It's a funny line, but even "Original Recipe Janet," who was all frumpy clothes and bad hairdo, wasn't that bonkers (sorry, Daisy). To me, it's almost as if the writers either don't remember the original characterization, or they're suggesting that medication/therapy did her more harm than good.

I hope so. I realize how hard it is to rationalize the behavior of a woman who (among other things) stole her sister's life (and husband), pretended to be someone else after cosmetic surgery (oh, right, that never happened!), brought a gun to a wedding in order to kill the bride and groom, talks to her mirror image all the time, stuffed her husband in a freezer b/c he wouldn't shut up (not that I blame her; I, myself, wanted to put "Uncle Porkchop" in deep freeze years ago), and blew up an entire Mardi Gras party, killing one and exposing practically the entire town to physical and psychological harm. Nevertheless, even if I accept that Janet regressed somehow, for whatever reason, I can't buy even Janet "From Another Planet" Green being as nuts as she is today. I have to think that whoever was responsible for her therapy back in Colorado either misread her condition completely, or they pushed Janet to such extremes b/c he/she had an axe to grind. And you know what? Not that I'm HW material, but I'd like to think that Janet's then-psychiatrist, who might've been secretly in love with Trevor and wanted him for herself, used Janet's history against her, twisting her psyche even more than it already was, in an attempt to drive the Dillons apart.

Or that Ceara (not to mention, the security guard) was too dumb to run or defend herself in the century that elapsed between her turning around to find Janet with the light fixture and Janet actually knocking her unconscious.

OMG can someone PLEASE ship Marissa OUT for good. She bores me to tears and the woman can't act either.

I'm a bit tired of Janet's plotline each time she comes. Can't they do something else with her?

Jerica is still smokin hot :wub: I need to see some lovin next time.

    • Thanks for all the info. I did not know about some of that. That explains when Sue Ellen did her movie, she did not include Pam. I figured she would have the them do the scene of when J.R. caused her to fall that caused the miscarriage or show the flashback of it. Victoria was right to leave if they were not willing to pay her the same rate as Duffy. She got screwed because of Duffy leaving and then he gets paid the big bucks to return. I have come to dislike the Bobby character somewhat. Duffy seemed to get more smarmy/hammy as the show progressed, especially after his return. I always hated how Bobby threw Pam under the bus where Jenna was concerned. Even in the first year, Bobby would drop everything for Jenna and then acted like Pam was being ridiculous when she was a bit jealous. They resolved Charly was not Bobby's in that episode, but then when Jenna returned, they started that crap all over again. I might have cared if Fairchild had returned to the role and it was better written, but Presley did not impress me enough to care about Jenna.  I also thought it was a mistake to kill off Kristin so fast. She could have driven story for years. Since they did kill her off, they should have had baby Christopher to really be J.R.'s and have Bobby and Pam keep the secret for years. Maybe have little Christopher start to exhibit devious tendencies as he started to grow up. 
    • I’m not watching but people are saying the Muchova/Sabalenka match is great.
    • I think we're nearer the tipping point where SCOTUS will have to finally be overhauled, tbh. It will take time but it's rattled the general public.
    • Was she up for the part Julia Stiles got, I wonder? Dexter's equally crazy mate? I'd assume so. Claudia and Johnny were weirdly intimate together from the jump (and again, I felt it suited the very gothic characters) so I'm not sure I fully agree with that complaint, though I can understand not wanting it to be made more textual. I've seen too many women like Sarah Brown dismissed as crazy or irrational over the years only to be vindicated through the passage of time. So I'm sure Sarah has a lot of very valid and true complaints about her ordeals with her ex, some of her work at GH, etc. But I'm not sure what she wanted Jackie or others to do, or about what instance specifically.
    • I've seen several people suggest this is to save face for some terrible rulings to come. I don't doubt it, although I don't want to take for granted that we're near the tipping point where SCOTUS will have enough Alito types that they won't even give these crumbs. I wonder if Roberts, always so anxious and angst-ridden about public perception of the Court, finally feels foolish for boasting about the end of racism when he struck down most of the VRA.
