Ok, first off this is not my list but I liked it so much I thought I would start a thread about it. Here is a list of everything being about Gwen.

Casey finally gets a gambling story but it turns out to be all about GWEN.

Maddie gets a story about her serial killer sister but it all about GWEN.

Will never gets a story unless it's all about GWEN.

Jade - no story - unless it's about GWEN.

Poor Luke - no story - unless he is hanging out with Jade and it's all about GWEN.

Barbara - no story - is an ATM machine for GWEN.

Adam portrayed to be creepy even thou his parents are Hal and Margo, he really never had a story except for the GWEN singing career and of course he falls in love with GWEN.

Other posters also added Carly,Tom, Margo to the list of people that are just around to prop Gwen or have been destoryed because of Gwen.

So my next question is who is next??

Also this list is mostly just of the recent things that have been done to prop Gwen please feel free to add other characters from her past storylines or other examples of how she has destroyed other characters.

I understand the frustration!!! The entire teen scene revolves around Gwen. Luke probably would be front and center if he was friends with Gwen. LOL.

What's next...Gwen being friends with Nancy, so we can get Nancy on more?

The saddest part of the Gwen-centricity is how it's destroyed Carly. The entire chain of destruction started with Carly thinking she had killed her "baby brother" in some jealous snit. Once Carly had served her purpose (being the meanie that kept her child from her), they've barely been in scenes together. Even now, with Carly gone, Gwen has never ONCE looked in on her neice and nephew.

psst...I know it's a mistake, but "de-storyed" just cracks me up. It's so true!!

I don't think characters are being destroyed to prop Gwen or b/c of Gwen. I think they're all being destroyed by the hack writing the show!!

I love Gwen. Even after all this, I still have some glimmer of adoration for the character and especially the actress.

I can see, though, the way that J.P. has been leaning lately, that Jack and Alison are prolly next. <_<

Based on summer spoilers, maybe a real life person like Yakov Smirnoff or Mel Tillis. LOL

This happens on all soaps these days, the writers become enamored with one or two characters and write non-stop stories for them. But you can't go from one story to the next like this without running out of ORIGINAL ideas very quickly. See Gwen's next story after this, which starts about two seconds after this one.

Hack writing is one thing...but when almost every character on canvas is used to serve as mere props to "develop" one character, that's outrageous to me.

I can't imagine what JP and the other writers find so fascinating about Gwen that they'd completely ignore the potential of other fascinating characters to prop her up (ie. Will, Luke, Barbara, Carly, etc.)

    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis.
