Maybe she should check out the wardrobe for her character. I'm not sure if she'd laugh or cry.

I agree. You can't build a story behind two bland characters. At least Allie is pretty much a blank canvas, she's got potential to go somewhere. Noah needs a jolt of some sort. A secret boyfriend. A drug problem. Goals! Ambition! That's what's missing from the younger set! Too much focus on pairing them with nothing to root for. I wish Ravi was still around so Noah could have a friend and a talk to or even competition. All the youths are married off so they can't even have some good scenes together. Even if 75% are related.

Ooh! Tessa finally got a new hairstyle! That's the most exciting thing I've seen since the Diane/Nikki slaps.

Sad but true! Hell, look what happened to Ivy! Do characters even have friends anymore?!

PASSIONS had "the tabloid"

Too bad that the show is so quick to eliminate any and all auxiliary families. They Avants were good. Sasha had the makings of a great conniving bitch

I stand by what I said. What were they going to do with her? Hook her up with Philip? Wait... I'm not mad at that!

Yes it was! Shauna wasn't expecting that at all! Apparently neither was Brooke! Brooke was too shook to even retaliate, Quinn would have worn her out of she had!

It would be nice to see some effort into mixing her up with some different characters. Does she have any friends?

Yeah! Sarah is bad too! I always forget about her. Sal probably left because she knows with Eli gone she's going straight to the Island of Lost Toys!

That's one of my favorite soap scenes EVER! It sounds like something I would say!

Look how that worked out for Loren Lott...

Paris is really just a poorly developed character. Plain and simple and they have no idea what to do with her because they don't know who she is. Is she the bitch? Is she the ingenue? Is she the audience avatar? She's so undefined that she's not even root worthy. If the actress brought some nuance to the portrayal we might get somewhere, but it's meh.

This is why I hate when production gives the actor so much power!

I can get into a slight aging, Shawn D is a good example, they only added about 3 years. It doesn't screw up too much, if anything. The ages also work because of the ages of the parents. That's why when they aged Lily's kids on Y&R it was so jarring. Mike Horton is great example of poor aging, because now he's been in his 30s since 1985!

I'm saying Will and Philip were born the same damn year! I'm quite sure Abigail and Brady were as well. The ages get so fucked up. EJ being born two years after Will is still pretty crazy.

Hopefully we get a lot more Imani, and hopefully she gets more integrated in the cast.

DAYS is awful with ages! Don't get me started on the Will/Phillip or the Brady/Abigail nonsense.

I guess that was vague. I was referring to DAYS.

Wow! Thanks for clearing that up! Jensen Buchanan sounds like a piece of work! It's no wonder she didn't last on ATWT!

Wasn't Anne Heche willing to come back to AW, but they went with Cynthia Watros instead?

Exactly, they also have the issue that a lot of keeping all the Black characters in one bubble. It limits them, when they just play Winters Roulette. Bold and the Beautiful is one of the WORST when it comes to this.

Unpopular Opinion: I don't like when soaps become too family oriented. It just becomes very incestuous at times. That's why I love characters like Nicole. She can be a romantic wildcard because she's not related to everyone. I remember around 2005 the Brady's were dating in to he family, solely based on the fact that there were no characters in that group to mix it up with.

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with Quinn's shirt?!

The way everyone was saying it on the show was driving me up the wall! I guess they are from mid Pennsylvania.
