She is HORRIBLE.

She's supposed to be this psycho in training and yet she talks/sounds like a 90's slacker type. It's odd.

God, how contrived and plot-driven can this show get, and do they really need to prop Cane and Adam EVEN MORE?

So, Dr. Taylor shows up for ONE DAY to "tell Ashley everything" and just ends up being struck by a car. :rolleyes:

See, what I mean when I say everything is done for shock value on this show? This show is just beyond hokey, trashy, and offensively boring and predictable.

And then Jill and Tucker want to offer CANE the VP of Chancellor Industries position? Based on what, running a bar and his 2 month stint at Chancellor prior? I do not like Cane, and he's out of place in the corporate world on this show. This character is unbearable and useless, and he's ALWAYS getting propped in some way or another.

I hope Dr. Taylor isn't killed and lives to tell his side of the story at Adam's trial, but this crappy writing team seems intent on whitewashing his criminal history and making sure he doesn't get the type of punishment he deserves. If Dr. Taylor dies, it would be such a waste, this character had loads more potential in the future of this mess of a Adam storyline.

Well, at least Phyllis saw Adam and Dr. Taylor's little scuffle before Taylor was hit by the car...

The actress playing Daisy continues to be just unbearable....

It seems like this show constantly doesn't plan ahead and runs out of ideas of things for these characters to do and then inserts a random plane crash, fire, or car accident to fill in time in each episode.

Like several others, I'm glad the painting was saved.

I think Taylor was wasted. I realize they want to just eliminate a threat to Adam, but it would have been more interesting to have Taylor lingering in the background...always a threat to Adam's happiness. Plus (some of you might know it) I wanted Taylor to be the "surprise" shooter in the "who shot Adam" mystery coming up in May. :lol:

However, with the pacing of Wednesday's show, it's looking more like "who shot Adam" will happen tomorrow, and be resolved next week.

Well, for me, they could still redeem this Taylor thing if they pulled a "Sheila's mother". For now, Taylor would be in a coma...lingering. Then, when he eventually awakens, he'd have both damaged memory and damaged ability to speak. But he'd start frantically trying to learn to say the word "Bah...beh....bah...beh". And we'd know he was struggling to tell Ashley and Sharon.

Ah, I miss how Bill Bell totally ramped up the tension of a babyswitch.

I [!@#$%^&*] hate Cane and always will.

The dude screams Sony hire. "Oooh, if we hire a guy from a syndicated science-fiction show no one watched it's still more prestigious than hiring soap people. The audience will be impressed!" Who even watched Beastmaster?

Y&R was pretty good yesterday. It's really hooking me again. I am still on the fence on nuMalcolm. And that damn lily, looking like a cone head

HateHateHate how they characterize Sharon. Even if she was written more as a damsel before now, it was done more subtely. This writing team has this insulting need to to spell out their characterizations and their plotlines I feel as if I'm watching hooked on phonics. They do the same thing with Billy

Everyone- Billy is such a screw up

Billy- This is who I am, a screw up

Jeez! Give the viewer a bit of credit

And Goddard plays him SO smug.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE.

He comes of the same way in his interviews and behind the scenes antics whenever I catch it also. I dunno why he does this, ironically he doesn't annoy me as some others at times

I really hope that they don't put have Billy figure out what Adam is doing before Ashley and Sharon do.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE.

ICAM.

He's pure HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE. And I told them so in the Nielsen survey...

This show is such a horrible clusterfuck, and it isn't even bad in a campy way where you could at least get some fun out of it. It's just plain bad.

  • Member

God, I really hope that Nielsen survey sparks some change on this show, whether it be the way things are done, or especially it it means most of this current writing team will be fired.

We could end up getting another hack, but the risk is worth it at this point. If daytime is ending sooner or later, we might as well enjoy a good first 6 months of the next potential regime, if we can get it.

Actually I liked the Billy and Rafe scenes today and I don't care at this point if Billy destroys Adam cause somebody has to do it sooner or later.

  • Member

TPTB have done so much damage to Nick & Billy their grudges against Adam look petty at best.

  • Member

Yeah, at this point, who cares how Adam goes down, as long as he does. I lost interest in the Adam character long ago anyway.

Though, Billy has become an insufferable character that's the shiny toy of this horrible writing team. This character had a lot more potential that as he's written, but which character doesn't on this show? Billy Miller and his tics really grate my nerves too.
