Members Juliajms Posted September 17, 2009 Members Share Posted September 17, 2009 Seriously, it pissed me off. How insulting to all of the adoptive parents out there. Time after time soaps act as if they are second class parents. The really odd thing about this is that now Eric will be Marcus' legal parent and Donna won't. Of course, it's equally odd that someone who has already been adopted is being readopted as a grown man. This story is so beyond stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted September 17, 2009 Members Share Posted September 17, 2009 Absolutely. Let's see. Donna slept with one black man about 20 years ago. She disappeared. Now she has a black son. Hmmm. HUGE mystery there! What is the point? I guess with Stephanie's returning "illness" and Donna's returning 'lost love", we have a fissure in the unbreakable Eric-Donna union. Yawn. Isn't it time for Ridge and Brooke to break up? That seems more novel and exciting to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 17, 2009 Members Share Posted September 17, 2009 And that is the only bright spot in this nonsense. I understand they want to ramp up the drama with Marcus calling Eric "dad" and all that, but it's all so contrived. Possibly the most contrived story I've seen on this show all year and that is saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members baller Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 AMEN to that! He is one purdy boy, and I'm loving him so far. I'm glad B&B didn't try and draw out the reveal, there's some good drama without 6 months of "is he mine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoldBeauty Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 Maybe, just maybe we can be lucky to have Steph's stroke and Justin's entrance be the beginning of a Stephanie/Eric reunion? Let's face it, Donna/Eric is going nowhere. There would be more storylines for them as divorced and fighting over the mansion, the company and other stuff. Texas Battle is beautiful, but he is playing Marcus as if he´s 9 years old. Marcus is in need of a personality change. New guy Justin Barber is fine, maybe there´s still a spark between him and Donna? Maybe they can be a family now, after spending 20-something years apart. I think La Flannery will get nominated next year. She´s already had great material when Stephanie was fired from Forrester, she was at the bottom standing on the rocks on a beach looking out and remembering her life and then joining Jackie M. Now a stroke. Sounds like more Emmy-material to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted September 20, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 20, 2009 Wow, I can't believe Justin found out about Marcus so quickly. Cat, you were right, this story is going to be over by Monday. This is brutal pacing! Brad Bell needs to give Gary Tomlin a call because Tomlin is like the master at pacing right now.

Members Chris B Posted September 21, 2009 Members Share Posted September 21, 2009 Last week was UNBEARABLE with tired Donna who is in dire need of a break and Mushmouth Marcus being written like a 2 year old. So happy to tune in today and see Brooke looking FIERCE and Stephanie is back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted September 21, 2009 Members Share Posted September 21, 2009 My mom thinks Donna is a monster. Since she returned to soaps, it's Jennifer Garies and Kim Zimmer that have gotten the most "LOL" responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted September 21, 2009 Members Share Posted September 21, 2009 I still think they need to recast Marcus. How many Remy was there on Y&R? Since Donna didn't comfirm that he was the father. I hope this means they going to hire more black guys from their High School years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
