[Cheap21]

I havent read this but I wonder what they would actually consider soap's hottest trends. Based on the crap we are dished out, Im sure at least some of these are on there.

1. Lookalikes (Patty/Emily, Lauren/Sarah, Y&R)

2. Baby Switches (Days, Y&R)

3. Cancelled! (GL, ATWT, soon to be OLTL)

4. Pointless Returns (Kelly, OLTL; Skye, GH)

5. Miscast Recasts (Malcolm, Heather, Y&R;

6. Stupid Characters (All)

7. Plot Twists that Make No Sense (Rex's paternity, OLTL;

8. Plot Twists That Go Nowhere (Adam has a son, AMC)

9. Idiotic Police (PVPD, AMC; LPD, OLTL; PCPD, GH)

10. Black Characters that are rarely used ( B&B, OLTL, GH,)

11. Hiring Bad Writers to do an Equally Bad Job on New Soap (Kreizman, AMC; Passante, OLTL)

12. Annoying Teens (AMC, OLTL, Y&R)

13. Killing Off Legacy Familes ( Abbots/Carltons, Y&R; Quartermaines, GH)

14. Forced Couples With No Chemistry (TeenJess/Cris, OLTL; JR/Marissa, AMC)

15. Cougars ( Jackie, B&B; Erica, AMC, Olivia, GH)

The Salem PD and the Jokedale PD are pretty dense too, I think they are dumbest of all the soap PDs.
