I think this is true as well. Destiny is always echoing someone's problem/trying to solve someone's problem. She's been doing it quite a bit with Dani lately.

And there really isn't much focus on a storyline for her and Darren. The other day, she told Darren to walk away so that Nate/Dani could have time alone, and the attention was focused on Nate/Dani and how their romance was highlighted. I've never seen Destiny kiss Darren, has she? I don't know if she really likes him a lot, or if she's just kind of with him, because he really likes her and she couldn't have Matthew. I know she didn't care for Darren much at first, but it seems like she's softened towards him.

Greg hasn't really been doing a whole lot lately, but what he has done has been for the most part wrong and he's been getting pushed around by people.

I do like Shaun. He may not be the best actor. But I think he's nice and comes off as a regular person, like someone in real life people could know/be friends with/be related to.

I always seem to have a different opinion than the other posters. I actually like both actors - Jason and Terrell. I'm not upset about Jason leaving because Markko had no purpose on the show. His only storyline option was whether he would or would not get back with Langston, and quite frankly, I don't really care either way. I also found his family obnoxious and self-righetous. (His mom slapping Dorian because Lang cheated on Markko? Really? That infuriated me that she demeaned Dorian as a mother, when Dorian adopted Langston when she was a teenager and provided her with everything. So the girl cheated on Markko. They're in their teens. It happens. It doesn't make Dorian a bad mother, deserving of physical assault.) Bottom line, not sad to see Markko go - only wish he would take Lang with him.

Greg, on the other hand, I liked. There was something easy about him; he wasn't the best actor and struggled with the more emotional scenes, but it was never bad (like John, Gigi, Rex, etc.). I also like Destiny and Shaun and thought the three of them had an interesting dynamic.

Unfortunately it does kind of come off like this. The other day Destiny and Darren had to leave so that the “star” teen couple (Dani/Nate) out of their group, had to be featured more. Today’s she’s once again talking about being there for Dani,

I think they should have paired Destiny with Matt, a while ago. I thought those two had chemistry and she was very supportive of him back when he couldn’t walk. But the writers didn’t pair them partly because of Dani, and then they dropped Dani/Matt, I think because Matt’s look didn’t fit their idea of typical teen hunk. And Nate did for them, plus they found a way to tie him to the Fords.

If Destiny/Matt had been paired together, I think they both would have had better storylines right now. And that Matt probably wouldn't be acting as jerky as he is now. Even though he might still be an intern at BE. Maybe he could have still worked at BE under Clint and maybe went a little darker under Clint’s influence. But not IMO as snotty/dark as he’s become since Dani dumped him. And Destiny could have called him out on any bad behavior he would have done due to working with Clint at BE.

I think they're more modern than that.

Bigoted deb: Danielle, you're so pretty and you come from good stock, just like us.

Danielle: Thanks.

BD: Why don't you visit our Llanview Confederate Club? We celebrate our heritage.

Danielle: Sure. Can I invite my best friend Destiny?

BD: I don't see why not.

(Destiny and Danielle show up and Destiny is given cold stares)

Spoiled deb: Can you take my coat?

Destiny: Do you think I work here or something?

SD: I don't speak jive.

Dani: That's racist!

Destiny: It's OK...I'm used to it...

(Destiny begins to cry)

Dani: WELL I'M NOT! THE ONLY COLOR I SEE IS RED!!!!

Todd: Gotaproblemhere?

Dani: Dad, do something NOW!

Todd: OK.

(bodyguards shove all the girls down flights of stairs)

Destiny: Thank you Mr. Manning. Now I know we might have a bright tomorrow. I don't have to hug you do I?

Viki: Of course you should hug Todd. He is an emblem of our color blind future. God bless you, Todd.

Todd: Yeah, whatever.

Blair: Tea, you would be so proud...(weeps into Tea's picture)

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
