as of yet. You could literally see her being dumped for Monaco in real time. The Jax romance seemed so random. I can't really recall if I liked it or not. I am going to say that means I didn't care lol. I do remember being irritated she immediately cheated on him with Nik though. Courtney just felt like she moving further and further down the line in pairings and given to anyone who was B or C available at the moment until a sweeps event could take her out.

The swiftness of Courtney's decline from lead to afterthought was glorious lol. I don't think Jason has given Courtney a second thought since 2005. Because of Spencer she sort of moved into this sainted role as someone very impactful on Nik's love life, which was never the case. Anyway, I predict Britt has 6 months left tops. Jason doesn't even care much after she almost got killed and just let Joss take care of her lol. Britt has always been someone unlikeable and hard to sympathize with, but it's getting to be overkill at this point.

I agree. I get the logic behind it too and I appreciate the use of history. I just don't think it's the same thing. Like you stated the bigger issue is her covering up everything and clearly not trusting her husband. BLQ's problem is that she constantly feels like she can't confide in Chase and doesn't feel "good enough" for him. As you said as well, Tracy's actions line up with we protect one another in the Q house, but Brook Lynn's line up with I protect myself. And I don't really know why everyone is making this such a huge ordeal-even Justine said it wasn't illegal. Then proceeded to guilt trip her afterwards.

I agree. On one hand I am glad there is some angst to Chase/Brook Lynn's pairing because it was getting very dull. On the other hand this story is low stakes as if the show was afraid to get BLQ too dirty. Ned comparing it to his actions in Jason's accident? Not the same at all. BLQ, at worst, unknowingly fled the scene of an accident. She could have went to the police station the next morning, got a traffic ticket and done an apology tour. If it leads to messiness with Willow/Chase that's fine. I just don't get the narrative that no one understands what it's like being a Quartermaine. That's not the issue really. Brook Lynn has a problem with telling the truth.

Man, I was hoping Willow/Chase would have a revenge bang. Instead Chase walks away. BORING!! And, yeah, Ned I love you. I do. But you act like no one understands how difficult it is to be a Quartermaine and the burden is so heavy. I hate "gatekeeper" Ned. I do like him being there for Brook Lynn though. I guess.

Gio was a little OTT. At the same time I can understand his frustration because the whole thing was idiotic. Brook Lynn didn't break the law or anything. She could have tearfully confessed the next day and that would have been that. Obviously there would be no drama if that happened, but this whole thing is basically her own creation. She deserves it, IMO. The Anna situation is even more idiotic. Again, I really don't care if she kills Britt, but there isn't anywhere for her to go from here. Is Finola leaving again?

Google can be your friend lol. Especially when I laid out her most important plotline right above your original post. Anyhow, I seriously am glad everyone is yelling at Brook Lynn because every move she's made has been stupid. Honestly I was also secretly rooting for Anna to kill Britt and to have no one question it ala Wagger.

Yes she did say knew after Cullum today.

I haven't seen many complaints about Floyd either. I agree with @DRW50 that the show hasn't given CF's Chad much to do and his romance with Belle is boring though. It's not like BF was given stellar material his last few years or anything so I think it's easy to move on. Maybe some people who feel stronger about Chad or Billy Flynn might care more.

I think it's weird. I am not super familiar with the above mentioned Jimmy Lee/Celia's story, but I also thought it was creepy when Chloe/Ned got married. Even if it wasn't a "real" marriage, they still were cousins that were publicly married. It was all played for wacky hijinks for the mixed married story, but even as a teenager I assumed that was highly frowned up in modern culture. Anyhow, I would drop both pairings and start over. It can't be that difficult to find these kids romances with characters they aren't related to or didn't once consider themselves related to.

I have never been to one and am more of a late 90's kid, but I think the girl scouts used to do them quite often.
