Forget how easily Daniel bought it.

Forget how he suddenly became a perfect forger.

Victoria (after all the security problems the Newmans have had) lets this stranger into her house, and starts this dealing with him?

Yes. Characters are being dumbed down to make this story play out. Why didn't Vikki call the cops on the spot? The painting wouldn't have disappeared. It would have been confiscated by the feds and deemed a forgery. Why would Daniel consider putting himself at the scene of the crime, instead of calling the feds and reporting what Jana found out? Why didn't Jana confide in Victoria? They could have called the feds and backed up Daniel's story. That thug has a lot less chance of hurting Daniel with the Newman's and the feds in on the situation.

And his teeth are jacked-up, too,

I never really paid attention to his ugly teeth until now. LOL! You're right, yuck.

Why am I thinking that Daniel/Victoria (played by Heinle) would make a nice summer fling?

The only fling Amelia Heinle needs is someone flinging her ass off this show.

There's been so much meaningless sex on the show lately, I think any story about a fling or affair will probably not have an impact.

LoL, you guys are right, for a minute I got caught up there in all the casual sex. It wouldn't be so bad if these people weren't MARRIED.

The only time MG had serious chemistry with a woman was CK or DS Lily. And the only time AH Vicky had chemistry with a man was with Nick or Adam.

MG's best chemistry is with GR. It would have been fascinating if Daniel & Kevin realized their feelings for each other were not platonic. I think that could have been amazing.

Ok so either

A) I'm supposed to sympathize with the fact that Victoria and Daniel are so desperate for a storyline they do the stupidest things to initiate drama?

--------------------------------or------------------------------------------

B ) I'm not supposed to care about this art storyline

Loved the MarJane/Jack "blindman's-bluff" scene today, well done she's a crazy mess. SH is playingher perfectly. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what she will do and if Jack would catch a clue. Loved how SH transitioned from confident/seductive/mysterious facade to almost emotionally fickle by the time Jack left

Loved the Adam/Ashley scenes. CE man, if it were left upto me to just watch and determine why I would have never guessed. He is absolutely owning this character loved the dynamic and chemistry that is developing between Adam/Ashley.

Daniel should have been one of the guys Sharon hooked up with.

Daniel should have been gay.

They could have done the old standby where a sexually confused Daniel goes to Sharon for answers, and sex. Imagine Phyllis' reaction.

Since Sharon is now all about sex, maybe they could have her become a sex therapist.

It really would have been good I think. It would have ramped out the Phyllis/Sharon hate. It wouldn't have taken anything for Sharon to seduce Daniel. He has a soft spot for her due to Cassie.

LMAO at Sharon the "sex therapist".

OK, it's Passions-lite, which isn't much better.

I don't understand why every storyline has to take a dark direction. I don't understand why most women on this show have to see a man as the be all and end all of their existence. I don't understand all the ridiculous elements like back from the dead, injecting eyes with substances, and the constant quad flip-flopping. Also, we've just come off a cartoon kidnapping, a chipmunk vision story, and Daniel's art story is still eye rolling material. And now a potential convoluted as hell baby switch that makes no sense anyway given Ashley and Sharon's pregnancy timelines?

This show is taking ridiculous and over-used soap cliches a little too far and it's getting annoying and distracting from the reality the show is allegedly based on. Also, this show lacks morality these days. It feels like whatever heart this show had has been taken away and in its place, there's this black hole.

And I won't argue with any of that, A - really, truly, sincerely. I totally get where you're coming from, and while it doesn't bother me so much, I do completely understand why it does bother you, and respect that.

I just can't call it Passions.
