ALL: So Tired of 1 or 2 Characters dominating?


Recommended Posts

Why do Writers have these silly obsession over 1 or 2 characters. Look over at General Hospital, the Show is almost nothing then just Jason and the whole stupid Mob wars. I stopped watching GH because so tired of Jason and Sonny Show and when they are caught or something, they are only rewarded with a slap on the wrist. Take Jason on trail for an instant, he is a cold blooded killer and i know he was the one to kill Alcazar(i dont know if he is dead because i haven't watched GH like since september 1st and Jason yet again was not guilty again. Hey i do love Jason Morgan but come on, it is pretty sad that Steve Burton takes up almost the entire show, hey steve burton is a great actor but come on give him a break.

The problem for GH is that they need more balance and not just focus around certain characters for months for example Jason/Elizabeth/Sam/Lucky/Sonny/Carly/Jerry Jacks. I quit watching GH because the show is nothing but the Mob and so tired of it. TELL ME WHEN THEIR IS MORE BALANCE AND THAT THE MOB SHOW IS DONE, then i will come back to watch.

another thing that all the storys on GH is a turn off. God i hate the whole Jason/Elizabeth fighting their feelings thing. Whats this is like the 400 times we been through this lol.

Days Of Our Lives

Now over at Days Of Our Lives, the show is nothing but Sami and EJ. But hey lately days has gotten better balance and from the spoilers for the next month or 2, we will cont the balance and we get more Deidre Hall. Hey i love Allison Sweeney and James Scott, they are amazing actor/actress but Sheffer has some sick obsession with them that is not heathly lol. Days can be the best soap on television if we get better balance. The last 3 episodes amazing balance, writing, directing, acting and i hope days keeps it up. Sheffer needs to give Ali and James a day off for once, they are always on. I don't mind the young adults on, their story is alot better now then Touch The Sky, its alot more realistic but keep them to 2-3 days per week.

I understand that the writers have their favorites but with Hogan Sheffer, he plays too much favorites in Sami and EJ. Heck i got my favorites too in Chelsea and Stephanie and if i was writer, i would focus on them alot but i won't over do it what sheffer is doing. Also i thought about this, have Sami on alot isn't that bad, well if u compare Sami's airtime to Jason's airtime on GH, it is like half of airtime. Ali was in 134 episodes this year so far and Steve Burton was in 174 episodes, the show is like nothing then just Jason.

I think Days is alot better and the best soap on television right now. Too bad nbc or the fans cant see that, Days right now do have balance between the vets and the younger set. Their acting, directing and writing has been awesome.

Yea Shelley and Darin was on alot in september but i think Sheffer is setting up their relationship story and i am happy about that. I love Stephanie and Max.

POINT IS THAT A SHOW CAN'T DO WELL WITH JUST 1 CHARACTER DOMINATING LIKE SAMI BRADY ON DAYS AND JASON MORGAN ON GH.

WRITERS, HOW HARD IS IT TO GIVE US BALANCE.

I have this thing on my computer where I get webclips from this message board and it doesn't tell me who posts but I can also tell when someone has created another thread on another topic that we discuss every month in the episode counts.

Well I agree with you stephanie....I find alot of the soaps recycle the same storylines with the same people. For a while I thought they could change the name of ATWT to Gwen and Will's neverending drama! But finally they are giving us a little break from that storyline. I'm just curious about something....almost afraid to mention it....but I'm almost afraid to start threads sometimes because it seems some people really rag on people for their threads or opinions. I thought this was a message board where we all kind of aired our thoughts and love or hate of our fave soaps and couples? Sometimes its scary to even post!!

Well on All my Children is happening with Zach and Kendall and I"m so tired so them. It's so patheic that a show with some of the most talented people on it make us watch these two characters everyday. I want to see more Palmer,Adam, Tad, Marion, Erica, Colby, Sean,Julia, Josh and Opal Not the Zach and Kendall Hour.

You and me both....thats why I stick to the GH boards primarily...plus the primetime stuff like GG. Much more friendlier crowd.

Anyways balance is good but I admit that I do have favorites and that their are some characters that I could care less about on certain soaps yet seem to be obsessions for other people.

I think that many times, people get annoyed with people who have been banned, yet continue to come back as if nothing ever happened. With so many members on the board, it's hard for the admins and mod to keep track, so some people slip through the cracks. The members catch right on though, and in their annoyance, I think at times they take it out on those people.

For the most part, we're not a bad bunch. We like to discuss a lot of different things, but there are people who can't respect others opinions and those who post only to annoy others. If you ever have a problem, just PM me and I'll try to handle it for ya :D

    • A little too much focus on Chad and Cat today but I enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that Jennifer’s gonna get dumped on though, even though I think that her anger is completely understandable and justified. And honestly, Ron is finally gone; Abigail can come back now.  But, welcome back, Anna! It was nice seeing Carrie have scenes with her mother. Christie Clark and Leann Hunley have never really had that many scenes together and to see them have them now is really nice. I’m glad that both of them were there to comfort Marlena too. Their words were definitely the thing that Marlena needed to hear. Btw, with all this talk of Noah, does it mean that he’s gonna be introduced soon? Amy, revealing that John changed her flat tire many years ago seemed a little random though. I would rather she have said something about how everybody in Salem knows of John Black because of how he was always such a hero. But at the same time, her story also showed what a great guy John was.  I liked Kate’s scenes with Philip too, and her promise to get back at Xander for what he did. And since we didn’t see JPL in the bed, did he need some time off or something? And yeah, everything involving ‘One Stormy Night’ still seems very Ron-like to me.
    • The second photo featuring the late John Spencer is from the Law & Order episode, "Prescription For Death", which was the (second) pilot/first episode all the way back in 1990! He played the father of a daughter that had gone to the ER for a mere sore throat but ended up dead because the doctor on call was drunk and had given her medication that she had an adverse reaction to, after receiving some other medication. So, he will always have that great distinction in addition to The West Wing. (The first pilot, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was filmed in 1988! The show was offered to CBS, but they passed. In syndication, it is oddly placed as the sixth episode of Season 1. And Roy Thinnes played DA Alfred Wentworth there. When NBC picked up the show two years later, Thinnes declined to return, and that's how we got Steven Hill's DA Adam Schiff.)
    • exactly. I can understand schadenfreude if it were real, but a lot of this is just an engineered distraction.
    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
