To some pea brain in the writing staff, they continue to provide comic relief, right?

To Queen Marie Antoinette, I mean Maria Arena Bell apparently...

She has to learn that her idea of "comedic relief" is falling flat to a good portion of her audience and it really isn't that funny anyway.

But let me guess, she's waiting to showcase this next year in another Emmy reel for Outstanding DRAMA Series.

This show is managed terribly...

I thought he meant he never hooked up with a man before he left. If they meant he has never slept with a man in the last 20 years...well, that is just ridiculous. What was the point in leaving? If he was going to be celibate he might as well have stayed in town and raised his son.

Ah, OK, thanks. Got the wrong end of the stick. As it were.

Can they write Jeffrey and Gloria OUT please? Geesh, it's so obvious that they no longer know what to do with these two and they just shove them in wherever they can. I would think it would be an easy decision when they need to pare down their canvas and when they know they ignore half of the cast.

Speaking of Jeffrey...how old is Ted Shakelford?? Damn..he looks like Grandpa in a rocking chair type...LOL.

I was going to make a "then he 'ached' with something else" joke, but don't want to be accused of pornography.

LMAO. I was going to ask if "pornographic infestation" looks like:

Sheesh......dont get anyone started on it again...LOL

"Colleen" is another one they have no idea what to do with. I partly blame it on the actress, since they let her leave every 5 minutes to do a movie she wants to do, but if they haven't had any long-term plans for this character for YEARS now, why is she still here? Can't she be written for long-term, recast, or sent off to live with Traci in New York?

I mean, are they seriously going to drudge up her seat on the board again, TWO MONTHS after it was last played up for two episodes or so in May? Seriously? They expect us to be invested in this when it was dropped a million times since February?

Who is really running this show? They can't be that stupid, but maybe they are.

He recently turned 63.

Yeah, she needs to go. I don't see her serving any purpose in Genoa City. And for that matter, I'm on board with Gloria bouncing out of Wisconsin too with Jeffy in toe!

He looks like he is 93. Damn...he has not aged well. I know guys his age who look much much younger than him.

I know, a perfect example of what 40 years of non-stop smoking can do to one's face. You see what a ham looks like after it's been smoked.

I didn't know he was a smoker. To think I had a major crush on him during the Knots years. Now he looks old enough to be my grandpa.

Grrrr.....I just knew Adam was setting Patty up. And now Summer has a debilitiating condition? Patty's road to recovery (not redemption, notice) is getting longer and longer. The silver lining is that Adam and PAtty don't seem to be lovers at this point, so that still leaves my hopes high for Pane (Patty and Cane).

So Jack, Sharon, Phyllis and Nick are all friends again! Yay! Enjoy it now suckas till Sharon gets horny again. Or Nick remembers that redheads aren't the freshest produce at the market.

So Victor is truly making some of the worst decisions I've EVER seen him make. First he hires whack-job (lovable though she is) and now is hiring Glo-Jeff to do in Colleen, who hire Jill's one-night-only stud (Ruxton's happy!) to get her drunk and make "Colleen Goes Wild!" DVD's - please show us your tatas, Collie! Make your two days of work this month count for something! Perhaps this could be her "big story" after all?

The intentional stupidification of Victor is sad, yet amusing. I guess Eric Braeden no longer cares if Victor comes off as stupid and if the vasectomy fiasco proved anything, he no longer cares about the general crap writing for the show and his character.

I actually have always gotten the feeling that Braeden doens't care how smart Victor comes off.. as long as Victor come out the winner... the Barney bad-ass. I always felt that Braeden's main concern has been Victor's alpha male status and his virility. (Hence, his sperm being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.)

Um, what kind of doctor can Victor fly into Genoa City to make CKLily a better actress and Colleen/Gloria/Jeffrey contract some made-up illness so they could die off?

The same one that gets Maria Arena Bell, Hogan Sheffer, and Scott Hamner fired...

And that's assuming we get more competent replacements...

Eh, daytime is dying, and I don't know why we care anymore...

That's cause i don't think Braden's a terribly intelligent man - not from his interviews at least.

I guess we should be thankful for some things, a year ago, Ana was singing in every other episode it seemed. She hasn't been on in what seems like months, and that's definitely one good thing I can say right now...

I'm anxiously awaiting that Ana and Tyra will next to be written out...

And really, this "Colleen" is a totally new and stupid character. Can you imagine Fonseca and Leon playing this disaster? Tammin is miscast, my opinion of course, but Colleen was never a ho that liked to get hammered and she was never this pathetically dumb. The sad thing is, this is a CORE character, and she's being wasted away by poor writing and casting.
